Myth of Empires V1.0 brings players a whole new gaming experience. In addition to the map featured in the Early Access version of the game, V1.0 allows players to explore Dongzhou, an island map with a variety of new landforms to explore. V1.0 also introduces sea and air travel, allowing players to wage wars in innovative ways. The construction system has been expanded, as has the taming system; players will now be able to tame virtually any beast they find in-game. PVE gameplay has been expanded, new server options have been added, and modding is now possible, too.
Embark upon a new adventure on the free Dongzhou map
Behold the new Dongzhou map, which will be featured alongside the original map players experienced during Myth of Empires’ Early Access period. The new map is home to volcanoes, picturesque isles, sandy shores, ice floes, and bamboo forests. It also carries over the original map’s realistic day-night cycle, diverse ecosystems, and varied cultures of NPCs that have made the game such a hit among its devoted following.
Wage war by land, air, and sea
Myth of Empires V1.0 includes not only a large number of land-based vehicles of war such as siege wagons, ballistas, and catapults, it also adds gliders, giant sky lanterns, warships, and more. This opens up whole new domains to conquer and adds a wealth of new options to your burgeoning empire’s arsenal, but also makes combat more complex and challenging.
Build your empire from the ground up
Myth of Empires features a variety of structures made of wood, clay, stone, and metal. These include more than ten types of structures that can be transformed to meet your design needs. There are also different decorative items such as skins, lighting, and furniture to make you feel at home. Whether you want to build a modest farmhouse, a rustic town, or even a massive imperial city-state, Myth of Empires makes it possible.
A wealth of crafting recipes, with plenty of new additions
Myth of Empires features 1,300+ crafting recipes, covering everything from structures, tools, work benches, equipment, and weapons, to taming implements and culinary instruments. V1.0 features new animal-powered, semi-automated production and warfare equipment.
A menagerie of tameable beasts
Taming has always been one of the key features of Myth of Empires. In V1.0, animals now have new attributes that can be inherited and strengthened through breeding. In addition, Beast Lords can also be tamed to enhance your abilities in combat. Nearly all of the creatures in the world of Myth of Empires can be tamed to fight alongside you in battle, for transport, or to help you with resource collection and production.
Large-scale cross-server battles
Myth of Empires’ unique system of administrative regions such as counties and commanderies gives the game an epic feel. Through cross-server battles and large-scale battlefields like County Battles, Prefecture Battles, and Fortress Battles, players expand their territory, hoping to etch their empire’s name in the annals of history. In the future, new Season Servers will be launched to provide an even richer variety and wealth of battlefields to the game.
More PVE gameplay
V1.0 enriches the game’s PVE content with classic musical instruments to play, as well as servants who can dance for you. You can also simulate massive battles with new PVE siege training and bandit raids, collect free skins as you play the game, and accumulate proficiency bonuses, even from the game’s lobby.
More events
To celebrate the launch of V1.0 as well as the upcoming Lantern Festival, we will be holding a Lantern Festival event in-game with rewards for players to collect.
New personal server modes
In addition to official servers, Myth of Empires V1.0 also includes five personal server modes. These include solo mode, LAN, and online servers, featuring single servers and even server clusters. Players will be able to enjoy the game however they want. In addition to the Asian, North American, and European servers available in the Early Access version of the game, we are also adding official servers in the Oceania and South America regions, bringing everyone a smooth gaming experience.
