Thievery Campaign (Levels 1 - 6)

[witchdoctor]

Arggg! how you guys able to kill Master Portal in chp.5, when his HP below 50%, he always has Flame Shield so can't hookshot anymore?

Edit: whoa, I know how to deal with him now, excellent idea! Thanks for the amazing campaign, have a lot of fun playing it.

Hey Mr. Bob. I see you haven't found the time to finish this.

 

[Nicolas Warchief]

Hey, how you made the walls of Lordaeron in the screenshots ? Used any editor in World Edit ?

 

[Rufus]

I guess you're not active anymore... Too bad. this is one of the top 3 campaigns I have ever played.

Thanks for making this!

I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I check back here every now and then, but I have no plans to finish the campaign, unfortunately. I absolutely loved my time making it, though. I am in the process of making Thievery the Platformer, however, which is a standalone game.

Well, that works too. Hopefully, it will have better gameplay mechanics and original music!

...making Thievery the Platformer, however, which is a standalone game.

Good luck with that!
I hope you announce it here on the hive when it reaches alpha!

Hi, firstly i must thank for this amazing campaign! Then, if someone is still coming here, i'd like to ask for help. I am stuck at chapter 5 at collecting tesla parts. After i collected first part, i have nowhere to go. All other ordinary gates are shut(to the wall, the second library, to room with statue). I used reveal map cheat but still cant go forward.

Have you collected the key yet from that large center area where the broken teslanaut resides?

 

[jojkov]

you mean from one of the guards, which led to room with that exposives shop and 1 part, that one i collected
and the closed doors are clasic gates, not iron gates, which need keys.
gate1
gate2
gate3

You can get through gate 1. Everything you need is in that same room.

Well, i was so desperate, that i was putting frozen exposives under the gate, but then they never exploded

 

[jojkov]

Omg, so chain explosion was needed, this is sick, great job Ogre Bob and thanks for advice!

Heh, what a nice attitude. Thanks again, i will recommend this campaign to my friends. Pity, that it is already over, was really fun to play!

Ok so Im no chapter 3 and I think its bugged. The part where the is a risen guard next to a switch and there is a platform that elevates you to a combination of 3 other switches, each located on the elft, right and bottom - SPOILER FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW STOP READING AT THIS POINT:



I pushed the catapult into that boxy-area and i stepped on the switches but the catapult's position remains facing forward thus I can't destroy the gate. Ive literally tried everything and have come to the conclusion that it's bugged for not doing so. Would appreciate some help because the campaign is absolutely flawless in every respect.

 

[Rufus]

I can just say this, that it is eatable, as I have cleared it, and have not been updated since.
Can't help you further though, as I don't remember that specific position. :/

Hey MiloShot,

I believe I know where you are. Are you sure that the catapult has "snapped" into place before you stepped on the switches? Do the switches move up and down?

Hey ogre bob, yes i've put him into place and he still doesnt budge. I've tried other things like stepping on the switches before i snap him into place.

 

[Bawbz]

Just to confirm, do you mind posting a screenshot of the situation you are stuck at? Also, do you have an earlier save?

Thanks for your time dealing with this issue. If it is indeed a bug, it isn't one I've ever encountered before.

Edit: Actually, here's an idea. If you are where I think you are, then the catapult you have was taken from the previous room. There should be a lever in that room that resets the catapult's position. Have you tried resetting it and trying again?

 

[Deleted member 237964]

Any chance for a sequel?

 

[Rufus]

I'd like that soo much!

 

[Deleted member 237964]

I'd like that soo much!

Shards of Resistance,Joe Quest,Mordork Quest,this campaign and many many more.We will probably never see sequels to it.

 

[Tom Amder]

I'm stuck in chapter 3 because i can't kill the final boss even i used cheat code. What should i do now?

 

[Bawbz]

boss

Hey Tom, thanks for playing the map.

I'd love to help you figure out how to progress, but I need a little bit more information. Can you describe the situation you're in where you can't kill the final boss? What happened to get you to that point? How far along in the boss fight are you?

Sorry for off topic but i just want to know.Any chance to see continuation of this?

 

[Bawbz]

Well, never say never, perhaps someday.

For now, though, I'm focusing on other things, unfortunately. For more information, you can check out this thread.

Thank you so much for your interest and I'm glad you enjoyed my campaign!

In part 3, the area after the one which there’s 2 necromancers, An elite skeleton,And a meat wagon, I can’t find a way to open the door to the next area. I have tried anything isn’t working. Am I missing something?

I will just throw some hint:
The meat wagon is the key.
If you really cant solve it, just post here again and i will help you further.

I did use the meat wagon in any way I could before I came here. When i moved it up using the elevator and placed it between the four blocks, I attacked it and it moved instead of firing It did spin though but that was it. So I assumed maybe there was something actually wrong. Iam mistaken probably.

 

[jojkov]

Good, you have the main work behind you! Now you should focus on what blocks your way forward to dungeon, once you realise it, i am sure you will know what to do

 

[Abraham Dipin Jacob]

hi, First of all thnak you so much for making this custom campaign. It is really amazing and it is a fun way to break the usual build army and defeat foes. great job and hoping to see more stuff in future.

 

[Restia]

Thanks for tips as i was stucked on second one;p

 

[诺森德的呜喵王]

Dear author, can I translate your campaign into Chinese?

 

[Jayborino]

I really enjoyed this campaign and it belongs in the upper echelon of the best available ones to play even in 2020. The puzzles are unique, very well crafted, and rewarding to solve along with hidden side objectives to complete.

While I do like the Ankh system for the majority of the missions, I feel that it does not do well with the boss fights at all, which are terribly punishing with absolutely no time to learn what to do in many cases before you are one-shot to death within 3-5 seconds of entering an arena or the boss entering a new phase. I think these boss situations fall victim to a classic mapmaking pitfall where things of course seem plain and obvious to anyone who knows the solution, but it's simply impossible to rewind the clock and get into the mindset of someone who has no idea and needs to experiment.

To be clear, I don't think unlimited Ankhs is the answer as it's a great system for every part of each map besides the bosses. I realize this is an old campaign that will not be updated, but a couple solutions could be to either make the bosses Ankh-less with unlimited respawns or to decrease boss damage so they don't all instakill you with every attack they do. To balance the former option, the player could be forced to restart the boss fight if they die until they can do it without dying, but with those unlimited reloads. To balance the latter, boss attacks could not instakill for the first 30-60 seconds of the arena to at least allow the player to experiment with what to even do before they're punished for it

In any case, I spent too much of this review dwelling on what I found to be the only negative, when it is otherwise filled with top tier content. 5/5, would recommend to anyone who isn't put off by puzzles or unforgiving stealth.

I have to say, I enjoyed this campaing, because I like solve puzzles, even if sometimes gets so heavy, the story is simple and basic, but it make it easy to follow, and is stressing that the distraction ability have too much cooldown, I don't know why, is not like spam it will make the map easier.

Anyway, the problem is I didn't end it because I got stucked in some part of the 3rd level in the part of the elite skeleton and the plataform that goes up and there are 3 buttons in the floor and you press one and other goes up, and I don't find the answer

What game/patch version have you tried it on? Older version (1.26-1.27) or even 1.31.1?
The latter version might be the reason the gameplay is not working because of the bug:
1.31.1 [Bug] Loading saved game breaks some unit events

1.26
Edit maybe the reason of the bug is because I am constanly saving/loading, call it lame but if my options are doing that and have a limited lifes and do all again, what should I preffer?

You'll have to change all unit-specific event triggers to unit-generic event triggers, but this is extremely difficult.

This is not my map, I don't think touch it.

Then it's the problem with the campaign, I guess.

You need to push the meat wagon up onto that platform and place it in the green circle. That will allow you to rotate it so you can fire at the gate.

A bit far-fetched, but ok
