Building time : about 1,5 years

The Night Falcon was originally started as a Team Project, but as the Team became smaller and
smaller and none of the members left had the time to go on we had to abandon the project. But after
all the work (I had already finished several missions for the campaign). I could not just give it
up like this. So I have shortened the campaign and modified the story accordingly.

Big Thanks to the ttlg.de Team (Ar-Zimrathon, Hrothgar, MadBull#34, pdackel, s.tschiesche) who have
helped me along the way.

Extra big thanks to Hrothgar for the cathedral and to The Unforgiven (pistole2k) who has also been
working on it, to Toasti whose abandoned mission is the basis for Lord Wellhofer and to
s.tschiesche for the maps and videos, to Hrothgar for the English translation and to Madbull#34
for the maps.

To Rob Hicks for DromED deluxe, to GayleSaver for Custom Scripts and to von.Eins for translating the
Dromed-Tutorials into German.

The original version of this mission has a 7.33/10 score.

So, why does this NewDark version only have 4.67? Did something break? Or did people just come back to it and realize it wasn't as good as they'd originally thought? I'd play it myself but I won't have my computer back for over a week.

Edit: Rewrote all of this because I realized I ...
