Let’s Play Myth II: Soulblighter Co-op #11 Through the Ermine
We’re playing the next of Bungie’s famous franchises, the Real Time Tactics fantasy wargame, Myth. Set in a mysterious land of cyclical war and destruction, Myth lets you command a ragtag army in a desperate battle against the forces of the Fallen Lords.
We journey through Mirkwoo… I mean, the Ermine on our way to find the Fallen Lord Myrdred to help our cause.
In this episode we’re once again using the high definition tagset, made by Ooga Booga, Renwood and Road. The Myth Myth HD Total Conversion v1.31 provides higher resolution units.
Due to the tireless work of many community members over the years, the Myth engine has been modernized to work on current operating systems, although you’ll still need a copy of the game’s data files to play. Check Ebay.
For the engine itself as well as texture enhancements, go to Project Magma:
There’s also multiplayer metaserver available for competitive carnage:
A bunch of other Myth-related downloads are available at The Tain:
Intro and outro Music “Into the Breach”
by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori from Myth The Fallen Lords.

Fan Fiction Friday featuring Chapters 3 and 4 of LORC: Beginnings Act 2
I feel like this is a very Louis Wu-like thing to say, but I’ve been horrible on checking the Fan Fiction area of our site the past while and missed out on the latest LORC! You can read chapters 3 and 4 of LORC: Beginnings Act 2 now on our website, and having gone through it myself already, it might make you long for the Flood to come back in the video games like it did for me! HWPD does very well in capturing the grotesque horror of the parasites!(MacGyver10 16:53:55 UTC)
