Myth Village has just posted examples and the format of the personal decals available in Myth III. The game will allow you to create your own 64x64 icon that will be placed on many of your units making them easier to see in battle and overall just making them look really cool. A template file is available for those who want to get a jumpstart. Check it out.
MythVillage also received a demo shot of the blood in Myth III.
In addition to this, Craig Goodman has posted in our forum with new Myth III beta information. Apparently some folks were looking forward to an open beta, but Goodman stresses that arranging such an at this point would interrupt the game's progress. He also informs us that a patch will be available just after release and will address some of the bugs that couldn't be squashed in time for the gold master.
