World of Myths 
Save
Back to DustMay 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsWe fought, but the dragons won. 6 years ago, we answered the Daimyo's Call. We passed the Test of Faith and were accepted by the Chubby Stone-Eaters in the magical realm of the World of Myths. We started our World Wonder Project. Our Story was Retold by Shady Traders, Slimy Leprechauns, and some Sneaky Goblins. We entered the Dark House of Xibalba to seek the future and did the Desperate Ritual but it turned out we only broke the Cursed Seal. The Wolfsbane Drop was too strong. The Unexpected Support never came. The Sword of the Rebellion is shattered to pieces. Now we go Back to Dust... ----------------------------- Rebellious Software is shutting down. We tried to make things work. Really, really hard. We worked on many exciting projects that will never see daylight, and we are deeply saddened that our journey has to end. We will be forever grateful to all of you who joined us on our journey and always supported us. You are true friends for a lifetime. World of Myths servers will shut down on 27th May 2023. Join us for some last games on that day (EU nighttime). More details on discord. p.s. There is a chance that the game will continue as a passion project, free to play with no microtransactions, with new mythology, Slavic, in the making. No promise on the release date & time at this moment.Something is cookingSep 13, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsComing soon... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/9a35b38212e089fb530aa9017d345571cda725e8.pngWorld of Myths Crafting GuideJul 9, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWhat Should I Craft? In most CCGs, the tried-and-tested rule for crafting is to not waste your resources on anything other than the most expensive rarity of card. The reason for this is that lower rarity cards will be obtained by opening packs in time, and the resources gained from 'disenchanting' excess cards is far lower than the cost to craft, resulting in a net loss in that resource in the long term should you choose to craft commons, rares and epics from the start. For World of Myths, this guideline retains its value but there will come a time when one needs to consider the demands of the collection rather than the just the value of the timesand. You will want to divert from crafting only mythical cards, but I will leave that for a later article as it is not relevant to the starting player. The First Craft As a starting player, that first mythical craft needs to be a good one. One doesn't want to take all that time to collect 3500 timesand only to blow it on a card that seems good to fresh eyes but later turns out to be something of a dud. By the time you have saved up for the first mythical craft, you should already have opened a few mythical cards from your packs. Whether you have unlocked more than the starting 6 leaders is doubtful, however. Hopefully, you will already own several of the cards on the list below, but chances are that at least half of those you have "lucked into" are either relatively weak or cannot be used to their full potential by your collection at this time. The cards on the list are geared more towards the starting collection and leaders rather than only considering card power. You want cards you can use from the start with the aim of gaining packs and timesand faster due to the power upgrades they bring. A good example of a card not on the list would be the Egyptian card Ramesses, the Great. This card is a staple in Osiris decks, so you will want it at some point. However, Osiris is not a starting leader, and there are many cards of lower rarity that are far more critical to the smooth operation of the deck strategy than its signature mythical. You should be looking to craft Ramesses only once you have a functional deck, rather than at the start when he will sit in your collection gathering dust. For 'want list' reasons he gets an 'honourable mention', however. Neutral Faction In my opinion, it is better to first craft vital cards that have broad applicability, as these will give a general power boost to many decks. The more strategy-specific mythical cards provide a higher power boost but find application in far fewer decks. It is natural therefore to examine the Neutral faction first, since these cards can be used in any deck. David, Bane of Giants. If there was ever a card that goes in every deck, this is it. David will always find a target, removing your opponent's most powerful threat (as long as it may be targeted) and leaving behind a body in your army to boot. David is useful at any stage of the game, taking...World of Myths - Starting OutJun 29, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsThe Beginner Player Every new player in World of Myths starts out with the same card and default deck collection and the same understanding of the game, as gained from the tutorial. The starting collection, while adequate, provides decks that have inherent weaknesses that players will discover for themselves in time and will learn to eliminate as they open more packs or take advantage of some of the excellent offers in the Store. The problem, as with everything, is that we all want it now - the new cards we get must all be good and obtaining them must immediately be followed by success in ranked play. It's rare that our reality matches such desires. This blog will try to help newer players by attempting to give good advice on understanding the game at its core, to build foundations solid enough that you will be able to trust your own instincts in future, regardless of the strength of your collection. This first article will cover the first decisions made in World of Myths, some tactical basics and will finish off with a discussion on how to use the Greek leader Poseidon as a means of building your collection. The Starting Collection Many people choose a starting Mythology based on its flavour or some particular affinity they may have for it, whether from historical works such as the Iliad or more modern works of fiction such as Percy Jackson. However, in World of Myths early progress is more likely to be influenced by one's card collection and the decks one can build with it. Each player starts the game with the same collection once the tutorial is done: 1 "default" deck per Mythology (referred to as a faction hereafter) and 2 copies of the card Siege Tactics, as well as 1 pack of 5 random cards. The 5 default decks have been posted under the "Decks" section on the unofficial deck builder website www.womdb.net by Inedyalkov. Understanding how to play each of these decks, and more importantly how to improve them, will be critical to the speed with which you progress from the start. I will deal with each in turn as this blog series progresses. General Strategy Basics There are many different strategies in World of Myths, but mastery of some will be more vital than others. I will introduce these slowly. For now, we need to understand only two major aspects of play: the leader and managing the centre temple. Pedestal Each leader except for the neutral Dyadko has an ability that uses the keyword "Pedestal". This means that the ability is only active when the leader is on the pedestal, an area on the right side of the screen where it cannot be attacked or damaged by the opponent but cannot participate in battle for you either. Entering the battlefield By spending 3 faith during your attack phase any time after the first turn your leader may enter the battlefield, moving from the pedestal to the left side of the screen. Here it can either attack enemy temples or leader (if also on the battlefield) or can defend your temples during your defence phase, bu...Why nurf, when you can buff?Jun 12, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsThis is the largest balance patch we have ever done. We wanted to give a better identity to each mythology and we are happy to say that we believe we achieved it! We are adding 2 new keywords - Spellmastery for Greek and Bloodthirst: Spellmastery - Does something the first time you play a spell (and this unit is on the board) Bloodthirst - Does something the first time it attacks We did a lot of small changes and updates (yes, shift-click on PC on the deckbuilder is part of that). We have changed the starting workflow, added option to play as a guest, and so on. But you are here for the balance changes so here they are: Enjoy! 1. Grave Scavenger Cost increased from 2 to 3 2.

Update 39 - 0.8.0.3Mar 27, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsAs some of you know, we have been focusing on the mobile release of the game. This is the main reason we've missed a week or two of updates. The current update contains: 1. Option to log in with Facebook and Google (If you use the same email for google, facebook and WoM, you will be able to login to your account with any of those providers) 2. Updated Quests. We have removed some daily quests and added new ones as we were still getting complaints about the quality of our quests system. We have also increased the rewards for the daily quests. You can now gain 350 or 500 gold, depending on the quest. 3. Added some visuals. 4. Greatly reduced game size. 5. Changed the way you interact in the deckbuilder - Card details are opened with Left Mouse Click instead of Right Mouse Click. - Clicking on a card will no longer add it to the deck. You will have to drag the card to the deck area.The Power of a Medjay - Weekly Challenge #6Mar 16, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWho can have the strongest Medjay die and have the buffs land on either their fresh recruit or a 3 cost priest?

The Strongest Temple - Weekly Challenge #4Feb 21, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWeekly Challenge #4 Who can build the strongest temples??? Who can build the most health across all three friendly temples faster than other participating players? The winner will be determined by whoever can have the most health of each friendly temple combined in the shortest amount of time. The total health is calculated by adding the health of each friendly temple (Left temple + Center temple + Right Temple). If one temple is destroyed, that temple’s health is 0. The “shortest amount of time” is determined by the amount of maximum faith you have OR by the number of cards left in your deck AND your opponent’s deck. Example: The player who has 50 health across all 3 friendly temples but only has a maximum of 7 faith (turn 5) will beat the player who has 50 health across all 3 friendly temples but has a maximum of 10 faith. Example: Two players each submit an entry. Both entries have 50 health across all 3 friendly temples and both players have a maximum of 10 faith. Player 1 has 10 cards left in their deck and Player 1’s opponent has 11 cards left in their deck giving a total of 21 cards. Player 2 has 0 cards left in their deck and Player 2’s opponent has 3 cards in their deck giving a total of 3 cards. In this example, player 1 would beat player 2 because player 1 has the most number of cards left in the decks. 1 Winner will get a code for 5 packs and 500 diamonds.

Red was all she could see. Crimson ribbons poured out from the chest of her beloved, making a scarlet puddle on the floor beneath him. Aseneth let out a terrified scream as she watched the life leave his eyes. The young prince fell lifelessly to the ground, his face still distorted in defiance of the act. The killer now turned his attention to the frightened girl against the wall. He stalked towards Aseneth menacingly, blade dripping with the prince’s lifeblood in his right hand. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/73afb06f2a592228c70d2cefec436befbe86878f.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/ac9fb1ba364614bab74c3cf7adeb0e5ba3362a46.png As he approached, she drew up her courage and stood up, back against the wall. “How…..how could you do that to your own brother?!” She knew she was dead, so she at least hoped to get answers before she made her journey to Duat. But the killer didn’t oblige her with an answer. He didn’t owe her anything. He didn’t even acknowledge that she said anything. He plunged the same dagger he had used to kill his brother a moment prior, into her stomach. Her eyes went wide as she spit up even more red. She was then pushed to the floor where red now pooled at her side as red faded to dark. Black. Black was all she could see. A dark nothingness was all she now knew. Shades moved on the black background, in and out of view. One of the shades moved closer, finally taking shape into a humanoid form. The figure was shrouded and the face was obscured by a mask. “The Goddess Isis and the Goddess Nephthys welcome you, daughter of the temple. While your life has ended, your journey is just starting.” Aseneth looked puzzled at the statement. “What? Who are you? Where am I?” She then began to panic. “Where is Abayomi?!” “Death is only the beginning.” The figure stated before vanishing back the way it came. And then it was quiet. Black and quiet. There didn’t even seem to be air around. It was complete nothingness again. She wanted to scream, she wanted to run, to escape, but her body didn’t respond to her commands. The silence went one for what seemed like an eternity. The emptiness finally broke, not by sound, but by light. A torchlight to be precise. The sound of footsteps followed the light as a figure took shape holding the torch. This figure was much clearer than the previous one. This was distinctly a male figure. A young male, younger than her, by several years, wearing princely regalia. Wait, not prince, Pharaoh regalia. When the boy approached, he smiled at her. “Welcome, Aseneth, daughter of the temple. I am Tutankhamun. I come bearing a warning. Love doesn’t dwell. You only have one chance. Death is only the beginning.” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/1efa7af15def0fc69e09da1a9a903baa43926b7a.png “What does that mean?” She asked, confused. But, the Pharaoh has only his smile to respond to her. He begins to fade the same as the last figure, except this time, instead of disappearing he morphed into a blob of shadow and darkness. The blob spl...Third Egypt Leader revealed - HorusJan 31, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsThe Pharaoh snuck inside the storeroom. He’d be the first to agree that sneaking wasn’t a particularly royal activity, but the priests weren’t around to mither, so he was resolved to indulge himself. He examined the room quietly. Sacks of grain were stacked against the walls and a tiny foot extended behind one of them. The Pharaoh moved towards it with cat-like grace, then leaped forward and grabbed the foot. His actions produced a high-pitched squeak, followed by joyous laughter. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/62582147c28934383d3760eaac043b567053de5b.png ‘Caught you!’ he grinned. A young child girl with thick dark hair appeared from behind the sack and threw herself on his neck like a monkey. ‘Settle down, Iset, ‘tis time to sleep,’ said Amenhotep the Third, as he lifted the girl on his shoulders and carried her out of the storeroom. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/2252669c4852c3fabad0b185645a340ca90dc130.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/436264545101e3f62a9597362ac8dd11d720e5d6.png ‘Story first! Story!’ she exclaimed. He smiled fatherly at her. ‘Which story would you like?’ ‘I want a new one!’ she replied with a sparkle in her eyes. ‘Then I shall tell you how young Horus defeated his evil uncle,’ the Pharaoh replied. They entered her chambers and he sat her down on a luxurious wooden bed inlaid with animal skin and palm leaves. ‘Storytime! Storytime!’ the girl exclaimed again. ‘Where should I start I wonder?’ he queried, scratching his chin with a puzzled expression. ‘At the beginning!’ she giggled. Iset pulled a blanket of palm leaves over herself, then looked at her father with all the anticipation in the world. ‘It begins with the Great Goddess Iset, whose name you bear. Back then, she had to hide from her evil brother Set in the swamps, for so remarkable was the hate he carried for her and her newborn son, Horus-‘ ‘That’s you!’ she declared happily. ‘Not just me, but every Pharaoh that’s been before and every Pharaoh that will be after. We are one with Horus in life and one with Osiris in death,’ he continued. ‘The Goddess Iset saw how Set neglected the Ennead and the famine and misery it brought to the land. She asked her sisters, Serqet and Neith, for help. They were to make young Horus wise and strong enough to reclaim the throne of Egypt from his uncle.’ ‘Did they help her?’ ‘They summoned seven sacred scorpions to protect the boy as he grew. Once he was wise and strong enough, he challenged his uncle before the Ennead, and all but one of them agreed that Horus was the rightful ruler. The supreme Ra claimed that Horus was too inexperienced and too young to rule.’ ‘But what about the famine and misery?’ she asked in wide-eyed disbelief. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/0d1dbe5a9fcf9618b9ec11e595ea53ef8f4d0942.png ‘We often fail to see what is right before us. Ra truly believed Horus was too young and he meant to test him. He asked them to fight and prove which deserves to reign over Egypt.’ ‘And Horus won, right, Father?’ asked the girl impatiently. Th...Second Egyptian Leader Reveal- OsirisJan 24, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsTiye woke up confused and attempted to sit in her bed in the dark room, only to find that it was not a bed she was lying in. As she climbed from the opened sarcophagus, memories of what had transpired in the past few days started returning to her – wine, festivities … sudden chest pain … the sound of screams … suffocating. Realization dawned, but the room did not get any brighter – she was dead and this was either the afterlife or her burial chamber. As she was waiting for her sight to adjust, the wall 10 feet in front of her, filled with hieroglyph images of people in the underworld being judged by the gods was illuminated by a surge of light. Tiye turned around in search of the light’s source and saw a circular gateway, glowing with such intensity that it hurt the eyes. On either side of it were breathing heavily giant lions, each unphased by the light, and each with their predatory stare intensely focused on her. Shortly, multiple figures emerged between the lion keepers and it took Tiye a few seconds to realize that it was a procession. Two columns of people with the regalia of priests slowly filled the edges of the room, forming a circle that surrounded her. Following this, two more people stepped out of the light – an imposing man, towering over everyone else and bearing the symbols of a high priest and a hunched-over mummy, its whole body wrapped in bandages, not showing an inch of skin. Then, the high priest spread his arms wide and his voice boomed across the chamber: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/5898f9f999565282aff02a717df723709b95ad3f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33928134/efb42f1969bcd1bc308b8dd924d79c189e7f4324.png “I welcome you, Tiye, Queen-Consort of Ramesses III, son of Ra, ruler of the Nile to the entrance of the Field of Reeds, Aaru.” Tiye took another look at her surroundings. This wasn’t so bad after all – the welcome committee seemed impressive enough for a woman of her lineage and status. She allowed herself to smile and the man who had spoken returned a smile of his own, which, for some reason made the recently deceased feel a shiver run down her spine. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak a single word, the procession leader’s continued speech drowned out all other sounds: “As a woman of the highest status, it cannot be expected of you to follow the path of your lessers.” The speaker waved his hand and focused Tiye’s attention to the shimmering light. Despite hurting her eyes, she could not avert her gaze from it, as the mere sight of it brought warm memories to her heart, banished all of her fears and made hope nest itself in every corner of her soul. “Beyond this is Mandjet, the boat of the great Amun-Ra, who will welcome you in his warm embrace, to share in his Light, to add yours to His and make the flames of eternity shine even brighter.” “That is of course after a judgment is passed upon your soul. As a woman of royalty and a close servant of the Pharaoh, you need not fear the wrath of Ammit. But you must still ...
