Synopsis

Fiasco at Fauchard Street is a small/medium-sized fan mission whose original purpose was to illustrate the virtues of speedbuilding and using simple, newbie-friendly construction techniques to create architecture that nevertheless looks nice and offers a good playing experience. The process and the experiences are detailed in the Editor's Guild thread; over time, the mission grew by about 30% from the initial concept, but also came to include some new content/ideas. I would like to thank my betatesters, whose work has been invaluable in the mission's completion: Bikerdude, Premier and Sotha.

Series

The FM is part of Melan's Talbot series.

This is the second mission in the TDM Talbot series, though the third mission in the overall Talbot series by Melan, hence the number (most of the other FMs in this series are not built in TDM's engine; see Trivia section).

This mission was preceded by the FM Talbot 2: Return to the City.
