To all R.T.S fans and those wanting a refreshing new game experience.

Disclaimer- this is not a spam fanboy post, this is a recruitment post for new players in a upcoming tournament and to get those playing for fun regardless. You should read either way as its very interesting!

One of the bloodiest, longest running tournaments is back. The myth world cup 2013!
In order to celebrate its solidarity as one of the longest lasting and Award winning Real time Tactical Strategies around. With the new 1.8 patch going to be used in the myth world cup it is the PERFECT time for modern gamers to join with the new introduction of modern hotkeys and Touchscreens.


Fielding around 50-70 players on average the community run server is small (bungie shutting down in 2001) the community created their own servers to continue to play the game online. My job along with many other mythers who stil play is to encourage new blood to the game thus keeping the game going.

Sadly the community has been stagnating because of lack of Cd's available and platforms like Steam and GoG have not picked this classic game up of yet.

Here are some of the reasons why you should play myth instead of a new release game.

1. For ten dollars you can most likely find it on Ebay
2. There are no Cd-keys and no DRM required, a online custom plugin server Check out the vid below of all the different games you can play "for free" on this one game.



3. You dont need a heavy system to run this game. The new patches have made it able to run on mac, linux and of course pc.


Finally ill show you some game-play of myth from my experiences and Recorded games from previous tournaments. Below the vid is just some game information as well.


* 16 players in a single game, 6 teams maximum, free for all and 10 different game types Ranging from Capture the flag to assassin. Requiring your unit trade purchases to accommodate for the objectives.

* Experience, terrain and random chaotic factors such as bottle and mortar duds make for realistic game-play

* Record films, Play co-operitive mode with other players on the campaign now with full narration.

*team and self damage- realism that you can not simply shoot fireballs at your own troops to kill enemies rushing your forces at close distances for example.


Please send me a private message if you are interested in participating, I will give you a step by step guide to get you into the game as there is a few steps such as registering with the community server and patching your game required from multiple websites.


I really thank those who read this far, you deserve a medal. Please feel free to post any Questions here and Ill answer them accordingly!

But I like sc2/bw dawn of war, company of heros all the action rts (moba)stuff and got age of empire hd on back log.
Also 'what is myth' Isn't a very good video showing what it is.
No mechanices where explained eg is it a macro heavy game, is a micro focus or a balance of the tower
its it squad mechanic like Dawn of war (i can't tell from footage given)
you have pretty much stated everything i dont care about.
I wont to know
1 Just tell me why you think its fun how it is different?
2 what makes it different from other rts?
3 pacing is it fast paced slow paced or between?
4 what economic mechanics dose it have?
5 what dose end game look like e.g. huge army hurled at each other or many skirmishes across the map?
6 is Teching up of great value in this game?
7 and finaly counters and meta dosnt the winning player determined by the one with greatest mechanical skills e.g. apm and unit control/positioning or one with the greatest knowledge of game e.g. counters and anti counters?

yeah i'm interested if you didn't that pick up. but only depending on dem answers will I decide.

p.s. I rarely post so this should be considered an achievement sparking my interest.

Ok listen I am here to answer any of your questions regarding this.

1a it is fun because all the units have different. Value ,the combinations can mold a strategy but no game is ever the same
1b it is different because once you learn every game is different , understand the economic unit trading and play opponents from over twenty different countries, and realize how much control over your units yo can kick ass

2 it is he only rts who had its servers shut Down have have company go make the highly successful halo series have continued support from its. Community for over ten years. It's unit trading is also what makes it more of a real time tactics over strategy, as some have said before

3 both it has elements of fast paced micro and slow paced macro

4 each team or player starts with an amount of unit trading mesh and the map default trade. You can change your squad and there are settings to turn this off if you are the host. If teams are enabled a captain distributes units to his or her teamates. There are other meta gaming economics in free for all games where there is only one winner out of three to sixteen players, but that is hard to describe and easier to understand after playing.

5 uhh the end game yourre in a volcano trying to save the world with the last great avatars crowned emperor. End game for me is multiplayer . You can play single player games onlne with up to sixteen people in cooperative mode as well. Games made by bungee always have dope storylines, but there are gigs of third party maps scenarios and campaigns out there. The experience doesn't end confrontisoulblighter on level twentysix

6 units get kills become and veterans and attack faster, etcetera

7 uhh it's like a mixture of both but anyone can lose at any given time if they aren't focused. So you need to understand the game to truly have mechanical prowess over other players . We call players who can master both sides of the game are the best. I'd say macro comes down to counter anti counter but microcomes down to mechanics.
