Dear players,

Development continues on the new civilizations that will be added to Myth of Empires later this year. Today, we’re going to give you a look at the steel armor sets that will be released in the Greek civilization DLC.

In developing these highly iconic armor sets, our team has conducted detailed research into the design of each part. For instance, the design of the steel light armor set’s helmet is derived from the late 6th-century BCE Phrygian helmet, which itself imitated the forward-leaning felt hats shepherds of the Anatolian region would wear during the time period. This helmet has a long, forward-facing peak on its crown, with a large opening for the face to ensure vision remains unobstructed, and a protrusion above the eyes to protect them from the sun. This helmet fits tightly on its wearer’s head and offers openings for the ears.

In addition, the design of the chest and leg armor draws inspiration from various books and films. This process involved integrating overall material proportions, color combinations, and texture designs, all while seeking a balance between gameplay and realism. The resulting model effectively and accurately reproduces the original concept art.

The helmet of the heavy steel armor set is inspired by the distinct Corinthian helmet. Originating in the 7th-century BCE, this helmet features unique almond-shaped eye holes, a prominent nose guard, and large cheek pieces that help to cover the soldier’s entire face.

We used the same design methods in crafting the heavy armor that we used for the light armor. The completed heavy armor model is a faithful reproduction of the concept art.

The above armor sets have been carefully crafted with both visual impact and historical authenticity in mind. Their design retains Myth of Empires’ signature style, while also embodying the essential characteristics of Greek civilization.

Myth of Empires - Greece DLC is expected to launch around July this year, with a lot more exciting content to come. The Myth of Empires team sincerely invites all players to share their interesting ideas and suggestions in official communities and forums. We look forward to sharing more with you soon. Stay tuned!
