Description

I got wind that one of the most important hammerite compounds of the city, Fort Neustadt, is about to celebrate its 100 anniversary.

Several of the most important nobles of The City have been invited, so it will be a perfect opportunity for me to get some quick cash. Anyway, it was not going to be as easy, the hammerites and nobles have hired elite guards to help keep everything under control.

It was supposed to be a normal task, get in, rob some nobles, and get out, but it didn't turn to be what I expected.

* Loading Information *

Runs from Dark Loader. Leave the file ZIPPED - DO NOT UNZIP this file, put the whole .zip file into whatever folder/directory you want to on your hard drive, then in Darkloader setup, point to this folder/directory, and the mission should show up in the Darkloader main screen.

=============================================================
Known Bugs:

The framerate stutters in some parts of the level.
Due to some strange problem with dromed, I got all lights in the catacombs section duplicated. As they don't affect gameplay or framerate I decided to leave them there. If you try to douse these torches, light will go out, but you will still see the flame burning.
During a conversation a guard that was supposed to lay on the floor will occasionally play his motion in mid-air.
Some AI will refuse to get into certain places.
