There are plenty of willow island help threads around, but nobody ever made an official announcement for this mission on the forums. I guess it just wasn't as common at the time the first wave of fanmissions arrived. Like every fanmission released these days, this deserves one as well. Here it is, beter late then never. It's also more clearer when everything can be found in one thread.
To those taffers who missed it back in 2000 and haven't played it yet, this is an old classic that's every thief fan should have played.

Hammerites, Mechanists, Pagans, escaping an island, a mine, it includes a lot of things that make it fun.

For questions search these first before posting here.
I'm surprised how few reactions this mission received. Even now, when most of the difficulties have been described before, it really deserves some comments from people who played it.
In my opinion, an official announcement thread on the forums should be made for more missions that haven't got one in the past.
Enjoy! :thumb:

Hey,
Good to see this is still remembered :D
You won't find this or other old FM's in this forum because they existed before the FM forum was created. The older missions had threads in the Editors Guild (archived version). Here is a link to the original thread

I remember playing this yeeeeeeeeeeeears ago. It was very fun if I recall correctly, although I do remember some dodgy-looking hedgerows! :laff:

Riding that Cart was lots of fun. I was amazed that it also span around to face the right direction too. Clever stuff! :thumb:

What I remember of this mission was the cool way it was broken into "chapters", with titlecards for each chapter and a cool little musical riff. I thought it was a nice idea that I don't think I've seen used in any other FM.
