I don't normally comment on FM's but this has to be one of the most enjoyable ones I have played in a long time.
Many thanks to all those involved in making this masterpiece.

I've seen many wonderful fan missions scenery wise, but this takes the cake with the icing and cherries on top. The music was a real plus as well. A very fun fan mission.... finished in about an hour.:thumb::wot:

I finished this mission a few days ago -- asbolutely gorgeous! The kind of attention to detail I've come to expect from any mission associated with Yandros :). An excellent setup for a whole new set of missions located in a parallel Thief universe -- I hope there will be more... Having teams sort of sucked me in totally -- after a while I found myself really hating Gold, Blue, Black, whatever other team out there. Some of the readables really made me laugh out aloud (a few obvious takes on British academic life -- although I have no direct experience of it, I still know enough about it to be able to relate to it :ebil:).
I played on Shadow, and it took me 4 hrs 7 minutes, but I finished with 9469 loot out of 9634, and 5 out of 6 secrets...I was really proud of myself.
The cathedral was really fantastic -- it occurred to me that the times and the processing power have really changed, years ago the Keeper of the Prophecies included a mission in a cathedral -- very different from this one -- and it felt like a huge file, and my PC back then had problems with it, but now with this one, no problem...

This is too good to let die, would someone who was involved in this project PM me?

I was. And it's already dead.

Never say never, I gave Yandros a copy of the unfinished maps. So if he can cobble together a team this may see the light of day.

If I were ever to do that, it would be after DCE is released, so... at least a year from now.

Well, I would like to at least take a look at mission 2 and it's storyline-perhaps I could help move things further along. While I've pretty much lost interest in other projects of my own and have no future plans in this community-the vision in this FM series is simply too good to allow to fade away without at least getting another great FM or two out of it! If you would be willing Yandros, I'd like to see those missions and the storyline to see what I can do. PM me a link. :)
