Bushido: The Way of the Warrior is a third-party plug-in for Myth II: Soulblighter. Based on feudal warfare in medieval Japan and the rich tapestry of myth and legend of that period, it provides a new set of mortals, monsters, and magic for Myth II games. Obviously, the inclusion of prominent fantasy elements means that Bushido is not meant to reflect complete historical accuracy. Rather, it is intended to provide fun and immersive Myth II gameplay in the style and flavor of Japanese legend.
After looking at the other Maps to be released with Bushido I though maybe there needed to be a complete alternative both in strategy & layout. This is what resulted.
My intentions were to give players the "Open battlefield" & Arena feel that they seem to like about Killing Grounds other maps. I gave it some height advantages around the sunken hill also, but most of all I gave it what I think is some of our most unique ambience ever in a map.
The inside is a basic stone Arena... the outside is designed to represent a somewhat greener oriental garden, complete with Flowering Cherry trees & some ornamental trees resembling large Bonsai.
I am very happy with it, players (as with most of my maps) seem to either love it or hate it!
To me its a varient on the standard, to some it's OMG, U IZ RIPPOFF OF PRUVIN GROWNDS!!!!!
whatever....
