Let me present to you all, a NewDark updated version of the Circle of Strain 1-3 maps by the infamous "Mokkis", now in campaign form, bugfixed, and mildly enhanced. (Not to be confused with the (
) Circle of Stone and Shadow campaign.) These missions have been re-released with permission from Markus "Mokkis" Lappalainen. Bugfixing these lovingly crafted missions has been another little side project of mine for the past year, or so.
) HDMod installed. I've also included *.DMLs you can use if you have enhanced skies installed. They can be found in the "Enhanced Sky DMLs" folder, and will need to be moved to the root FM folder.
The story takes you back to when Garrett was working with Felix, who's been finding him thieving jobs. The first mission takes you through the mansion of Lord Jack for a jeweled artifact, the second through the manor of Lord Jacob to thwart his nefarious plans, and lastly the third mission takes you back to the city, with your eyes set on an incalculably valuable holy relic.
