- Myth: Antologia is a re-release of Myth: The Total Codex but with Myth III: The Wolf Age and it's own strategy guide also included and sold exclusively for the Polish market.
Essential improvements
Official patch
- The latest official patch is version 1.3, available from Patches-Scrolls.
Project Magma patch
- Adds OpenGL rendering and improves compatibility as well as add OS X support for Mac. Can be downloaded here.
- This patch also removes the game's DRM; copy
cutscenes.gor
off the disk into thetags
folder in the game's install directory to have cutscenes play without the disc inserted.
Melekor's TFL Launcher
A workaround for the game's memory bug, necessary for running on systems with more than 1 GB RAM. Can be downloaded here. Only needed if using official patch 1.3.
Myth: The Fallen Levels
- Brings Myth: The Fallen Lords content to Myth II: Soulblighter. The TFL Gameplay option in the new game menu needs to be set or the game will use Myth II's regular game balancing.
- Singleplayer levels are available here and multiplayer here.
