The Empire of Shades, by Psyche

Adventure ID = 145
Date Submitted = 2002-01-02

Author's Description:

"The Magnificent Three series: Hades"

"Welcome to the dark and gloomy Underworld! Help Hades building his empire and relive some myths that took place in the Hadian background"

"This adventure consists of 5 parent city episodes and 3 colony episodes"

Well, this says enough, doesn't it???

I made it before the other adventures, so you might notice the diffence between this one and the others.
And I also made this one before Impresionsgames released their 'Rich Man's Blues'. It's definately not inspired on that. Besides, this one actually takes part in the Underworld.

For more information: read the Word-file I implemented with the adventure.

I hope you love it,
Psyche

To John Ames:

I have also had the same problem, with an adventure that actually came with the game. I found out that my saved file of the adventure was somehow corrupted, so when I started afresh it worked fine.

This adventure was tremendous fun, difficult but fair until the final episode VIII when a literal non-stop series of invasions, monsters, and contrary Gods decimated the home city from Jan. 9959 starting with a population of 4478 to Oct. 9957 ending with a population of 654. It ended because I quit.

Sorry that I couldn't answer your problems earlier. My internet-connection has been broken down since Thursday.

In reply to John Ames' problem:
There must definately be something wrong with your version of Zeus, since other players and I have not had this problem. Sometimes when your parent-city is too large, Zeus can crash, but I suppose that after the first colony, it should still be fairly small. I can't help you with it, sorry.

In reply to quakeii' remark:
Thanks for the compliments. Yes, that last episode was a real tough one. Did you cut/shut down your industries to the minimum??? There was a tactic behind this: money (bride) + gods (Divinity X) + heroic mortals (monsters). But you should have done this from the beginning of the episode. Can't turn back time.

Regards,
Catherine alias Psyche

I really enjoyed this game until I got to the first colony episode. I chose the meadow one and when I got it completed and hit proceed the adventure stopped. I had to do to reboot the comp the get going again but could not get past that point in that adventure. I have tried redownloading it and everything, of course it could be user error but I even went so far as to delete the game and reload it with no better results. The file may be corrupted and need to be reuploaded. But it was a fun adventure until then and my thanks to the originator.

Jon
