The Tain

REVIEW: All Flash, No Substance

• Like the other Gladiators series plugins as well, this map has absolutely no kind of unit, attack, or damage balance present.
• Some units and attacks are incredibly OP (like some attacks instantly removes all your kills or puts your health to red), while others seem gimped.
• No feeling of progression because you're getting a constant stream of enemies nonstop with no differential between them. Great maps have an ebb and flow.
• Way too many enemies all the time constantly. No idea knowing which ones are more powerful and should be a priority because they all look like bosses. When everything is special, none of them are special.
• Powerups all over the place which make them not feel unique
• WAY too many Beholders and Wraiths. Being constantly stoned or devetted isn't challenging when there's 900 of them; it's a cheap cop out way to make the player lose.

And finally, last but not least: - No plugin optimization.....AT ALL. This is easily the most bloated single map plugin I've ever seen, coming in at a whopping 1.28 GIGS. There are no plugins that even come close to this size including entire tagsets and total conversions. That's because the units and attack collections are grossly over-rendered, causing the Myth engine itself to basically chug maximum resources. It's scary in 2018 when a Myth plugin causes your computer and graphic card's fans to rev up; I've heard multiple people bring this up, with game freezes also due to it.

It's a shame, because given proper time, attention, and corrections, this plugin and those previous iterations could have been amazing creations with loads of replay-ability.

hey continue, don't let yourself be shaken by these people who only know how to make destructive criticisms, I support your plugin, what matters is the dedication, the effort, the time spent, all this to do for free, just for the love of myth, art, imagination and wanting people and you to have fun, that's what matters to me!!! No one is born knowing how to deal with loathing or fear, or whatever program they are using, while there are people who only know how to discourage, I will do the opposite, I will encourage them.
