This is currently in b2, its only about a third scripted, but I wanted to get some approval of some story "modifications" I made...
Remember the opening cutscene of Myth: TFL?
Remember the battle in the temple with the Myrmidon; running down the aquaduct with wooden slats overhead, the enounter with the ghols and then running out into the desert to meet up with Alric in the camp?
Well, now you can play through this scenario!
The preliminary colormap is done and scripting is about a third complete... Soon we're going to go on a publishing spree with this, shadows, deceiver, ashes (a level I havent told y'all about yet) and some netmaps ;)
Anywho... Here's some of the potentially controvertial things
1.) There are a lot of ghosts, mostly Heron Guard ghosts, that can help you by creating diversions, healing you, and even fighting to protect you
2.) The battle in the temple is heavily changed... Instead of just one myrmidon, there is a new unit the "Thane of the Kithless" who has hordes of Myrmidons in tow. You get cut by huge myrmidon armies that drive you into the temple. When you enter,m you turn comp-controlled. The Thane enters and the rest of the Myrmidons surround you. Truan makes a speech and you gain control of him. You have to use his special ability attack and even then Truan only barely wins (he then gets healed)... the myrmidons all charge but you get saved by HG ghosts.
Thane flavor:
"...He had been the mightiest of his clan, but his thirst for blood and black heart eventually drove him to murder, and so he was banished from his clan and became the first to join Balor."
He looks very cool, dont worry... I edited it so much for gameplay, its an intense rush to have ALL those myrmidons plus the mysterious dark red Thane running around and cutting you off everywhere, and the battle is also quit cool.
Now I realize this doesnt exactly fit with the cutscene... but it's loosely based on it. The aqauduct with the wooden slats overhead, btw, looks awesome.
Beta in a week.

PS Shadows of the Sword Age is a referance to Ceiscoran, who died at the start of the Sword Age... Whispers of the Wind Age is a referance to The Head, and if he WAS moagim, his decaptiation heralded the start of the Wind Age...
