New Level Pack - Lemmings Faithful

[Swerdis]

Progress was slow during the past weeks due to familiary obligations, but I still somehow managed to solve "Lemmings Faithful" just before the end of the year.
It was a good decision to leave my well-worn paths for this pack and tried to attack the talismans. I still think the talisman-solutions should be the "real" solutions as only they show the beauty of most of the levels.

My favourite rank is clearly the final one, "Treacherous". It's also the most difficult one and contains the best levels in my opinion. I especially liked Treacherous 4,8,9 and 10. Another candidate for the best level is Simple 8, I also really like Safe 5 and Tricky 1. While I enjoyed the latter one, I think that Tricky is the weakest rank.

Finally I have to praise the tilesets again. They are all great, my favourites are probably "Lush" and "Hoard".

Hi Swerdis, glad you've enjoyed my pack and happy new year!
Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for you to finish the pack before making a full reply, then I got a bit preoccupied with the holidays.


Here are the solutions I have the most to say about:

Spoiler

SIMPLE:
Fields of Gold - Really creative solution using a stacker staircase to go over the arrows at the start, well done!

House of Fun - This one's always a pleasure to watch people solve due to it being very varied with a limited skillset for the talisman.

Alabashter - Another very nice solution, nice work using a miner to make the staircase at the last obstacle.

Methane Meadows - People often get confused about the many restrictions for the talisman for this level. I should've made the talisman more explicitly clear - it's classic skills only, so no skills that were added in NeoLemmix.

Stepping Stones - Completing this one with only using 3 jumpers is quite impressive. The intended solution is to use the jumpers to jump from platform to platform, but I don't feel the need to enforce it too much, since this pack and especially this rank is supposed to be open ended. Well done!

Dodgy Plumbing - The basher staircase, as well as the miner/digger staircase in the second half of the level to obtain the talisman was fun to see!



SAFE:
Let's Get Down to Business - Another solution which was fun to watch. Very nice idea using the compression method to keep all the Lemmings from spreading out too much and losing time.

Diamond in the Rough - This talisman was originally gold, until I realised that it's much easier if you let the last Lemming collect the cloners, much like you did here.

Enchanted - WOW! This isn't actually the intended solution for the talisman, but it's seriously impressive. Well done!

Doors and Gates - Another level I love watching people solve, especially because of its deceptively tricky talisman. Great work!

Cursed Treasure - The neutralizer is here to enforce the 'one Lemming goes ahead while the rest stay behind' trick - it's very difficult to complete if they all go at the same time. The skill adder is there to make it harder to save every Lemming for the talisman.



TRICKY:
Shantytown - This level also differs somewhat from the intended solution, which I didn't think was possible due to the limited skillset. Well done for finding it!

Which Way, Mr. Scarecrow? - I'm surprised that so many people found this talisman difficult, it was absolutely not intended. There's a trick to win consistently that involves turning a Lemming around at the exact moment it touches a scarecrow. Still, nice solution and sorry for the tricky talisman!

Beware The Serpent! - As Kaywhyn pointed out in the comments, you did a similar solution to him which differs from intended. Still, it's a nice solution and you did disarm the snake. (This level mainly exists to show off the snake disarming animation which I'm proud of and think is funny )

Vive La Revolution - Boo! You didn't guillotine the zombies! (JK, any solution is valid, well done for finding this one! )

Fear Knot - Yet another level which is always fun to watch. If I recall, every person who has solved this has found a different solution



TREACHEROUS:
Long Shot - The talisman for this level is really nasty, and as far as I'm aware there's no other solutions. Great work for finding it!

Pumping Station - The level is by my brother, so I can't really comment on the solution, but this one's always really fun to watch. It's an absolute nightmare marathon to achieve the talisman, very well done!

Sacred Cloisters - Another talisman that I underestimated the difficulty of. Well done!

Bamboo Grove - This one is also by my brother. The reason it's surprisingly easy for its position is due to issues I had with level spacing - (I didn't want two consecutive levels to have the same style, resulting in odd pacing)

Pushing Up Daisies - Nice one! This one differs slightly from the intended solution for the talisman, but it's still impressive to watch.

Subjugation - Very impressive solution - you saved way more than was required!

Heard it through the grapevine - Another level by my bro. He's very proud of this one, and for good reason - it's an outstanding level like you mentioned. The talisman solution is correct, well done for finding it!

Ring of Fire - I'm very proud of this one. Glad you liked it, and very nice solution, even though it differs from what I intended.

Thanks once again for your playthrough and kind words!
