Myth of Empires News

Greetings, Warriors!

As previously announced, Myth of Empires V1.0 will be released on February 21, 2024. In the lead up to release, we will be holding a Steam Playtest starting on January 23 and lasting for 7 days. This test will feature 18 servers covering the Asian, European, and North American regions. When the test is live, interested players will be able to click the “Request Access” button on the Myth of Empires Steam store page to apply for the test.

Now, we’d like to share even more content that is coming to the game at the V1.0 release:


[h3]Mechanical Crate[/h3]
This is a new type of storage crate that can only store one type of item, albeit in much greater quantities than other storage crates.


[h3]Scythe Wagon[/h3]
The scythe wagon is a combat vehicle powered by horses. It is composed of four parts: the main body, the spinning blades at the front of the vehicle, the blades at the back of the vehicle, and the blades upon the two wheels. Like a porcupine, this vehicle can shed blood in any direction it wishes. Unlike a porcupine, it is relatively quick and agile. Of course, such a vehicle is bound to see lots of action and require a little maintenance from time-to-time.


[h3]Climbing Claws[/h3]
Central to a new mechanic making its debut in V1.0, these claws can be used to scale steep walls and cliffs. They not only give the game a certain degree of verticality, they also give players a good way to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Here are answers to some of the questions we’ve seen raised in our communities recently:

• More Details on Private Servers - In addition to the official servers, Myth of Empires V1.0 includes 5 different private server modes. Solo/Hosted Mode includes solo, LAN, and internet servers. Custom servers support both single-server and server cluster modes. Check out the table below to see more details on the differences between the different server modes. Instructions on setting up these servers will be posted at some point before the V1.0 release.
  
• Reworked Horse Breeding - We have optimized various mutation stats that appear when breeding horses, making the system more balanced overall.
  
  
• Hand-held Illumination - We have added a variety of new handheld lanterns to the game that will help you find your way in dark areas and at night.
  
• Random Equipment Stat Bonuses - Through forging, equipment can obtain random bonus attributes that will help you on your adventure
  
• Equipment Signatures - You will be able to sign equipment you make. This signature will include your server info, guild, and character’s name, giving the equipment you worked so hard to craft just a little bit of a personal touch.
  
• Ice Walls - In cold regions, players can pour water on their fortress walls to make them icy, which will make them more difficult for enemies to climb.
  
• New Character Appearances - Additional appearance presets have been added with different skin colors and styles.
  

The development team will continue answering frequently asked questions in future v1.0 content announcements.

Myth of Empires Version 1.0 is scheduled to release on February 21, 2024. In the meantime, we will continue to release new gameplay and content reveals. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out to us on official channels.

Finally, we would like to reveal a new cosmetic exclusively for veteran players who purchased the game before the V1.0 release. It is because of your support that we on the development team have had the courage to surmount the challenges we’ve faced during the game’s development, and it is because of your support that we will continue to improve Myth of Empires and make it as good as it can be.

The development team will continue answering frequently asked questions in future v1.0 content announcements.

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve shown off some of the air and sea vehicles that will be available when Myth of Empires V1.0 releases in February. Today, we’d like to show off some of the new automated defenses that will be appearing in the game. These defenses are mainly powered by animals, and can assist with defending your fortress or, in some cases, with small-scale operations.


[h2]Chain Ballista[/h2]
This heavy-duty automatic ballista fires giant chain-type bolts that unfold into large, rotating umbrellas that can intercept incoming projectiles. These ballistas can be powered by pigs, wolves, leopards, or tigers placed into its power cages.


[h2]Toxic Ballista[/h2]
This relatively small ballista fires poisoned bolts. The poison on these bolts slows enemy targets and can even inflict continuous damage. These ballistas can be placed like normal defenses, or even hung upside down from ceilings or the platforms of Giant Sky Lanterns, and are powered by rabbits and foxes placed into their power cages.


[h2]Auto Flamethrower[/h2]
This small automated defense unleashes infernal fury upon any enemy that gets too close. Power it up by placing a rabbit or fox into its power cage.

In addition, we also have some answers for some of the community’s frequently asked questions:

• Steam inventory items. The game’s various cosmetic items that players can purchase will be automatically converted into Steam inventory items. So long as the cosmetic item has not been used, it will be tradeable on the Steam Community Market. Cosmetic items can be used on the Classic Era servers, New Era servers, season servers, private servers, and in solo mode.
  
• Crate drops. Accumulate a certain amount of time in-game to get free skin crates. Unused skins will be tradeable on the Steam Community Market.
  
• Convert warriors into servants. Players will be able to convert their unused warriors into servants. This operation is irreversible. These servants will not be able to assist in combat or production and are decorative only. They can equip your clothes, weapons, and skins as well as use your interactive animations. In the initial stages, each player may have up to 30 servants, though this number may be adjusted later on depending on game performance.
  
• Warriors now help collect resources. Players will be able to earn Fame with the game’s various factions (for example, Pirates) through stronghold battles. Once their Fame reaches a certain level, they will unlock that faction’s resource points. Additional Fame earned beyond that will increase the level of those resource points. Players will then be able to dispatch their warriors on quests to collect resources from those faction resource points. After some time, the warriors will return with those resources. There are currently six major factions in the game, and the resource points of each one have different difficulties and outputs.
  
• New inherited animal skills. New inherited skills have been added to the animal breeding system. In addition to affecting the amount of resources collected from animal pens, these skills can affect how much power an animal generates when put into a structure’s power cage.
  
• Improved boss AI. Human NPC bosses and beast lords now have improved skills and behavioral AI. This is a long-term effort which will be further improved in subsequent updates.
  

The development team will continue answering frequently asked questions in future v1.0 content announcements.

First of all, the Myth of Empires development team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!



We recently debuted the “Raft” vehicle that will be sailing into the world of Myth of Empires in the Version 1.0 release. Today, we are going to focus on something entirely new to MoE: flight!

Let’s start with the Giant Sky Lantern. This vehicle will allow players to move through the air, and also provides some defensive and offensive capabilities. Players will be able to place small pieces of furniture and even small ballistas on the platform beneath the lantern. The Giant Sky Lantern works like a hot air balloon, with lift provided by a flame on the central platform. It can also move forward and turn with the help of a power cage. To use the Giant Sky Lantern, simply place a tamed fox or rabbit within the power cage, and make sure they are well-fed.



The Giant Sky Lantern, along with the recently-announced Raft, are but two of the new vehicles offered in Version 1.0 that players will have at their disposal to traverse the ever-expanding world of Myth of Empires. Later, larger upgraded vehicles will be added to meet more comprehensive construction needs.



Next up, we have the Kite Launcher. True to its name, it is a large ballista that launches kites. These kites are different from the gliders we showed off in the Version 1.0 trailer. While gliders allow players to control their flight, these kites cannot change direction. Yet they also have their advantages. For instance, it is much easier to take flight using a kite launcher as opposed to a glider. Their flight distance can also be increased by launching them from greater heights. Kites can be equipped with a small number of items and then launched unmanned to achieve basic supply delivery objectives, or players can hang from them to move around the map more quickly. Players will also be able to launch arrows from the kite, as well as disengage from it mid-flight and descend to the ground using their own gliders, making them great for sneak attacks and reconnaissance.

Together, the Giant Sky Lantern, Kite Launcher, and hang glider mark a new era in Myth of Empires, one in which players will take to the skies to expand their dominance.

In addition, we’d also like to answer some of the questions that players have been asking us about Version 1.0.

1. Server interoperability. Myth of Empires Version 1.0 will have two server groups: Classic Era Servers and New Era Servers. Classic Era Servers cover servers that already exist. The data on these will not be deleted. Servers with the new map will be added to this server group, and will be interoperable with the old servers. New Era Servers will feature all brand-new servers featuring the old map, as well as new servers featuring the new map, which will be interoperable with one another. Classic Era Servers and New Era Servers are not interoperable (see the figure below). These changes will all be implemented upon the Version 1.0 release.



2. Counties and Prefectures. After the servers are adjusted, the number of counties in a single prefecture will be expanded from the original 16.
3. Proficiency. Players will be able to accumulate reserve Proficiency EXP from the game lobby.
4. Guild Adjustments. Guild member limits, alliance limits, and the number of counties conquerable by a single guild have all been adjusted.
5. New Ways to Collect Resources. New structures similar to the “Mining Hut” will be released to cover even more types of resources.
6. “PVP Areas” Within PVE Servers. Resource points in the main world have been restored, and PVP areas delineated.
7. Smoother Leveling. The effects of titles and proficiencies on a player’s combat power have been optimized to make leveling progress smoother.

The development team will continue answering frequently asked questions in future v1.0 content announcements.

As Christmas approaches, the Myth of Empires team sends its sincere blessings to all players!

At the same time, we would also like to debut a piece of new content that you will experience in Version 1.0: the raft.

With its power cage, paddles, and rudder, the raft is one of the key means of transportation connecting the Dongzhou Islands. You can get a basic idea how it moves from all the rotating devices, gears, and transmission rods visible on the raft’s model. The raft also supports small defensive structures and furniture.

The raft requires a tamed wild boar or wolf to move. Simply place the animal in the raft’s power cage and make sure it’s properly fed, and you will be able to conquer the waters between the Dongzhou Islands. Previously, wolves and boars could only be farmed for materials, but in Version 1.0, these powerful creatures will play a much greater role. Cultivate and breed high-quality animal bloodlines to ensure that you have the best animals for the job.



We will present more interesting gameplay content between now and the release of Myth of Empires Version 1.0. Make sure to stay tuned to our official Discord to keep up-to-date with all the latest Myth of Empires news!
