Looking good.The wallet is ready for the kick-off ( whenever that may be ).

Mythic and Monolith are entirely separate companies now,wasn’t Hel from Leo and Mythic ? Monolith took on MB:Pantheon from them and this is the follow up that can be played on its own or played against MB:P ? It’s just taken a long time to get here.

Mythic Battles Pantheon was originally a collaboration between Mythic Games and Monolith which was eventually acquired in whole by Monolith. This happened around the time that MB:P 1.0 was being fulfilled and delivered if I recall.  However Monolith have not been without their share of troubles of late.

That said I won’t deny a small amount of anticipation for Ragnarok, not least because in each game they tease the next one in the series. They always said they planned 3 Mythic Battles games and whilst Vikings are ok (not as cool as ancient greeks I hasten to add), I am curious to see where they might take the game next.

Greek sand Egyptians … those were the big mythic pantheons of ancient history.
In theory there’s the Romans as well.
And of course everyone loves vikings these days …

It will be interesting to see where this goes next.
However I feel that too much focus on the competitive aspect could lead them in the same trouble that Guildball had near its final season.

@limburger It was always designed for competitive play from the outset, however don’t think it will ever go the way of Guildball – it’s not going to retail so it’s not likely to ever have ongoing support beyond the kickstarter and the inevitable v1. 5 kickstarter

I hadn’t heard about half the things in MB:P before that kickstarter.
And I barely know anything beyond Thor and Loki from the Vikings.

As such I wouldn’t know how many gods and myths the Egyptians really had.
IIRC Stargate mined the Egyptian myths for quite a few names of their enemies.

Romans may be a re-skin of the Greeks, but I suspect that there’s enough wiggle room to make it unique.

@onlyonepinman they would have to do something retail related if they want to make it a competitive game, because those things need fresh blood to survive. I suspect the split between monolith/mythic and now the event has probably killed any momentum the game had as well, so they may have to re-think that aspect with Ragnarok.

I also wonder if forcing both games to be compatible is the way to go. There may be things that are so thematically unique to Ragnarok or MB:P that it would mean sacrificing the few things that would make it worth buying.
