This was the last fan mission I had finished (so far ^^) and it is really worth commenting. I liked this campaign, whereby I have to admit, that it had in storystelling and architecture highs (most mission) and downs (ship mission and the Forgotten Depths, where the last mentioned had a sweet lighning on the other side). I feel I cannot describe my impression appropriately, but will give it a little further try. For example I was very fond of the first mission, with its rainy and humid pirate atmosphere, telling the impression of a little, sleepy fisher village. Also the castle missions fitted well into the theme and were well elaborated with grapical highlights (like the library in the 3rd mission). In the ship mission I was glad, when I had finished it, what maybe due to the fact, that I have problems with this type of architecture in "stand alone" mission in general and think, that the engine is not made for this type of mission. Also it seemed for me it was there, because there was a existing ship mission, which had to be used. Otherwise, it was one of the better ship mission I have seen so far. Anyway: the last mission was georgeous and covered the whole campaign with a very, very well done expression. In it I enjoyed the riddles and especially the beautiful architecture. So, well done nicked, looking forward to see new mission.

I just completed the campaign and I must say: well done. Really well done. :thumb:
The puzzles were never too difficult or too easy, there was never a point where I was stuck for a long time, it had an
interesting story and some nice plot-twists.
I also liked the designs in the levels and the last level was awesome!
I loved the ending with the Haunt-like creatures and the towers.
Overall superb campaign and can't wait for more of you nicked :thumb:

Absolutely beautiful mission and I am enjoying it immensely. One question, I chose unwisely at the beginning and did not pick my blackjack. I like putting everyone to sleep when I play and now beginning mission Mission 3 I really miss it. Is there another one located elsewhere in the game or am I forced to use my sword?
Thanks for making this FM nicked!
edit: forgot to ask this, if I update the FM to the latest version will my savegames work?

I have not seen any other blackjack in the missions, including objects like frying pans or something simliar that could be used as a replacement for the blackjack.

Rather not. You could, however, save a game at the beginning of a new mission with the older version of this FM pack, then switch to the newer version, load this saved game,
restart the mission and continue. If loading the saved game from the previous version works (meaning the game does not crash while loading), you most likely would not run into problems. No guarantees, though.
On the other hand, I was able to play v1 of the campaign without any important problems, so maybe you should just finish it as well.

No, there is no other BJ in the game. If you want to have one you'll have to restart the series but once you've picked the correct chest, you could skip to the beginning of Mission 3 rather than replaying them all if you prefer.

NW, now THAT is a good idea, never thought of it! Thanks.
