anyone else get a "screen complexity too high" error on this level? Happened to me several times. Is this a product of a slower PC? (using an Athlon 750)

yes, it happened to me many times too (was one of my first reasons for giving up for a while)
i really don't think it matters what pc you have - think it just crossed thief limits period
(i have a pentium 4 - 3.06 & it crashed to the desktop quite a few times - from seemingly inconspicuous places - i'd read in the readme that this was a problem a couple places or such, but didn't expect it where i decided to move the mouse around and look)

I ghosted it completely with 1834 / 2050 loot. The sneaking was tricky in places but did not require any heroic moves. I guess the Hammer temple and the clothes line were the two tough spots for me, but they needed only timing and finding the "correct" route.
I am puzzled by the trap door in the ceiling of what seems to be the market office -- bookshelves and stuff. Is there a way in? The shutters by the upper clothesline route from the opposite building do not open. Any ideas?
I also got a crash to desktop, video complexity, in several areas, particularly around the market.
I found the Southwest pueblo architecture and the lack of obvious shadows, which obscured some passages, interesting.:)

I was on a roof down the alley from the clotheslines. I don't understand why there are [SPOILER] barricades on the edge of the roof preventing me from jumping off. [/SPOILER]

I just finished with 21 short of total loot. I'm puzzled about the trap door too.
:D

Edit: About the trap door: [SPOILER] There is a key under the books on the table, but it is not frobable. Also there is loot in the room the trap door leads to. No one would have found all of the loot. [/SPOILER]

some answers from the author:
--------------------
The list of responces:
You don't have to alert any guards.
You can not get your equipment.
This is one mission where you may have to decrease your gamma.
You can get into the trap door, you just need to get the key, which is in the same room. Getting the key IS possible, you just have to figure out how. There was no need to look in Dromed.
If you are going for all the loot you should have 1341 before you go through the locked window.
The game would crash if you were above the outhouse and looked north, that's why there are barricades there.
Sorry about the crashes, it would have required starting from scratch to fix, and I ran out of time.

Ok no offense to the author. I didn't look at it in dromed until after I finished the FM. :D I hope you're not mad at me.

As for the broadhead arrows
[SPOILER]it's possible to get some by hiding behind wooden beams and alert a bowman...just pick the arrows up. When I first played the mission, I even thougt I got to kill all the guards using that trick.[/SPOILER]
