Well folks, after over a year of work by AsyluM, followed by 8 months of work by the Gold Team,
Heist Society is finally released!
(
http://thiefmissions.com/info.cgi?m=HeistSociety_v10) ->> GET IT HERE <<-
Description:Sources have led you to believe that Lord Gellard, a noble renowned
for his vicious competitiveness, has gathered an exquisite collection of valuable
artifacts and rare gems in the enormous mansion on his sprawling estate in Hightowne.
You're in need of a big job right now to meet certain expenses, so the Gellard
Estate should fit the bill.
You've heard that Lord Gellard somehow manages to control portions of the city
leadership and aristocracy... getting proof of how he's doing this would give you
something you could use against him, or sell to one of his enemies. Supposedly,
Gellard even has a secret passage from his estate that comes out somewhere in
or near City Hall... finding it could prove very useful.
He is also reputed to have the best guards and security devices around... since he
has close ties to the Mechanists, he has a number of their security devices on the
grounds. Cleaning out the estate won't be easy, but then paying the rent never is...
Difficulty Info:There are numerous differences between the difficulty levels:
- Numbers of AIs and their patrol routes
- Locations of keys and other important items
- Bonus objectives
Also, your starting location varies:
Normal - Just inside the servant’s back entrance
Hard - On the grounds, by the front entrance
Expert - On the grounds, in the graveyard
Team members:Alpha / Beta Tester - RiCh
Beta Testers - Nightwalker, Peter Smith
Gold Development Team:
Story completion/refinement: Moghedian, SlyFoxx
Dromed work: Yandros, VladMidnight, Moghedian
Additional Testers:
Nightwalker, Morrgan, Peter Smith, Dafydd, FreddyFox
Given the significant differences between the difficulty levels, it is
imperative that you preface any questions in this thread with which difficulty you're playing. If it becomes problematic, I'll start a different thread for each difficulty, but hopefully that won't be necessary. I do, however, recommend that everyone enjoy this mission on all three difficulties, the experience is quite different.
HAVE FUN! :cheeky:

Downloading, downloading, downloading. :joke:

Just a note to Dromeders:
This mission actually exceeds the brush limit by a considerable amount (don't ask me how AsyluM got away with that). You'll get an error trying to open it - just Cancel and it will still open. Also, be advised that the mission is sometimes unstable (read: crashes often) if you don't process_difficulty. Exceeding the limit also means you can't portalize or optimize the mission (according to AsyluM... I never actually tried).
