Thief: The Dark Project is an excellent game, which could be converted to Mount & Blade. Last week, I started working on this mod. Note that it won't slow down the progress of Song of Taliesin - I'm just doing it to take a break from historical things. Thief: The Dark Project won't be a big mod, but after completing my another project, I may decide to expand it. You'll be able to visit the City in Mount & Blade.
Storyline
You start the game as minor thief Garret, who came to The City in search of new loots. When we meet our hero, he is going to break into the wealth merchant's possesion. Yes, I know it's different from original story, but later the main story will be nearly the same. We brake into house without problems, but we hear loud shouts somewhere near. Few seconds later, the town guards batter down door and soon they attack Garret. Homever Garret have only a dagger and club, so he quickly fall down. The guards imprison him in city dungeon.
Now we must escape from dungeon. There are several ways to do it - one of way is to knock down guard, when he is bringing us a wooden bowl with food. Then we must sneak in the net of corridors and come to exit. The guards have special patrolling roads and they don't change them, except when we encounter them. Ibanez has made a great script, which is very useful for this mod. When we are in particular distance from the guards, they spot us and draw their swords. But if we have higher level of new skill "sneaking", the distance could be shorter.
The other script, that I'm going to implement is changing Garret's speed. There are three levels: sneak, walk and run. For example, sneaking is very slow but guards probably won't spot you quickly. Running is very fast and it's useful when the enemies are chasing us.
When you are at end of dungeon, you can kill one of guards to get his armor. Then, you can unhurriedly leave this place. In next quests, you'll visit other places known from Thief: Lord Bafford's Manor, famous Haunted Cathedral (with zombies and haunts), the Lost City and completely new ones!
