Terrain: This is a swamp map with lots of high hills. It is rather small. There are 5 starting locatnios, 4 in the corners and 1 in the middle. All map is surrounded my unaccesable hills. Thats why soulless rule on this map. There is a small hill in the middle which is surrounded by other hills which are also a great place to put soulless. It usually rains on this map so dont take any dwarves here.
Games Available : Body Count, Steal the Bacon, Last Man on the Hill, Scavenger Hunt, Flag Rally, Territories, Captures Most Popular : Steal The Bacon Hints for Body Count: Well, I dont play this game too often on this map. The trading is almost the same for all players so only good playing can help you win. You also need lots of luck. It is good to place your fetch on the hills, try to kill some enemies with a trow. The biggest strategy, especially when playing 1 on 1 is to fight well. Yes! It is also better to take the hill first and setup a defence there. During the fight you need to engage all your units into combat and kill enemy trows first.
Hints for Steal The Bacon:
This is my favourite game. It suits perfect to the map. The goal is to get max soulless and few melee. Only that way you can win. As in many STB games you shouldnīt engage your soulless too fast. They are the key to the success.

If you want to win a game on this map this is a definite must read. This strategy worked every time befeore the enemies started to use it. So here is the trading:
Trow = 2
Soulless = 14
Yes, thatīs all. No zerks no myrms. Just soulless. It is usually better to start in a corner, but if you start in the middle itīs still ok. First I will show how to win when you start in a corner.
As soon as the game starts move your soulless the hill around the map. Dont put them too high cause they will run away! People loose many games because of disapearing soulless. Now you can do 2 things. You can camp, I mean wait for a minute or two and let enemies do stg with the ball. If you can move the ball very well you can try to bring it to your soulless. You will usually fail, cause the ball will get stuck on a hill, there are too many hills around the middle. What you have to do is to kill as many enemy soulles and fetch as possible making trow raids. If you are sure that you have more ranged firepower than the enemy you can move your soulless close to the ball so that meelee units cant attack you. They will just run around and get killed. Once my soulless killed a trow and 4 zerks this way. Remember that enemy meelee units cant reach you. You should direct your soullessī fire at fetch and enemy soulless. This strategy also works on captures. It is really good, per 20 STB games I lost 1.
Here is a way of winning when you start in the middle. It is very difficult when you have more than 2 opponents. You can do 2 things again. The 1st one is moving the ball south or north to one of the big hills. It usually better to move it where there are fewer enemies (you can hear their trows in the beginning, they are very noisy). The 2nd thing you can do is moving the ball as far away as possible with a trow. If it gets stuck, use a soulless. Move the other soulless to a hill as far from the ball as possible and secure them with at least one trow. The anamy should arrive now. And again, your primary target is to kill as many long ranged units as possible. The rest goes as above...
Well, this strategy is one of the most destructive ones in Myth. It really works especially against newbies, but crowns can also get killed very easily. Try it and feel it yourself...
