T2 FM: The Seven Shades of Mercury (Hammerite Imperium #1) - 20 May 2009

I think it was mainly the architecture that was being referred to in the percentage completeness.

The last I saw of the grand cathedral was pretty empty in terms of an actual mission, although I think some work had gone into it since then.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find where the purple team's icon is. :confused: It's somewhere in the grand library, right?

lemniscate - nope. Check your maps & go to the other place Purple are holding.

It IS in the library, at least on Normal. On Normal, you find a scroll at one of the tables. (Maybe you already picked it up and thought it was a normal scroll?) Maybe Sticky Fingers is referring to Hard or Expert.

Nicely done, guys! One of the most beautiful levels I've ever played, and I really liked the unique plot. Are there going to be more missions in this series?

Esme on 25/5/2009 at 14:52

very nice, beautiful textures, ok the base archtecture was a bit simple in places but with the textures on it looked much more complex than it was and allowed for some incredible sightlines

I love these tripwires and door opening booby traps, I'm surprised the door trap hasn't been used in more missions though I suppose it needs the right context, my picking doors open from the side is finally vindicated :ebil:

shame about the final secret I found the lava room trigger for it, the secret area over the nearby pressure plate trap with the spider chest in it and the putting the body in the coffin secret all by myself :cheeky:, I had to look in here for the rest though :(

playing on Shadow dificulty I got 8669 loot and all the achievable secrets (with help - see above) in just under 5 hours of fun and mayhem and everybody has gone beddybye, this is the unpatched version

excellent mission :thumb: and the sequel is 60% finished ? cool :ebil:

I think I'll wait for the sequel and download the full patched version of this one to play again first

really good job :thumb:

As Fingernail said above, that was the architecture only that's 60% done, which means the mission overall is maybe 30% done. And most importantly - and let me stress this again - NO ONE is currently working on the sequel or any other missions in the campaign, at least that I know of.

lemniscate - TaterGuy is right, the purple icon is in the Grand Library on all difficulties. It looks like a scroll so might be missed if yo uweren't picking up the scrolls on the tables.

But if the remains of the team is inspired by the release of Seven Shades to go finish mission 2, I'm sure they'd have lots of support from the community, including probably dedicated Dromeders and testers to help them (although I'd not be included in that group). Personally I'd love to see mission 2 because I think it's the one that has the Grand Cathedral which is supposed to be so incredibly huge and amazing.

So you heard it guys. Everyone who know the slightest bit of DromEd come help with HI 2. Everyone who doesn't know anything about DromEd go spam Alexius to encourage him to make HI 2. :ebil:

No serious, there need to be a sequel.

Jeez, sorry about that :o I was thinking of the key to the Library.

Thanks for the help guys... I have it now. I could have sworn that desk was not there a minute ago. Curious, when I blackjacked the guy in the center of the library, he fell down and disappeared. Oh well, now onto silver and black!
