Development continues on the new civilizations that will be added to Myth of Empires later this year. Today, we’re going to give you a look at the steel armor sets that will be released in the Greek civilization DLC.
In developing these highly iconic armor sets, our team has conducted detailed research into the design of each part. For instance, the design of the steel light armor set’s helmet is derived from the late 6th-century BCE Phrygian helmet, which itself imitated the forward-leaning felt hats shepherds of the Anatolian region would wear during the time period. This helmet has a long, forward-facing peak on its crown, with a large opening for the face to ensure vision remains unobstructed, and a protrusion above the eyes to protect them from the sun. This helmet fits tightly on its wearer’s head and offers openings for the ears.
In addition, the design of the chest and leg armor draws inspiration from various books and films. This process involved integrating overall material proportions, color combinations, and texture designs, all while seeking a balance between gameplay and realism. The resulting model effectively and accurately reproduces the original concept art.
The helmet of the heavy steel armor set is inspired by the distinct Corinthian helmet. Originating in the 7th-century BCE, this helmet features unique almond-shaped eye holes, a prominent nose guard, and large cheek pieces that help to cover the soldier’s entire face.
We used the same design methods in crafting the heavy armor that we used for the light armor. The completed heavy armor model is a faithful reproduction of the concept art.
The above armor sets have been carefully crafted with both visual impact and historical authenticity in mind. Their design retains Myth of Empires’ signature style, while also embodying the essential characteristics of Greek civilization.
Myth of Empires - Greece DLC is expected to launch around July this year, with a lot more exciting content to come. The Myth of Empires team sincerely invites all players to share their interesting ideas and suggestions in official communities and forums. We look forward to sharing more with you soon. Stay tuned!

Players can play these instruments as they wish, or even upload custom MIDI tracks to play.
Players who already own the game, including players who purchased the original Early Access version on Steam and players who purchased the International Vanguard Edition, will be able to play Myth of Empires V1.0 without any additional purchases, though they will need to manually claim the free Dongzhou map DLC. These players will receive a commemorative skin: Wu’an General’s Armor.
Watch the Myth of Empires V1.0 trailer:
Myth of Empires V1.0 brings players a whole new gaming experience. In addition to the map featured in the Early Access version of the game, V1.0 allows players to explore Dongzhou, an island map with a variety of new landforms to explore. V1.0 also introduces sea and air travel, allowing players to wage wars in innovative ways. The construction system has been expanded, as has the taming system; players will now be able to tame virtually any beast they find in-game. PVE gameplay has been expanded, new server options have been added, and modding is now possible, too.
Embark upon a new adventure on the free Dongzhou map
Behold the new Dongzhou map, which will be featured alongside the original map players experienced during Myth of Empires’ Early Access period. The new map is home to volcanoes, picturesque isles, sandy shores, ice floes, and bamboo forests. It also carries over the original map’s realistic day-night cycle, diverse ecosystems, and varied cultures of NPCs that have made the game such a hit among its devoted following.
Wage war by land, air, and sea
Myth of Empires V1.0 includes not only a large number of land-based vehicles of war such as siege wagons, ballistas, and catapults, it also adds gliders, giant sky lanterns, warships, and more. This opens up whole new domains to conquer and adds a wealth of new options to your burgeoning empire’s arsenal, but also makes combat more complex and challenging.
Build your empire from the ground up
Myth of Empires features a variety of structures made of wood, clay, stone, and metal. These include more than ten types of structures that can be transformed to meet your design needs. There are also different decorative items such as skins, lighting, and furniture to make you feel at home. Whether you want to build a modest farmhouse, a rustic town, or even a massive imperial city-state, Myth of Empires makes it possible.
A wealth of crafting recipes, with plenty of new additions
Myth of Empires features 1,300+ crafting recipes, covering everything from structures, tools, work benches, equipment, and weapons, to taming implements and culinary instruments. V1.0 features new animal-powered, semi-automated production and warfare equipment.
A menagerie of tameable beasts
Taming has always been one of the key features of Myth of Empires. In V1.0, animals now have new attributes that can be inherited and strengthened through breeding. In addition, Beast Lords can also be tamed to enhance your abilities in combat. Nearly all of the creatures in the world of Myth of Empires can be tamed to fight alongside you in battle, for transport, or to help you with resource collection and production.
Large-scale cross-server battles
Myth of Empires’ unique system of administrative regions such as counties and commanderies gives the game an epic feel. Through cross-server battles and large-scale battlefields like County Battles, Prefecture Battles, and Fortress Battles, players expand their territory, hoping to etch their empire’s name in the annals of history. In the future, new Season Servers will be launched to provide an even richer variety and wealth of battlefields to the game.
More PVE gameplay
V1.0 enriches the game’s PVE content with classic musical instruments to play, as well as servants who can dance for you. You can also simulate massive battles with new PVE siege training and bandit raids, collect free skins as you play the game, and accumulate proficiency bonuses, even from the game’s lobby.
More events
To celebrate the launch of V1.0 as well as the upcoming Lantern Festival, we will be holding a Lantern Festival event in-game with rewards for players to collect.
New personal server modes
In addition to official servers, Myth of Empires V1.0 also includes five personal server modes. These include solo mode, LAN, and online servers, featuring single servers and even server clusters. Players will be able to enjoy the game however they want. In addition to the Asian, North American, and European servers available in the Early Access version of the game, we are also adding official servers in the Oceania and South America regions, bringing everyone a smooth gaming experience.
A robust mod editor
Myth of Empires V1.0 features a mod editor. The possibilities are now endless! All modders are welcome.
Future development plans: additional civilizations!
New civilizations are coming, Persian, Greek, and Egyptian civilizations, with all of the new structures, weapons, tools, and equipment that entails.
The V1.0 release marks the beginning of a new era for Myth of Empires. Whether you are a fan of sandbox games, medieval-style combat games, or simply love building structures, taming animals, and exploring dangerous yet exciting worlds, Myth of Empires is the game for you!

Anti-Cheat Measures Upgrade
Myth of Empires will adopt a new set of Anti-Cheat measures. It will be both effective on official servers and dedicated servers that opened the Anti-Cheat switch. We will take a 0 tolerance policy against all cheaters and hackers.
We understand that cheating has a serious impact on the fairness of the game and the user experience, so we have been working hard to strengthen anti-cheating measures. The anti-cheat program will provide us with more efficient and accurate cheating detection and blocking tools. At the same time, we will also strengthen the manual review mechanism to ensure that all ban decisions are confirmed by rigorous review.
Under the new anti-cheating system, we will strictly crack down on any form of cheating, including but not limited to plug-ins, cheaters, malicious cracking, and so on. Once the above cheating behavior is found, we will immediately take measures to block the offending user, and they will be added to the Steam platform VAC ban list, banned players will not be able to access the official server, custom server, and single/host mode.
We believe that only by safeguarding the fairness and healthy development of the game can players truly enjoy the game.
At the same time, we will update the game fair play announcement after the V1.0 update, at which time you can have a look at the game client.
