Myth TFL/Myth II Soulblighter

It's apparently one of those "sorcery" games, like WOW, LOL, and all the rest of that crap. Garbage, imo. Do I sound biased?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/shattered-paradise

Shattered Paradise is an expansion for Tiberian Sun on OpenRA, it's goal is to (im)balance the game by adding new factions (Mutants, C.A.B.A.L. and Scrin) and reworking the original sides, all of this to create a game a little more varied and balanced than TS. The mod puts a lot of emphasis on making the factions as asymmetric as possible.

If you liked the C&C games, you'll love this free remake of Tiberian Sun.

Otherwise, it depends on how you define modern games, although my most played games are 8 to 12 years old. Civ6 is newer, but the original dates back to the 90s. Yes, it has that "climate change" bullshit, but mild amounts of that leftist/SJW poz can be useful to remind us of our enemies. On the DOTR, don't forget about the game corruptors.

It's nothing like WoW or LoL... Frankly, there's probably never been a game before or since that is like Myth.

Soulblighter is one of the most powerful of the Fallen Lords. Although not as well versed in magic as others such as the Deceiver or the Watcher,

It's literally a game about magic and monsters.

I'm not sure what a, "Sorcery," game is. Do you think D&D is like these games? It has a fantasy setting and sorcery spells!

You mentioned WoW and LoL as games you believe are like Myth--none of those games are anything alike.

WoW is a MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game).

LoL is a MOBA (massive online battle arena).

Myth is a RTT (real time tactical).

Not only do each of these games have totally different characters, stories and lore but, they have completely different types of gameplay.

A "Sorcery" game is a game that involves the use of sorcery or magic.

WoW is a MMORPG

Containing sorcery or magic.

LoL is a MOBA

Containing sorcery or magic.

Myth is a RTT

Containing sorcery or magic.

While there may be superficial differences. they all contain sorcery or magic.

So based on that logic, D&D is exactly like those games and MTG is as well. They both contain, "Sorcery or Magic" so they must be exactly the same! It doesn't matter that one is a table-top game, one a card game and the others video games--they're all exactly the same! LMFAO!

Exactly. All those games fall into the "Sorcery and/or Magic" category.
