CoD: Source of the 500 Poisons
by Ares of Creation
In the tradition of Myth-style Solos combat comes a map which incorperates striking new gameplay elements, yet still retains the old-school feel. Source of 500 poisons will challenge the way you think Solos map should be played.
Features include:
- Scene set by a story that took place in Myth's history, supplemented by all-new flavor texts for player and enemy units
- All-new artwork (win / loss screens) and appropriate pre-game graphics and music
- As far as I know, the most heavily scripted Solos map of all time! (I recently checked the "With Friends Like These" scripting and discovered, to my surprise, that it did not have as long a script as 500 Poisons)
- First multiple-world knot network on a Solos mapÉ yet at the same time a design of elegant simplicity
- Incorporates the most randomness ever on a Solos map. Over 40 possible games! (compare that with 6 on Shadow of the Mountain)É play it over and over again and it'll never be the same twice.
- In addition to Pure Skeelz Combat, several puzzles / traps are on this map that require you to solve a puzzle from clues provided in order to surviveÉ Hints section included in the readme gives you help if you're stuck.
- Absolutely amazing terrainÉ Stunningly realistic black chasms and mountain trails (Mesh by Clem, author of Morte Della Luna)
- Very high difficulty rangeÉ for those who like to Vid levels, there is ample opportunity to show off your skills by attacking enemy squads that were never meant to be fought (this ties in with the puzzle / trap thing mentioned earlier)
- Best of all to PC-users, this map has none of the platform-specific problems that plagued previous CoD maps.
This is the culmination of months of work and testing. I sincerely hope you like itÐ Have fun! Watch the included film and you may learn a thing or twoÉ

Because I forgot to credit Omac with his great win/loss artwork (it was added at the last moment) let me do so here: Thanks Omac! That little preview image on this page is from the win screenÉ good, ain't it? :)
And in the grand tradition of giving credit where credit is due, allow me to correct the readme: All voices on this map were uttered by Sinister Minister, I accidently credited Tino and El Bastard for voices that never appear on the map :)
