Wow! Some people understand neither English nor German. I want to thank Dragonlady for her intelligent and pertinent comments. They stood alone amongst a mire of pure muck.

I'm am a VERY experienced player with this game. Too bad I'm not some numnut like people have written to on here.

I DID wait. It NEVER changes!!!!!! What part of that is unclear!?!

I agree that it must be a bug. Yes. The stronghold looks in-game (from my character's standpoint) like the first stage, even though my map shows all the doors in the second stage and then the third stage, respectively. What my character sees NEVER changes from the first stage even though the second stage is supposedly complete and even after the third stage is supposedly complete. Why in the 9 rings of Hades should I continue to wait AFTER the third stage is supposedly complete?? Is my journal lying to me???

Crow and Magicflame, it NEVER CHANGES!!!! I don't see what is so unclear about that concept. I'm smart enough to know the difference between when a project is underway and when it is marked as complete. I'm a member of Mensa Deutschland for crying out loud!!!

Sorry if you find this rude, but I have 2 university degrees from the USA and have played the American version of this game literally dozens of times - until it shattered in my harddrive one day. Eight years of being treated like an idiot by people who have tops 11 to 16 years of education when I have 21 years of education is a maddening experience. You get on a forum and it just continues.
