=================================================================================== Title : Invasion Author : Anonymous Contact Info : Homepage : Date Finished : October 31, 2013 Briefing : The castle has been invaded by an evil being with the name of Dr. Death. This baddies arrival brought all kinds of terrible beings that I don't particularly like to deal with. Dr Death has caused considerable damage and loss of life at the castle, so he must be elliminated before he moves on to someplace else like Dayport. In all of this kaos there was one survivor, the one and only Jenivere. She needs to be taken away from the castle to a safe place. I'm sure Basso will be very appreciative, and he'll owe me big time for saving the love of his life. The casle hasn't had much time to recover since the last time I was here, but there should be some loot here and there. The best place to look will be on the guards themselves since they need to be paid before any new trinkets are bought. =================================================================================== * Playing Information * Game : Thief 2: The Metal Age NewDark 1.21 Title : Invasion File Name : miss32.mis Difficulty Settings : Yes Equipment Store : Yes Map : No Auto Map : No New Graphics : Yes New Sounds : Yes Multi-Language Support : Yes, English Briefing : No Length : n/a Size : n/a Difficulty Level Info : Normal, Hard, and Expert The Normal setting has ropes already deployed in the oubliette. Hard and EXpert do not. * Construction * Base : Bafford's Last Stand took nine months to build. Build Time : one month Short background of Beaumaris: Beaumaris Castle is located in Beaumaris, Anglesey, North Wales. It was built by King Edward I in 1295. Actually it was built by 2600 men hired by the King. This castle is one of the most complete castles still standing, however it was never actually completed. I've never been to Wales to see the castle, so the FM you are about to play is my version of Beaumaris and is highly unlikely to be accurate. I was inspired to build a Welsh castle when I was listening to a Charlotte Church cd. I chose this castle because I was able to find good photos and a map of the castle on the internet. The polys are very high in certain places and will crash the game if you wander to the tops of the hills. Please don't go up the hills. There is nothing to find there anyway. I reached object and ambient limits, so it may look sparse in some areas. The Normal difficulty setting has some objects removed to make framerate faster on slower PC's as well as easier gameplay. The Hard and Expert settings have more guards and access is a little bit more limited. The loot total and objetives are the same for all difficulty settings. =================================================================================== * Loading Information * DarkLoader, GarretLoader, FMSel ready. =================================================================================== * Copyright Information * I only take credit for the design of my mission.
