Hello everyone, i have ended the hold.

I've change the name of the third level, also try fix the unintended solution of harmless 1N.

Also have the final version of the hold that problably going to submit to HA in 2-3 weeks (time enough think, for anyone who want play and test the new level). If anyone need more time or just not submit yet tell me.

Finally i would like some opinion about the dificult of the hold, since I play/test alone all the rooms i don't sure about how much brains got it :? .

Hope you like the new level, and the hold!. Have a nice game!.

Yikes, I'm sorry to see you haven't received any feedback yet.

Unfortunately, it is too hard for me so I can't really give you any comments regarding the puzzles:(

I'd suggest you ask someone to edit all your text as the English is not all correct. Tell me if you'd like me to help or you might ask others who are better.

Good luck with this hold, it looks like you worked hard making tough puzzles.

Urgh, I sadly have to agree with Larry, these rooms are really though (it' a good thing). I'd give an 8.5 to difficulty. I tried almost all of them and I only did the first part of each room, after that it was too hard for me, but those puzzle are really neat!
About the aesthetic is really really cool I think there is no problem with that.

The dificult of the hold is really insane,I would put about 8,5/9. I can't pass from the first room at the end, where you have to activate 2 plates.

I already corrected you some writing errors.

In the last level in 3N 1E you don't drop the red trapdoors, so just put another plate that don't involve the puzzle to do it. I miss a checkpoint on 3N.

In harmless 3N 1E you can't put the decoy anywhere.

Good luck to anyone who tries to conquer this hold.

Ok, I've attached a copy of your hold with my edits.


Edited begin and exit hold text. Also level entry texts. Scrolls seemed mostly fine. Didn't see any character speech.

Edit: I'm removing the attached hold. I assume you had a chance to download it already and it's probably better not to leave it up and confuse people. If you still need it just tell me and I can attach it again for you.

I'm not on architecture much, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this.
Beat level 1. It seems to get easier near the end, but maybe that's just because I'm getting into the rhythm.

In Harmless: 1W, what's the point of the guard in the NW corner?

In Priceless: 1S, you can stand at 20,3 with the goblin at 22,5 and not have to move.
2S: Fegundos don't depress pressure plates, so the two on the west side seem rather pointless. In addition, you can just send the fegundo in to the east portion to fight the guards for you, without worrying about the time limit (or, for that matter, just place the clone by the door and not worry about the time limit that way).
2S2W: Incidentally, this is possible with 2 potions. Maybe even with one.
1W: I especially liked this one. Quite clever!
Otherwise, I thought this was most enjoyable!

Thanks to all!.

Let's see, in harmless 1W the guard of sw corner, intentionally must follow you and activate one plate for open one door, but i went from the other side and i can't activate both plates, and i forgot change the room. I will fix both problems.

In priceless 1S, I knew this trick, I will not modified the room, because i tested it changing several times the open space and was too hard for me conquer it.

2S priceless,I will fix this problem adding a tunnel.

2S2W, really??, i don't know how much decoys are needed for conquer the room. I think that i will remove some potions.

Finally, i think that the first level is the hardest, so i not sure if i should change the order of levels.

Thanks someone for playtesting my hold and finding those problems. And also everyone, i'm very happy knowing that you play my hold.

New version, this problably is the final version that i'm going to update to HA. I have added a post-conquered level that I hope it's fun.

PD: i've put the exit of swordless 1N as the only secret room of the whole hold.

Another update.
I have fixed an unintended solution of flawless 1E.(can put the clone in the room with the sword/less token and the fuses before)
Changed the 1S of flawless, now it's more hard.
Changed 1W of flawless, making more interesting.
Changed the entrance of the hold.
And mend the scroll of the 1S swordless(might).

The first time that i've do rooms with citizens and titles, so i'm not too good with them but I hope that the rooms are fun :P .
