legend Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Way back in the day, I used to love Warcraft 2. Then Bungie released Myth: The Fallen Lords (and subsequently Myth II: Soulblighter). It was an RTS unlike other RTS games. Specifically, there was no building or resource management whatsoever. The units you got, were the units you got, other than occasional single player preset reinforcements or in multiplayer the fact that different units were worth different points and you can choose which set you wanted for your budget. The thing that made Myth different is without the resourcing it focused entirely on the tactics of how you used your units in a physics driven world. After playing so much Myth, other RTS games felt boring because the actual tactics was so shallow with the main point being to make giant forces. Even now, 20 years later, I still find RTS games boring in comparison. SC2, for example, didn't really do anything for me. So I'm curious, are there any modern RTS games like Myth that focus on interesting strategy? It kind of blows my mind that no one took this formula and ran with it. For reference for those are unfamiliar with it, here's a video (this player is pretty bad though ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Wargame and Steel Division. Though SD is WW2 and Wargame is let's say 1960-1990s ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I really miss Myth and especially hearing the in game narrator say “casualty” every time a unit bit it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 @legendI just want to say thank you for bringing me back to nostalgia land and completely encapsulating my thoughts & feelings about RTS' as a genre as a whole because Myth ruined me as well!
