After a long wait, The Great War is finally released, sort of. The web site is gone, but let's see if I can remember the original idea: TGW was supposed to take place sometime after Balor is first seen, and sometime before the events in TFL; and this project was boasting a few new units and 8 solo levels. The TGW campaign was announced over two years ago, by the way. However, since then, the mapmaking group, Cartographers of Myth, have disbanded; and their websites have disappeared. TGW was never finished. In fact, the last incarnation of TGW is dated January 28th of this year; and that is what is available for download over at MythMaps. Almost completed, the release version of TGW has 7 levels (2 of which don't run correctly, but were added to show you what the COM had in mind). Here is the description of what you're getting:
After too many years in production/sitting around to count, the few guys from the Cartographers of Myth who still pay attention are proud to give you Myth: The Great War beta 7.Myth: TGW has 7 solo levels set prior to Myth: The Fallen Lords when the Dark made its push into the Province.It should be noted that even though this is beta 7, it will be the final release unless something completely unexpected happens. As a beta, only 5 of the levels are "finished", however the other 2 are also included for you to see what we had in mind. Also note that some of the levels lack pregames and/or postgames. Most important however is that level 1 has a PC crash bug roughly 1/2 of the way through it (on Macs there are no stability issues). Level 1 is still a recommended play to PC users who can accept not finishing the level because it is one of the better ones.I think that's about it. If you don't see any TGW maps when you click "New Game", be sure to hold down the space bar as you click it and then scroll down to the bottom of the list. The TGW maps themselves are in order from top to bottom, they are just located beneath all of the Myth 2 maps.Consult the readme for more information, and have fun.
I just finished playing this myself. Loads of fun, so go get it already!
