What’s inside v1.0?
- Dongzhou Map: Alongside the original map, warriors can now explore the coastal island of Dongzhou, an expansive new territory featuring islets, volcanoes, seas, sandy shores, and ships, as well as new boss content. The Dongzhou map includes the original map’s realistic day-night cycle, diverse ecosystems, and various cultures of NPCs and is available as a free separate DLC download.
- Musical Instruments DLC: This pack contains ten musical instruments, including the dizi, guqin, se, pan flute, chime bells, and more! Now available for $4.99.
- The Year Of The Warlord: Start with nothing but your bare hands and wits in this massive ancient civilization open-world survival RPG. Learn new skills to build base structures, tame animals, and assemble an army to fortify your territory. Discover new technologies to unlock advanced weapons and inventions, then lead your forces into large-scale battles using armored cavalry, assault gliders, and even mobile elephant-mounted siege platforms against those who dare oppose your rule.
Brave the elements solo or band together with other players in hosted modes. Private servers have been upgraded to have the same functionality as official servers. - Craft Your Dynasty: Protect and fight for what is yours! More than 1,300 crafting recipes covering everything from structures, tools, work benches, equipment, and weapons to taming implements and culinary instruments. A new planting system allows players to grow crops wherever they like, freeing them to use the land in new, creative ways. More weapon, structure, saddle, and armor cosmetics will be released soon.
- Master The Battlefield: Hundreds of weapons, armor, and large-scale warfare equipment that are accurate to historic warring periods are featured. From decorative broadswords, heavy-bladed polearms, and “heaven-shaking” gunpowder explosives, choose weapons and gear that best suit different battlefield scenarios and your play style. This full launch adds powerful mechanical base defenses, wooden oxen, and new combat equipment to enrich the game’s deep war experience further.
- Wage War by Land, Air, and Sea: New land-based vehicles of war include siege wagons, ballistas, climbing tools for towering walls and catapults, and now adds transportation by air and seas with soaring gliders and giant sky lanterns, as well as rafts and massive warships.
- A Menagerie of Tameable Beasts: Horses are an important part of ancient warfare and critical to great military victories! Motion capture with live horses created realistic animations for rearing, bucking, attacking, and jumping. Nearly all creatures in the game can be tamed to fight alongside you in battle, for transportation, and for collecting resources. Now, players will discover new methods to breed animals with inherited and strengthened attributes to be more powerful and efficient.
- Legendary Battlefield Challenges: In addition to new boss encounters and revamped boss AI, the full game features horse racing and different PVE server events like simulated Fortress and Prefecture Battles that allow PvE players to experience the game’s large-scale cross-server combat without the risk of losing their fortress.
- Expand Your Rule: The bloody, immersive battles of Myth of Empires showcase an arsenal of authentic ancient weapons and siege equipment. New defensive structures and mechanical collection tools for Version 1.0 will liberate players’ creativity and enable them to build ever more advanced and powerful empires.
- Modding Support: A robust modding tool gives players more power over the world of Myth of Empires than ever before.
- New Civilizations Are Coming: A steady flow of content is planned for the PC version with Persian, Greek, and Egyptian maps in development with all new structures, weapons, tools, and equipment, alongside a console release later this year.
