Koram announced that they have baked a new game based on the Greek mythology named Mythopolis.
I started playing the game today and my first impression is :
Is Mythopolis a new game or just Three Kingdom online with new clothes ?
The same game really ?
Just when starting the game you get to chose your zodiac sign (equal region in TKO), your city (which is the equivalent of the kingdom)
If we break down each city with there TKO kingdom we got |
Athen = Wei Sparta = Shu Troy = Wu |
The units are the same it just that the name has changed. |
Mytho |
TKO |
Oasis are the same except the unit defending are mystical creature instead of yellow turban |
Building are the same there name have changed and the tech tree is a little different. |
Mytho |
TKO |
The concept of placing your building is the same too. This list can goes on and on, it’s kind of normal since the game seem to be built on the same game engine. Let check what’s different for fun |
New and Improved – Top things that have changed compared to TKO
1- New interface
Mythopolis arrive with a brand new interface, easier to manage, faster access to yours heroes and less cluttered than the one from TKO.
2- New quest section
There a brand new quest section and its much easier to understand than the one from tko,
Quest are grouped in category and each category you can complete a group of quest from that category, they are even bonus when you complete a certain group of quest that let you can give a gift to your facebook friend. More information on that on the Mythopolis forum : Quest System
3-New heroes management
Instead of having to go the the unintuitive left menu for hero quest, you directly access all quest and feature related to the hero directly via your hero menu.
So the training labyrinth (tower of trial), the zodiac (faction map), stadium (arena) , meet your hero (previously in the governor house in tko) are all the same place so you won`t forget anything about heroes, how many times did I forget to meet my heroes for the extra xp.
4- They made a little cleanup
The messengers are gone, I’m not sure if we should be happy about it but it give the casual player more chance against hardcore player.
There no more daily quest, quiz, book of heroes and faction quest. Which is good for those who can’t log everyday, The one I really happy about is that they removed the book of heroes, it was really annoying having to go to your governor house get the name and paste it in the quest section every hours.
5- Facebook
They made a huge facebook integration, quests that ask you to invite your friend for bonus, gift for your friend when you complete a group of quest and ask your friend for help to accelerate your construction.
While the concept is great, something I actually felt that I was harassing my friend, even facebook blocked the games because I was posting too much stuff with it.

Other thing they left out
There seem to be no King of the hill, no emperor road and no escort guardian.
They are probably replaced by something else that we have yet to discover.
MYTHOPOLIS might be pretty much a Three Kingdoms online clone with a greek setting, but the new and improved interface, the cleanup might make the game worth it and give a new experience.
Did I miss anything in the new section ?
So what are you though about the change ?
