General Myth III Questions

What is Myth III?

Myth III: The Wolf Age is the third iteration of the Myth franchise, a real-time strategy (RTS) series of titles focusing on a fantasty world filled with demons, dwarves, monsters and other assorted beings. The game features a lengthy single player campaign mode (with storyline arc) and multiplayer gaming. If you're interested in learning more, our Introduction to the Myth series may be of some interest.

When will Myth III be available for purchase? In Europe? What about a Mac version?

Myth III hit stores on October 31st across North America. European dates are scheduled for "a few weeks" afterwards. Here's a post copied from MythWolfAge.Com:

According to Take 2, the game should actually be in stores on the Tuesday the 30th (in the US). It may be in some stores on the 29th, so...call the store that you usually go to on the 29th. They may have it. If they don't, call other stores. Don't let them try to tell you that they have "Myst III." That's not the one you want.

The European version has gone off for duplication, but I have absolutely no idea what the ship and store dates are for those versions. Thus far, we have integrated localization for French, German, Italian and Spanish.

The Mac version should be out within 2 to 3 weeks of the PC version. I know that won't be a happy-making thing for you Mac users out there, but that is pretty much out of our hands. The folks at MacSoft are pounding away trying to break the game as I write, so they are on the ball. If you wish to purchase Myth III, simply click on the Myth III: The Wolf Age box cover (to the left) or buy it online here.

I don't like buying games sight-unseen. Is there a demo available?

Yes! A multi player demo for play-testing is now available. The demo supports multiplayer gaming, but does weigh in at 64 MB. Further information is available on our Files page.

What are the system specifications required to run Myth III?

Processor: 400 MHz CPU
Operating System: Win 9x/2000/ME
RAM: 64 MB RAM
Sound: DirectX compatible
Video: OpenGL compatible Rage Pro, Voodoo 2, TNT (or equivalent) with 6 MB of memory or a hardware acceleration card

Will the game run on Windows XP?

Archers, particularly, can take advantage of this fact to obtain battlefield superiority." aFactoids(2) = "Myth III is a prequel. Myth III: The Wolf Age actually takes place roughly 1,000 years before the previous two titles. The game is now set in 1421 AE (it still takes place in a fantasy world)." aFactoids(3) = "Mac fans can celebrate. True to the series, Myth III: The Wolf Age is planned for release on both the PC and Mac, with the latter to follow a couple of weeks behind the former, according to the publisher." aFactoids(4) = "25 single player levels are included. In a recent interview, MumboJumbo's Mike Donges indicated that one can expect 20 or 30 hours of gameplay from the Myth III single player game alone, with multi-player adding significantly to this." aFactoids(5) = "Units galore. Myth III: The Wolf Age adds and refines numerous units, now bringing the total count to over 40. Enjoy most of the classic units alongside new additions such as the Gower Hearthguard and the Smiths of Muirthemne." aFactoids(6) = "Brute force vs. solid tactics? Myth III: The Wolf Age makes a conscious effort to improve the tactical value of intelligently using appropriate units against suitable enemies." aFactoids(7) = "One, two, three...
