This is where I realised something was wrong.
I had a nagging feeling that I never got a message confirming all the champions had reached Journeyman level wizard, and I was half sure that this was something that happened.

So I watched my Part 1 video, and realised that I didn't resurrect Gothmog.
Now... In the original, Gothmog starts as a Journeyman wizard. In Dungeon Master X he starts at Apprentice level.
So I ran back to the start and found that Gothmog was a Journeyman wizard even though I hadn't resurrected him.
That's when I realised I was playing an earlier version.
With many of these dungeons, there might be a release followed by updated versions. The title shows up exactly the same on the dungeon list, so if you have more than one version of the same dungeon in your 'modules' folder, you can't tell which is which from the in-game selector unless the ceator has manually changed it. Unfortunately they are not backwards compatible, so I had to restart with the last version released and begin from scratch.

I wish that this had happened earlier, but it is what it is.
Fortunately, the versions are identical in gameplay and only different due to a couple of bugfixes.

Rather than re-record and re-edit everything, I decided to keep the first ten videos, play up to where I was at the end of part 10 in the proper version, and go from there.
For continuity, I got everything as close as possible to where I was in the other version.
You'll notice all of the armour, weapons, and everything in the inventory is the same, and I got the champions to the same levels in each discipline. The only very slight difference is in health, stamina, and mana because they're decided by RNG... but they are negligible.

Anyway... Onwards!
