Hop onto the DongZhou map, new to the game and ready to officially launch with version 1.0. The map introduces the sea, the ability to build ships, explore the islets, and volcanoes, and offers several ways to get around.

As a multiplayer survival game, the world features dangers and also resources. It's your job to decide how you want to play, and the game does emphasize freedom.There are enemies, including a boss to encounter on the new map, but it’s up to you how you spend your time. Maybe you want to build fortresses, raise and lead armies, and siege and capture other cities to build your own empire. Or maybe you want to tame animals, explore the world, build a community, and play more peacefully with others. It’s up to you. 

The playtest will offer everyone the chance to get a feel for Myth of Empires and its various systems. Survival and war game fans may have the easiest time getting up to speed, but theAngela Game team intends to have lots to choose from.
