It has been two years since the Battle of Fort Highmarch, and in that time fears about the King's newfound power have slowly come to fruition. Aielund is at constant war with it's neighbors, but with all sides weary and spent, the war is at a stalemate with no end to the suffering in sight. And with King Seamus slowly losing his grip on reality, something must be done.
A rebellious faction is growing in the land, led by the King's own daughter, Criosa. Somehow, you and the others must find a way of removing the King from the throne before his power-hungry madness leads to the destruction of the entire Kingdom. This new version requires the Aielund hakpack v2.0 to work properly.
Here's a strange glitch: moving between modules 3 and 4 (from Ironlord to Fall of Aielund) suddenly my character appearance is changed. For the first three modules, character appearance was carried over with no problems. Now, when I move from "Ironlord" to "Fall of Aielund pt. 1" my character went from the large human male (the burly-looking model) to the thinner human male. Not a huge deal, but it kinda sucks.

Adored this saga so much I couldn't resist bringing my rogue/cleric over from HoTU to go through Pt IV again. Have just realised though that I probably can't initiate the Robert Black romance as it was set up in Pt III. Anyone know if I can cheat? I suspect I might be able to spawn a flower, if I knew how (am technically incompetent...) Any suggestions gratefully received!

How do you top the epic scope of the original Aielund trilogy? By making it more personal while offering further advancement possibilities. This first part of the final act of the Aielund saga introduces more complex political themes, in which the player is unavoidably mixed up, and further broadens the Aielund world, introducing Myrfell in Tusone and some other newly accessible areas. The conflict is not as easily defined as in the first trilogy and, while the plot is linear, it makes sense and carries you as the player along with it. One of the best cutscenes I've ever experienced occurs towards the beginning, in Fairloch - although it's not a particularly enjoyable one for your character. Props to the mod author for the largely balanced combat design and handling of the PC's equipment after the first part, which I found to be fair. I had some minor issues with the desert fights, finding it hard to believe that a band of not-particularly-special desert warriors could take on several 20+ level PCs and win unless you were careful, but that was the only real combat scaling problem I had. Other encounters were interesting and the end battle was exciting and required some thought in how to approach it.

Short and forced but it still made me want to continue onward.

Allthough IV - 1 was the shortest part of the series so far it was also the best. The story moved away from the monster headhunt of parts 2 3. Less dragons was also much apreciated. Being stuck in the desert with almost no gear was an evil twist. I enjoyed that evry much. Slaughtering that first Aielund platoon came as some sort of anger therapy for my char, I guess. Can't wait to start part IV - 2.

Yes magical master, I think you must be right and i did get it in act 3. Just trying to do my part for these great mods and at least give SOME input/feedback. I'm probably screwed up on when some things happen. :) I do know that I've also come across a deathwind in act iv part two. With the fact that the crippling strike feat can't be used with a missle weapon it takes that bow from beign pretty damn good, to ...not so much. Thanks for the reply MM.

No, I just think the author didn't think of that. But you got that weapon back in Act 3, aye?

An excellent module in an excellent series. I'm not sure if this is the place to post this but here goes...perhaps a spoiler warning.. The Deathwind bow, it grants the crippling strike feat. As far as I know, crippling strike is not applied with missle weapons. Perhaps this has been changed in this mod via scriptmagiks or something. Just something I'd like to point out.

See my vote on Act IV, Pt. 3 for comments on the series as a whole.
