Return of the Spider Cultists

Installation: "Return of the Spider Cultists" is a 3rd party plugin for Myth 2.  To use it, simply drag the plugin into your Myth 2 plugins folder.  You may have to hold down shift while clicking "New Game" to get the levels to appear.

Info: I've been making Myth 1 and Myth 2 maps for a very long time.  Overall, I've made about 16 all-new solo levels and 4 all-new multiplayer maps, including the highly successful 11-level solo package called "Myth 2 Solo Campaign" (available at the Mill). The Mill contest gave me the willpower I needed to start this mini-solo campaign, "Return of the Spider Cultists", and so now I'm submitting it!
Some things to take note of while playing this plugin: 

*This is NOT conventional Myth!  Your level objectives will be very different from the type of level objectives to be found in Bungie levels.  Turning on your mission objectives box is STRONGLY reccommended.

*With the mission objectives is a unique hint list for every level, just like Bungie had for theirs.

*The difficulty levels are still in effect. An easier difficulty level will have less enemies and their AI won't be as sharp. Also if you play on an easier difficulty level some enemies won't use special attacks (like flaming arrows), certain ambushes just won't happen, enemy health will be lower, enemies will miss more, ect. I recommend playing on at least normal difficulty for the maximum fun factor. The campaign is beatable on legendary (no, really, I'm serious).

*There are 4 levels in this plugin. 

*If you find any bugs or have any suggestions e-mail me!

*There are new pregames, postgames, sounds, and scenery of course. The narration music used is the main menu music from myth 2. I would've liked to have done alot more vocals, but sound files like that are HUGE and I figure this campaign is already bloated enough as it is :)

Units/Artifacts:
Changeling-This is a Bungie-made unit some people might recognize.  Essentially it is a killer tree that sucks down tons of damage, can kill most of your units with one or two swats from its massive limbs, and explodes when it dies.  Very nasty.

Magic pedestel-They are sometimes used to power lightning monoliths.  Destroy them all to get by any monoliths you come across.

Princess Vy'rony-She has a magic attack that deals moderate damage, but her real strength is in her healing powers.  

Stirge-Although not very tough, stirges are the fastest unit in Myth, and thus you can find your troops being massacred by them before you even realize you're under attack.  Also, due to their small size, stirges are hard to hit with arrows even at close range.  They attack in packs.

Vindian Cultist-They have a stun attack which deals minimal damage but can keep your troops pinned down.  They are hard to kill.

Vindian Spider-A giant red spider that dissolves into poisonous gas when killed.  Its bite also causes considerable damage and induces paralysis.

Will o' the Wisp-A spirit that confuses its targets, then closes in for the kill while they are helpless.  Very dangerous if you are busy fighting other enemies.

???-What unspeakable evil could be behind Vindia's return?

Antidote Root-A rare artifact that protects whoever wears it from harm.  Some attacks are negated entirely, while others simply do less damage.

Playing co-op: You can play co-op on bungie.net with these levels, with other people that have this plugin.  Remember to choose from the list of solo levels when you host the game!  The first and fourth levels are great for co-op play; the second and third levels aren't.
