So the interface has been made more accessible with two additions - the ability to move the camera with the mouse by simply dragging the cursor to the edge of the screen and a new menu bar along the bottom of the screen that offers one-click access to a number of formations and other common commands. According to Bungie, the first thing to improve was the interface.

The camera interface from the original is brought over into Soulblighter so you can quickly adjust the viewing angle with one hand while you direct the battle with your mouse.

You don't have to worry about mining resources and you don't have to worry about building units - you start with a set number of troops for each mission and you only have to worry about the battle action. But unlike most strategy games Myth II focuses entirely on combat and troop utilization. You have a number of units you command on the battlefield, each serving different functions. Gameplay remains true to the original and is very similar to other strategy games. Although the past sixty years have been a time of relative peace, the calm is about to be broken by Soulblighter and his evil minions.
