When was this created? How to get Myth of Empires? Can I run this game? Battles are incredibly tedious in the beginning. They slowly improve as the might of your opposition grows, though they never achieve the drama of even the lowliest kobold free-for-all in the first Baldur's Gate.
Much of this is because the game seems completely off-balance. From the very start, you can wander into battles with creatures that are too powerful for your puny party. This out-of-place difficulty continues throughout the game, with you often feeling that you shouldn't be in your present location because the enemies are simply overwhelming.
The dark elves, for example, are insanely strong. Fleeing seems to be impossible. Yes, you can run away, but you remain in combat mode as long as the foe that triggered such a state is still alive. So you either inch forward by turns or try to find and slay the creature you're supposed to be fighting. Also, the living battlefield concept was jettisoned somewhere between the first PR information and the day that the game went gold, though.
You can't use items found in the game world for real strategic purposes--though you can smash some doors, furniture, and crates. This actually turns into a real negative, because you'll soon feel a compulsion to demolish every table, chair, and barrel encountered in search of items vital to your progression, such as keys.
As if the designers needed to slow you down even more One good thing about the, um, relaxed pace is that you'll have plenty of time to appreciate the artwork and animation. Party members are highly detailed, with accurate armor and weaponry, and move in a realistic fashion. Spell effects are often beautiful, though some of the standards that you'll be using much of the time--such as Magic Missile--are rather pedestrian.
Monsters are also very well drawn and animated, although there seems to be a limited number of monster types in the game. Even the more boring tunnels come to some life thanks to good artwork. Certain objects seem to almost protrude from the screen due a winning use of color, texture, and shadows.
Other successful elements include a musical score packed with nuances. Where games of this type tend to favor bombast over subtlety in their music, this one goes in the other direction and blends sweeping tones with minor notes that hint at a sense of humor and wonderment.
Perhaps the most enjoyable frill, however, is the personalized Dungeon Master who describes your travels. His scene-setting gives Ruins of Myth Drannor a pen-and-paper feel that makes one a little misty-eyed for the real thing. Overall, though, Ruins of Myth Drannor looks like a tremendous mistake. Choosing to be the first computer game to present the Third Edition rules seems to have been the most serious error made by Stormfront Studios. Much of the basic design is confused and unwieldy, likely because the designers were trying to create a game at the very same time as those new rules were being drawn up.
In this regard, the game was truly ahead of its time One has to wonder who thought this to be an astute idea in the first place. Even at the time that this decision was first announced, I thought that it was more than a little foolish to be basing a game upon rules that had yet to be finalized. The potential for trouble was obvious right from the start. That initial poor judgment seems to have prevented the game design from ever developing a real identity. But even after playing the game, I'm still not sure what that means.
Neither are the designers, as far as I can tell. Screenshots from MobyGames. MorguloN 0 point. I love this game! GEK -3 points. I admit I'm not a tech person, but this is frustrating. I unzip the zip file. I see CD1 and CD 2 but no exe or setup extensions.

Having trouble with characters in the game. I have them as see through and the spinning rock at the beginning is invisible.
Tried running it under compatibility Windows XP but still no good. Don't know what to do. Any help?? Rhaazyk 3 points.
Why all the evil comments about a game that allows you to save and choose another route if you run into big baddies you can't handle yet? Learn to save often and early! That's what I did and I got to play it and enjoyed it very much! I found this game anything BUT boring.
It's supposed to be a challenge. I played it on a Windows X PC and never had the problems others seem to be reporting. Maybe y'all didn't have the right party! Most people don't put a paladin in the group and that's a mistake for this one.
You need to turn the hordes of undead in here and the cleric can't always handle them all. It also allows for healing that you wouldn't normally have, at least for some of the less injured people.
Right Click and select properties and under compatability tab select Windows XP. Apply and Ok You also have to mount CD2 on the same virtual drive that you used to install it with.
In other words when you used either Daemon lite or Wincemu you mounted CD1 and then ran the setup and then you mounted CD2. So now you have to run that same program you used and mount CD2 from to that same virtual drive. But if you encounter them somehow or you encountered unable to find tags.
Have Fun Everyone!!! Dean -1 point Windows version. Forget all this REG edit stuff and Autorun. Definitive guide works with latest Windows 10 patches on a basic laptop as of Nov : - Discs like old CD-ROM games are usually backed up as "iso" files.
Windows can run "iso" files just like running a CD. Windows can't read these. But MYTH comes as a "bin" file Get a converter. EXE to click on!!! This guide only covers how to get the installer going. Any issues after that, I can't help. Desperate 0 point Windows version. I've been trying to get this to work for days now. I loved this game so much when I was younger. I'm a novice with this stuff so if someone could make a step-by-step guide I would be forever grateful.
I'm using Windows I'm not sure if I'm mapping the installed files correctly and I'm to the point where it's giving me the "Unable to find the tags. Please reinstall Myth: The Fallen Lords! I've tried the remedies posted in the comments with no success. Dean 0 point.
There is entirely too much to read here. Can someone please make a bullet point by bullet point install guide for this game? I don't understand terms like mount the bin file. Fixer 3 points Windows version. For those who can't even install this game and asking where is the setup. This game uses autorun and can't be installed without that so there is no setup.
It should open up a pop up screen when you mount the bin or cue file and you need to click to install there. If you can't get to that screen like I were you need to open control panel then hardware and sound and then autoplay there you need to set softwares and games to run and install. But for some reason I didn't had this option also if you don't have this option for some reason you can do what I did. You need to edit the registry keys. Normally it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing but if all else fails you need to just change one number and it is completely safe.
Don't forget to change it back when you are done. It just enables or disables autorun as its name suggests but you would not want it to stay enabled because it will autorun every cd iso etc and its a security risk if you use files from unknown resources. Have a good day and I hope you have fun with this game!!! Thank you for this game.
Works fine for windows Just follow the instructions how to install it. No need for me to use compatibility mode. I just use the launcher as suggested.
