This is great! Now Briarius, it's the time to ask for a hosted forum.

This is a demo-1,52 GB???

[SHREDDER]

I sincerely congratulate you))))

[MrBump]

Congratulations Briarius your mod is amazing, a real homage to the original. I love the dwarf explosion effects, you clearly loved them as much as I did. Balancing probably needs some tweaking, dwarfs are a bit underpowered against thrall IMO, but as a myth fan I'm really grateful for your hard work, cheers.

Thank you very much, Briariuss! I will download asap.

This.

Great job. I might wait until the full version though, as I have yet to play The Fallen Lords and Soulblighter.

[Polycarpe]

Briarius, I've tested it and it's very neat stuff. I'll be able to help you regarding unit balance which is one of my main expertise.

THANK YOU!

Congratulations for the release!

I understand that it's too early for such things, but I already have a suggestion for the future campain )

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I think it will be interesting to make 2 parts of the campain - first about the beginning of the Great War, when the greatly outnumbering forces of Fallen occupy the lands and the player should try to keep some main locations, sacrificing the rest major part of the territory. The player should feel the atmosphere of countless defeats, retreats and surviving on the edge of life and death. It shouldn't be a pleasing playing game. I think the fans of Myth universe understand me )
The second part is at your choice - according the storyline of the game or a free playing with fixed starting conditions.

Briarius, I just played the mod and I can say Ive never seen such a professional mod before. Everything is top quality. The models and textures are even better than in the pictures, just beautiful. The animations are top notch. They are so fluid and realistic. The particle effects and the new projectiles are just great. This is a work of art!

Hi all,

So this is where I left of!

I just wanted to stop in and say you're my personal modding hero. I don't know anything about the story, but have greatly enjoyed watching your model previews, your work is very considered and your conclusions seem perfect. Thankyou infinity for the community release of your wolves. Its tiny dream come true for me, as I'd been eyeing them for many months.

Thank you.

Yes, this is a demo cause it doesn't have campaign and it's definitely not ready. That's the size of it. I thought it was rather small.

Thank you! This is pretty much which I was going for. To live up to the original. Although there are many limitations in the engine so I will never be statisfied with the result. I know balancing is a must!!!

Thanks bitterhowl! Unfortunately it is indeed early to speak about campaign. Although X4VI3R already gave me very good and detailed campaign ideas. Your suggestions sounds pretty good too! Thank you!

Thank you paradamed. I know my strongest side is the visuals, the gameplay the balance , coding making campaign script etc.is gonna be a LOT! harder. But there are still many units left and I didn't stop working on this one!

Why dont you ask for your own Myth The Fallen Lords TW forum?

Also congratulation for release...

[DobroVece]

Cause it's just not possible right now.

Anyway, congratulations dude, you deserved it. Can't wait to see new units in action. And to think you got all the way by yourself, well:

You already know how I feel about your work, just keep pushing forward. Cheers!

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Finally got my computer running to come back to this? Awesome!

Congrats on the release, Bri

Hi Briarius, playing a lot of your mod and loving it, I can't wait till you introduce castle sieges so we can have something like the Siege of Llancarfan, the only really good level in Myth 3.

I have a couple of suggestions, I'm not sure if it's possible but dwarves should always run away from any force that approaches to close and never melee, this would make them more vulnerable to fast moving Ghols... on the dwarves there's a bug with the molotov throwers where if they're on skirmish they don't throw anything. Another thing is the Thralls do a small charge which, to me, is very un-thrallish, not a big issue though. Also, this might be a engine issue but the Fetch seem to fire into the ground when it's bumpy, the Fetch were always one of my most hated foes in Myth, I think their threat needs to be increased somehow...

Overall though the level of detail is that of a professional game, the battles are great to watch, thanks again.

Oh, one other thing, I had my archers behind some Heron Guard and when the enemy got too close they ceased to fire in fear of hitting the Heron, if this really is a mod that honoured Myth they would be planting arrows in the back of those soldiers with careless abandon!

[Briarius]

Thanks Lü Bu , and yes that's the answer that DobroVece, posted.

Cause it's just not possible right now.

The new units my friend are probably even more unbalanced than the ones you've tested as betatester.. Thanks for all your wishes.

The Holy Pilgrim Thank you Pilgrim.

MrBump I'glad you like it.

• Yeah I shall remove "start_not_skirmishing" attribute from dwarves.
• I like the Thrall charge. First of all, there are many, many limitations in the engine which means the result will never be exactly how it worked in Myth. Just something similar, that's a different game after all and here are different rules. Then why not add some plus to the Thralls? I think they need something like that. It can surprise a group of archers or skirmishers.
• Yes I know about the Fetch issue. But I'm thinking of changing their projectile for the hundred times. And give them a more powerfull and flashy lightning spell. They indeed have to be bigger threat!
• The archer thing, not shooting the back of their own foes, is another engine problem. I don't think I can change it.

Guys, who tried the mod, please feel free to post screens, make suggestions, report bugs, etc..
