I've been making over the last year or so a map for warcraft 3 based heavily on the mechanics of the Thief series.
There are systems in place to handle Shadows, Seek n Destroy AI, Pick pocketing, distraction, knock outs. Some stuff doesn't shine as much as others, but I feel it is a great representation of what the final game will be like and I dare say it really feels like Thief. It is however in 3rd person but I think the game mechanics of warcraft 3 make it fun regardless.
Moghedian has been really helping me a lot with making this in the form of testing and advice on what could work and what wouldn't, etc so thanks to her big time for getting me this far as well.
You can grab the demo if you have Warcraft 3 and the Frozen Throne expansion from my website at (
www.blackpassage.com).
If you do try it out, pretty please save a replay at the end and email it to me, i'm pondering paypaling people some money for them(jk), but seriously I love watching replays especially if you beat the demo.

PS. This demo is only the tutorial mission of the map and rest assured there will be many more in the form of a full blown campaign.

I remember you mentioning this a long time ago, I'll have to dig out WC3 and give it a run through (when I have time :p)

I will say that it is a pretty good challenge a very good indication of what is to come. I have a feeling the people most likely to tell me it's too easy are the people here on these forums.
