Likewise your soldiers can be large hulking creatures moving on the screen instead of the button sized units most people have become accustomed to. The terrain also has a massive effect on gameplay. Steep hills and cliffs can slow or even prevent units from traversing them. For example position troops on high ground and they have a much better range while troops battling uphill face a much more difficult task. I should probably jump back a bit and give you a quick plot overview of Myth so here goes.
Myth takes place in a fantasy world of knights and zombies.
You command the Armies of the North and face the daunting task of fighting back the onslaught of a vast army of the undead. You'll face all sorts of evil creatures from mindless zombies to huge giants. Making up your army is a collection of archers, dwarves, knights and other human like soldiers. There, quick and dirty story line for you. The graphics in Myth are top notch.
