: is a module that tells the story of those companions of the Avatar who were missing without explanation after , as well as several other key characters from .

Pursuing agents deep into the bowels of and the ruins of the , the companion leads his party of former friends and companions of the Avatar into an unknown part of the world: Lost Sosaria, one of the continents of Old left missing after the death of the Wizard .

This project suspended development for a goodly while between 2005 and the present, and in fact Withstand the Fury Dragon has had to restart the module from scratch. However, he has revised his development plan, and feels confident that he can still deliver a good game with a large game world, this time using much more elegant tilesets.

Website: Ultima Legacy
Releases:
* Custom Data Files (516.2 KiB, 24 hits)

was a modified version of which could be played for free, set in a post- Britannia. Its premise includes the assumption that : Ascension did not happen, and out of that it has spawned a complex and involved storyline that included the Atarkan invasion of Britannia. Legacy doesn’t exactly form the backstory for the project entitled Ultima IX: Redemption, although there is a relation there as both projects were founded, in part, by Avatus Kingsman (although where he has gone to, none now know).

Joining Legacy was a bit of an involved process — the modified data files that were necessary for game play are provided here for download, but there was more to it than just that. For starters, you needed to own a copy of Ultima Online: The Second Age, and it was actually recommended that you have Ultima Online: Renaissance instead. Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn’s Revenge may also have worked.

The rest of the joining process was explained at the Legacy website. However, as of 2008, Legacy was being revised to tell a -based tale, and was also switching from the system to . The project website is now little more than a placeholder page.

* Ultima X: Medieval Deity Challenge (Civ III) (104.6 KiB, 14 hits)
* Ultima X: Battle for Britannia (Civ 4) (1.3 MiB, 17 hits)

General Maximus has produced an -derived scenario (in two forms) for , as well as an updated version of the Conquest scenario for . All are set in after the events of . The forms of the scenario are as follows (one appearing to be a more difficult version of the scenario than the other two):

Ultima X: Conquest

In the kingdom of Britannia, Lord British lost hold of his kingdom with breakway of the other seven city states now ruled by deviant warlords. Play as British under civilization group Bards. Forces and castles still loyal to you are now isolated in hostile teritory and may not hold for long. With news of the arrival of the hero of Britannia, the Avatar; the rebelion states begin marching towards Britain, the capital of Britannia for an pre-emptive strike. With the help of the mighty Avatar and his heroic companions, reclaim your entire kingdom!

Ultima X: Medieval Deity Challenge

In the kingdom of Britannia, Lord British (LB) lost hold of his kingdom with breakway of the other seven city states now ruled by independent warlords who were once friends of Lord British (LB) himself. Play as LB under civilisation group Bards. Forces or cities still loyal to you are now isolated in hostile teritory and may not hold for long. With news of the arrival of the hero of Britannia, the Avatar, the rebelions states has begin marching towards Britain, the capital of Britannia for an pre-emptive strike. With the help of the mighty Avatar and his companion Iolo, reclaim your entire kingdom!

Ultima X: Battle for Britannia

Battlecrys are once again heard in the ancient kingdom of Britannia. Lord British has lost hold of his kingdom with the breakaway of seven city-states. Lord British who preaches the Way of the Avatar and its Eight Virtues is now under siege in the city Britain that is being attacked from all sides. The renegade states are under the influences of a rising movement known as The Fellowship and Britannia is not big enough for both. The mutinuos city states are some lead by warlords who were once companion of the Avatar who have turned against him. Once again, the Avatar, champion of Britannia is called upon to fight off the hostile forces against Lord British.

The second form of the scenario seems to be more combat-oriented, and provides fewer allies/companions for the player.

This is a mod for (with the release of , expect these to become more and more common) that seeks to merge and into one seamless narrative. Additionally, it will feature a third continent — the — and a series of quests that the and his/her party must complete there.

This is an ambitious remake (and also a spin-off, within the technical definition of the term), to be sure! In addition to the expanded narrative, the developers plan to re-introduce the Virtues to the lands of (i.e. the Avatar will once again be able to interact with the Shrines). As well, they plan to overhaul the spellcasting system and to enable party members to wield spellbooks.
