I know that Samantha1 and fortuni are creating polls for best FMs for every year and I played most of T1/T2 missions (except the ones I didn't know how to launch), but I don't remember all of them. Since polls have deadlines and I'm not committed to replay all older missions and race deadlines, I decided to create this list. Plus of doing it this way is when I get motivation to play older missions and find something better than what I listed here, I can edit this list whenever I want. So this list isn't final and may change in the future. This list has only T1/T2 FMs listed, but in the future I'm planning to play T3 and TDM FMs, so this list may change again.
1999: Garrett's Revenge (T1)
2000: TTGM 1: Errand Boy (T2)
2001: Art of Thievery (T2)
2002: Deceptive Perception (T2)
2003: Rowena's Curse (T2)
2004: Mystic Estate (T2)
2005: T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age (T2)

Mystic Estate is pretty much 1st mission of Rebellion of the Builder, but it was released 2 years before campaign and both versions of this mission are slightly different.

I noticed that on your mission there is no CNSD - The Game (2018) (I know it's unavailable right not, but it was released in the past) and Into the Dark Forest Remastered Edition (2021). Also you missed final "2" in year 2022.
fortuni on 23/3/2022 at 18:28
CNSD was formally withdrawn, the author requested that all d/l links be removed and hoped no further mention of his mission would take place, as far as I'm concerned that mission never existed.
As for Dark Forest remastered it's an update of a previous mission, fundamentally the map is almost identical so I didn't include the remastered version in that list, as I don't with other re-releases, unless the map is massively different making the new version almost as if it's a brand new mission (eg Scarlet Cascabel)
If we included all updates there would be 200+ Cardia missions in that list.
Missing 2 added :p

Have you play that? Remastered Edition is huge, huge improvement towards original version. A lot more loot and a lot more details. Mission flow is also very different. Original mission was more open, remastered version is more linear. Also there are secrets added. So I really strongly request to add this version to your list.

Played it? I wrote the walkthrough for it! :cheeky:
I'll add it to this list just for you, but honesty I'm not prepared to add any other re-releases, if I did that the number of so call releases would increase from 12500+/- to in excess of 2500 missions and that 's just not feasible. Think of the Bathory campaign or even Dracula campaign, both of those were originally released as 5 stand alone missions, then as 5-6 mission campaigns and then again with Newdark releases, so which release should we consider in any listing? I have usually considered the first release date as the best, with a few exceptions.
Edit: I have now removed 'Into the Dark Forest remastered' from the masterlist because Galaer just doesn't get it, re-releases do not count as new missions, and his constant berating of me below is p**sing me off.

2018: Ultimate Burglary
That is an unexpected pick. Do you want to elaborate why this is your favorite mission of 2018?

That's my favorite mission in Thief 1 Anniversary Contest. Usually my favorite contest entries score very lowly. But I liked this mission's simplicity. Flat design of city allowed me to methodically explore this mission. And overall I had a lot of fun with it. For my favorite mission I was also thinking about Mortuos Liber Campaign, but I remember to have slightly more fun with Ultimate Burglary.
@fortuni: Yes, you made walkthrough for this mission, but I suspect you just make walkthroughs by looking into Dromed instead of playing them. Your information about all secrets and all loot appear too quickly to get it just from playing. Also I'm not talking about including every small update for every mission, I'm talking about updates that significantly changed gameplay. There isn't that many gameplay updates out there to hugely stretch your list.
