Misc. Author Info       : I would like to remain a mystery :-)

Description             : This level is basically a large arena where you
                          get to test your skills against all the monsters,
                          and very large amounts of them too. It's meant to
                          be completed without saving, but you probably
                          have to train and try different tactics before
                          you manage that. The order in which different
                          monsters are released is very non-linear, and you
                          need to find the order that works best for you.
                          This gives the level an element of strategy.
                          Unless you play at the easy difficulty settings,
                          you will not get enough ammo to kill everyone
                          yourself, so you need to get the monsters to kill
                          each other. This is everyones fight against
                          everyone else. Will you be the survivor?
                          
                          Note that the level is located on map29 (to get
                          the right sky and music). Run with -warp 29, or
                          use the cheat IDCLEV29.

* Play Information *

Game                    : DOOM 2
Map #                   : MAP29      <--NB!
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative             : Yes. Special care taken and extra sectors added to
                          make sure it works, but it is still possible to get
                          stuck in multiplayer. Just make sure everybody knows
                          the level in advance, and it should be great fun!
Deathmatch              : Yes, but not made for it. See above.
Difficulty Settings     : Yes. Intended to be played on "Hurt me plenty". The
                          easier levels have almost as many monsters, but much
                          more health and ammo, good for practice. UV is for 
                          the experts who want an extra challenge.


* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch
Build Time              : What little spare time I've had during the last
                          few months.
Editor(s) used          : WadAuthor, bsp
Known Bugs              : None, but read the next line...
May Not Run With...     : The level is testet with zdoom and prboom. Because it
                          has a lot of things on screen at once, it's not a good
                          idea to use the original doom2.exe. Also, if you
                          release all the monsters at once, zdoom will crash with
                          a page fault (at least it does so for me).
