Orenbega: Lost city of magic, bastion of the Circle of Thorns!

All shots are in 1024x768 res, and are around 150 to 170 kb.

The strange portals I have shots of are just like elevators in the office buildings, they transport you to a new section of the area. The glowing glyphs on them also flow around the rim of the portal.

The underground zones are HUGE in some spots, check out shot number 18 and 19.

I also like the Hand holding up the bridge (best seen in shots 19 and 21)

I am actually kind of annoyed, because the mission I was doing was a timed mission, and I am almost positive that it would have kicked off a souvenir (and what REALLY pisses me off is that I failed the mission because the place was a fucking maze, and when I finally found the entrance to the last room with the end boss I only had like 25 seconds on the clock :(  )

Do not despair, however, I believe I should be getting more missions on the same tile set from that person, so if any of you are going to be around on friday or saturday afternoon, I could bring you along for a tour (we might need to sidekick for survivability, as the mobs will be at least level 24, probably 25).

Yeah, the atmosphere of the place is just awesome.  The torches flicker convinvingly, the crystal formations glow with an eery green light and also hum when you get close, and occasionally dust falls from the ceiling as you walk by.

Really nifty place, kind of a myan/aztec city all buried underground.

Oh god yes the COT high level dungeons are some of the most impressive dungeons I have ever seen in any game. Some also have HUGE HUGE central areas with multiple paths winding up and around the central shafts.

Of all the tilesets the cot ones are some of the most awsome. I also like the higher level nazi bunkers which have a very good feel to them.

Oh forgot to mention the big COT dungeons will teach you to love tanks or people with stealth. There are many teleporters in some of these dungeons that often have BIG packs of mobs on the other side.

It really helps to have a stealther with teleport friend or a tank of some kind to pop through the portals first. I made the mistake as a defender of going first and I forgot my steamy mist. BOOOOOOOOM I got wacked in double time hurry hehe last time we made that mistake.

Yes, teleporting into a group of waiting nastys is not a fun experience.  Those are the days that I am glad i decided to go with Conceilment pool over Fintess.
