Online games based on Eastern lore aren’t too many, and from the top of our heads, we can enumerate old games like Tantra and RAN online (which isn’t exactly based on stories of yore). Weapons of Mythology - New Age, changes this: it’s a game set in Chinese mythology, …show more content…

The different character types include: Vajra, Solar, Mist, Ascension, and Lotus. Each of these classes have unique skills and capabilities. One thing they lack though, is variety. Three of these use swords: one is a dual wielder, the other a greatsword user, while another uses a short yet broad sword. There is only one ranged class, which uses a bow and arrow, and the last class uses a …show more content…

Regardless, it doesn’t get in the way of the entire experience, but it can be off-putting to see scantily-dressed girls with bunny ears teaching you the basics of the game during the tutorial. In any case, it does an excellent job in making you learn the combat mechanics, skill usage, and its other intricacies, given you’ll be magically transported into a tutorial dungeon. There is a steep learning curve that you’ll need to go through, but you won’t find any problems doing so.

In terms of presentation, Weapons of Mythology - New Age exceeds expectations. It is incredibly attractive and pleasing to look at, and is arguably one of the top free to play MMORPGs from a graphics standpoint. This might be due to it being built with the Unity 3D Engine. The game’s landscapes are picturesque and different. Although it barely shows any sort of realism, we can safely say it is as geographically varied as China.

Considering that it is an MMO, it’s best played with friends. By creating a guild, you’ll be able to participate in gut-wrenching boss fights to gain rare loot, and territorial battles to decide which guild deserves to be on top. Apart from this, you’re also able to bring in a combat pet to help you gather loot and fight with you - its presence may be the game changer in a closely contested guild

Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths, a novel by Bernard Evslin, retells short stories of the most famous gods and monsters of Greek Mythology. Evslin creates a simplistic way for the reader to understand more about these myths, through short story telling. Each god and monster is given their own chapter, and are explained thoroughly, but simplistically to help the reader understand these stories better. Evslin’s method of storytelling was effective and the way each story connected made it an easy and enjoyable read. I found it helpful that each piece was told through a maximum of about six pages.

One of the most effective military formations in ancient warfare was the Greek Phalanx. A phalanx is a formation in which soldiers line up in close order to each other, locking their shields together to make a human wall. Then the formation would march towards their adversaries until they got close proximity and then charge to a quicker pace before rushing their opposition. All while they would also have their spears projected out between their shields. The Greeks used the principles of war mass and maneuver.

In ancient Greece religion was an important facet of everyday life as well as an essential aspect of warfare and battle. Soldiers in ancient Greece frequently sought support from the deities to ensure a safe and conclusive victory through ritual sacrifice. Sometimes warriors even had to sacrifice multiple times to ensure support, even if this meant postponing battle. Religion did not only dictate the time in which one could begin a battle, but times in which battles could not be fought at all, that is during festivals and religious games. Religion also dictated spaces in which battles could not be fought, in holy sites such as temples, and spaces in which battles should be fought, something that could be decided through the interpretation of religious prophecies.
