This do be Xzzy's first attempt at a publicly offered Myth II map. 
Xzzy believes there's some errors (mostly design related), but he
blames most of it on the fact he's new, and promises to do better
next time. :)

It's finally final. This means the only way you'll see another 
version is if something turns up broke.

I started work on "a" mesh sometime in mid February, and it turned
into what you've just downloaded by late June. A lot of that time 
was spent figuring out the details of mapmaking.. both artistically 
and mechanically. Let's hope all that time means I learned 
something...

The light mesh is an exploration of trying to limit the overpoweringness
(is that a word?) of artillery, like we see in most existing 
netplay maps. Archers are very few. Dwarves are pretty rare, too.

See, MythII seems to have a much more "flash bang" feel to it than TFL
did. This is a widely lamented fact, especially amongst some of Myth's
more senior players. Though it wasn't an original intent, over time,
the mesh has become an attempt to bring some of the 'TFL' into MythII.

I really hope I've accomplished some of that.

The mesh itself is also an attempt at assymetry at it's most annoying.
Games like flag rally and captures present some unevenness in play 
that was fully intentional; not all flags are equidistant from other 
flags. This is intended, whether people like it, or not. :) Player 
starts are neither all equal.. though special caution was taken to 
assure all starts are equal in a KOTH game.

Xzzy takes full credit for any groans of dismay you may encounter
while playing 'Hunting' on either mesh.

ClumPhix5 has been built into this plugin. All credits and rights to it
belong to Sliver, and they are included here without any modification by
Xzzy.

http://mill.bungie.org

The port from Myth:TFL to Myth:SB was done by Malory. 

Colophon:
---------

Photoshop was used for the texturemap, and darned near everything
    else, too. 
Fear & Loathing, Bungie's tools, were used to make the mesh and
    handle some minor unit tweaks.
Jade was used to make the overhead map and both pregame images.
Topaz was used to cruelly dissect existing plugins so I could see
    how they were built.. a great learning resource.
Fonts used in the pregame images were 'Impact,' and 'Times.'
