OMG! Seraching info of this mission made me find out its a OM of thief 2, i can't believe i have forgot this mission came with the game. Its seems i didn't play thief 2 many times in order to remember that, or probably because its been years since the last time i played the thief 2 missions.

Yeah, for me, the lost city just gets filed under thief1 in my mind, even if the thief2 OM revisited. Then, when I replayed thief1 I remembered there being mechs there so I filed that in my head under FM.

The mission is nice and has several new creatures running around. The fire burricks seem to be a bit too powerful, though, with their explosive breath attacks. Maybe a smaller blast radius would be in order. The water elementals can be quite dangerous because of their own fast movement as well as that of the projectiles they shoot.

By the way, who is this "Cavador" you all refer to? I only got Cadavor!:p Funny, that almost sounds like what I accidentally made of him once.

And while we're taling about strange creatures, I must mention a person in the camp clearly having a beard, yet speaking with a female mechanist voice.:joke: Didn't look too much like a Mechanist, btw..

And now for the less funny things.

There are several missing textures, especially around Site 4. A lot of the doorways there show up as blue rectangles for me, and in DromEd, the texture assigned to them is our old friend "Jorge". Other missing textures can be found to the right of the elevator at Site 6, on some metal reinforcements around a doorway/tunnel at Site 1, and around two pieces of Mechanist machinery embedded in a wall inside a building tilted sideways near Site 8.

Site 9 has a white plaque to the right of the doorway leading into the building there, but if I frob it, the screen just goes black. There's nothing to read there.

I also had the game stop for a split second every three to five seconds several times. Once, it happened at Site 4 in two places, but was gone again when I reloaded an earlier saved game. Twice I got it around Site 3, where two water elementals and an air/gas elemental were on the loose. However, it does not seem to be located near any of the monsters (I thought of the fire burrick at Site 4 and the water elementals at Site 3), but rather at a specific spot. Maybe the impact site of a projectile?

I had the game crash (with Windows' "Thief 2 has encountered a problem and needs to be closed in order not to f*ck up your computer" message) once when picking up one of the water arrows found behind a large metal cylinder at Site 1. This did not occur again when picking up the same arrow after reloading a saved game, thus it doesn't appear to be specific to that arrow. On another occasion, when firing a fire arrow at two water elementals around Site 3, the game freezed at about the time when the arrow hit its target (or maybe a projectile shot at me instead).

It would be nice if these problems would be addressed in a future release.

Has anyone find the secret?

(i don't mean the fact the Cavador has changed his name and species?)

Anyone else spotted how Site 6 was left untouched? Is there any story behind this, or just an oversight?

The one and only secret is at Site 4; look for a switch on the right outer wall of one of the "small houses" there. It opens the door of that "house". Inside, you find some equipment (flash mines and some kind of arrows, I think)

If you don't find that switch, you can also hit all doorways there with your sword. One of the doorways sounds wooden although it doesn't look as if made of wood. That's the right one.

This secret was already present in the original mission.

Concerning Site 6: If you mean "untouched by the new sect", well, Site 9 did not attract their attention either.
