* DESCRIPTION : *
"It is not titles that honour men, but men that honour titles. But what is left to honour in the City's inbred nobility? The truth is they fear their own slave soul, and shroud it in a royal cloak." - writings attributed to the Overwarden.
The Unwritten Times. The City grew restless, fearful, suspicious. Balance was lost. A power vacuum created. And nature abhors a vacuum. Without the Keepers' guiding hand the City was lost in the grasp of thugs and tyrants. And that unlikely alines of low villainy and high corruption - the Cabal...
Thus, the Flesheaters are glad to present you the Thief Deadly Shadows Mini-Campaign named "The Cabal". This mission is the first part of the campaign. Welcome!

================================================================================
* Construction *
Base : original TDS map "Garrett's place", original TDS map "South Quarter", original TDS map "Stonemarket Plaza"
Build Time : 3 years and 5 months
Changes in version 1.54:
- Added German and Italian translations of objectives.
- Fixed the misprint in one of my testers' nick-name (HellFier).
================================================================================
* IMPORTANT : *
- The weakest machine this mission was tested on is a PC with minimal configuration for TDS. In other words, you can play this mission even if you have to run TDS at the lowest settings only.
- It's better to play this mission with desktop resolution 800x600 or higher. Otherwise, the text in pop-up windows may be partially hidden.
- What tricks you can expect from this mission:
1) There are both obligatory and optional quests in this mission. Most part of quests are available for all difficulty levels, but several optional quests are available for Hard and Expert difficulty levels only. Optional quests can give the player weapons, loot, extra opportunities or alternative plot as a reward.
2) There are also tons of secrets, hidden territories and "Easter Eggs". Secrets with loot and weapons or secret doors can be hidden from the player in many ways, including objects that can be removed "by hand", opened with a switch or destroyed with Garrett's dagger.
- There are 4 new types of arrows (Darkness Arrow, Vodka Arrow, Freezing Arrow, Explosive Arrow) and Garrett's pocket light that are made specially for this mission.
- Garrett has new abilities for TDS in this mission:
1) knocking out sitting NPC with blackjack;
2) combining Vodka Arrows and the blackjack for stunning NPCs when they are not on high alert;
3) stealing weapons from NPCs;
4) receiving tasks for a quest from particular NPCs marked with an arrow;
5) putting out electric lights with Darkness Arrow and flame lights with Freezing Arrow;
6) putting out lamps which highlight by. hand;
7) climbing flags as a ladder.
- Note that there are no highlighted objects in this mission that are not used: if an object highlights, it means that the player may need it sooner or later or at least is able to do something with it. If you click on a highlighted object (a door, for example) and nothing happens, it means that you should use some thing from your inventory (a key, for example) on this object to activate it.
- The enemy class "Robot" created for this mission was inspired by. the combat bots from Thief Metal Age. Maybe, in the future, I'll think about making the same system of damage for it as the bots in T2. But, for now, my purpose is to break all old associations and get rid of all these it-is-not-like-in-T2 stupid grumbles. That's why I replaced most of the original arrow types with new ones. So, you will never find any water or fire arrows here, nor will you destroy a robot by pounding on it with a blackjack.
- Robots are not "living enemies". So you can destroy them even on Hard and Expert difficulty levels.
- The enemy class "Mechanists" created for this mission were inspired by. the mechanists from Thief Metal Age.
- The mission is divided in 6 parts (loading zones). I had my reasons for doing so, and I'm not going to change it. If you don't like it, it's your own problem. Just don't bother me with your complaining.
================================================================================
* KNOWN BUGS : *
- There is no French language because Russian is included instead.
- The introductory video named EF_Titles.bik which the game shows before loading the main menu is always played without any subtitles. I have no idea what should be done here to get rid of this bug. So, I simply included the subtitles for the introductory video into the "Description" text of this readme to make this video more understandable.
- Garrett has no reflection in TDS, that's why all "mirrors", created by me, bring up the proper association only if the player is in the first person camera's position. No idea what I can do here.
- Sitting links don't work properly for me in this mission. That's why I had to replace all the sitting links with the imitation of "sitting" action. This trick gave me some new opportunities and an exotic bug. If an NPC is interrupted by. something while this NPC is returning to its place after the fight is over (for example, NPC saw an opened door or player stole NPC's weapon), NPC sometimes forgets to return to its place, stops and begins to imitate "sitting" where ever the NPC is. If you bother an NPC "sitting in the air" once again and wait till it calms down, the NPC will go back to its chair.
- The mission crashed while loading at some machines, because GarrettLoader didn't patch the file "user.ini" for no reason. If it happened to you, replace your file "user.ini" (in the game's main folder) with the one from the "Fan Mission Extras" folder.
- About the quests "Cooking a healing drink" and "Property Deeds": if you find quest items before you find the quest-giving NPCs, you will not have a chance to hear the story of these quests. However, this doesn't influence the fulfilment of the objectives.
- Some testers reported that the game may crash without any reason during fights between the player and several NPCs in South Quarter or Lower Private Docks. So save, save, save.
