This sounded too good to be true - so I tried it! It's pretty
good, works well, and is well worth playing but I think your
rating is a bit OTT! ;)    Considering the high standards in
many FMs I'd give it a well-deserved 85 out of 100. To put that
in perspective, I reckon the best FMs I've played are Calendra's
Legacy at maybe 95 out of 100 for EACH of the first two
missions, and A Keeper of the Prophecies, Part 1, Hallucinations
at maybe 93. Hard to compare roses and tulips as CL1 is probably
the most beautiful graphically whereas Hallucinations I consider
the best for spoken dramatic scenes and voice acting and at
least very close with CL2 in respect of story unfolding within
the mission (rather than an intro text file)

Anyway, the other main reason I'm posting is to ask, did you or
anyone, complete this on expert? If so, any tips as to loot? I
had well over the required 1000 but could only find 100 out of
200 gems. It might be a single item I guess. Do you recall any
particularly hard to spot gem?
