I have been slow in announcing this and some people have played it already.

Anyway, I have finished my first mission - Lord Matt. It's a sneaker/Lord bafford type mission with a few twists. I hope you enjoy it. You can find it at:

Let me know what you think.

I should have also thanked everyone on the forum who helped me with all their knowledge. There is a trmendous body of knowledge and a lot of really generous people here.

Also thanks to KOMAG and his GREAT tutorial. Without that, I would never have had the courage to start using Dromed.

bbb,

I am playing your mission and I must say it is really challenging. I found a

[SPOILER] metal door with a crate and a ladder behind it. I can't find the key to open it. [/SPOILER]

Can you please give me a hint?

:)

If you are where I think you are ... [SPOILER]the door cannot be opened. [/SPOILER] There was a bulletin in the game that mentioned that the door to [SPOILER]Lord Matt's room will be permanently locked. [/SPOILER]

ok thanks for the tip.

Now I have another problem. I managed to shoot a rope arrow and climb

[SPOILER] into one of the two large glass windows. There is one door with a guard behind it, now KO, and two more doors. There is also a small door for a teleporter. [/SPOILER]

I don't know if I was supposed to go in this way but I can't find any more keys.

Can I have just one more hint please?

OK... the bad news is you will need to go back down the rope *unless* you have the electric room key (labeled elec. key). That key is unobtainable from where you are now.

You really need to find a way up to Lord Matt's room in the castle. There are two ways to do it.

One way :[SPOILER]go back to the guards room, where there is a bulletin board with three notices it. there is a secret button under the desk that opens the door.[/SPOILER]

The other way:[SPOILER]go to the room where the construction is going on and there are statues being set up. You will want to use rope arrows to get up to the top shelf on the south side of that room. Then use another rope arrow to swing into the open hallway. [/SPOILER]

Let's just say that you really really want to be in Lord Matt's room next :D

The rest of it should just fall into place...

Thanks Moghedian for the help. Actually to get in there I took an alternative approach.

[SPOILER] I stacked two crates near the angled walkway above the guard's room and climbed up. :P [/SPOILER]

Anyway I finished but was 2000 short on loot.

I must be missing something major, because I've killed Matt and Mikus, but can't figure out how to get into[SPOILER]the area you can see from outside the house Mikus was in - I see a railing/bridge area through one window and a french door through another.[/SPOILER] Someone help?

Hey Yandros:

What you are looking at is just a preview through a window. i like to do that for the fun of it.

[SPOILER]You need to continue around the back of Prince Mikkus's house and through the barracks. There is a little alleyway that has a switch. Pull the lever and it opens a gate near where you started. i put the gate in to force the player to play this area before he goes on to the castle. It is a little down from a guard and a generator. You will then be off to a whole new area. [/SPOILER]

Have fun.

I put loot everywhere (since I love to find a lot of loot). One area you may have missed is [SPOILER]If you go down the alley where the Hammerites came from. Look up. There is a window and a block of wood. Shoot a rope arrow and you should find more loot. I actually forget where I put a lot of the loot![/SPOILER]
