Myth of Empires Persia DLC Dev Log – Armor Sneak Peek

In our last dev log, we introduced some of the elements of the upcoming Greek Civilization DLC. In this dev log, we’ll show you some of the Persian Civilization DLC, which is being developed in tandem.

The Persian DLC is planned to be quite large in scale. First of all, the DLC will feature a comprehensive tech tree for this civilization. The additions go far beyond armor and architecture, and include production tools, modes of transportation, weapons of war, and more. This DLC will also include a brand-new map: The Western Regions. This map will feature unique landforms, environments, cultures, and more. New factions and creatures will also be added, giving players a whole new world to explore.

The Persian Civilization DLC and the Greek Civilization DLC are being developed in parallel with one another. Today, we’re going to show you some of the things we’ve started working on.



The armor of the Persian civilization has been a project of ours since before Myth of Empires V1.0’s release. Some players may remember seeing it at the tail-end of the trailer.
Like the rest of the armor in our game, we conducted historical research in our efforts to bring this armor to life. This armor mainly consists of chain mail covered with a breastplate and leggings. It has a silver, blue, and white aesthetic, with an exquisitely decorated helmet and pauldrons. This armor has a very intimidating aura about it.



The Western Regions map, which will be released alongside the Persian civilization content, will also include elements of regional cultures, including the Xiongnu and other factions of the Western Regions. These factions will have their own unique appearances, weapons, and villages. As an example, the Western Regions militia set exhibits strong multicultural characteristics, including decorations such as brilliantly-rendered silk and cotton, while incorporating elements of various styles. The costumes and weapons of these civilizations will also make their way into the crafting tree, allowing players to make and wear them.



At the same time, the armor sets of each faction are divided into different tiers representing the class differences of those factions. For instance, the Xiongnu bandit set puts a premium on flexibility and mobility, using a colorful mixture of leather and chain armor to provide protection. Meanwhile, higher-level bandits are equipped with more ornate helmets, bracers, and greaves.



The above armor sets are just part of what we’ve been working on for the Persian Civilization DLC. We plan to release this DLC along with the new Western Regions map toward the end of this year, with the previously-mentioned Greek Civilization DLC arriving sometime around July. In the meantime, let us know what you’d like to see in these DLCs in the comments below, or on our official Discord channel: discord.gg/mythofempires.


Till next time!
