Description             :a small single player level for Doom2.
                         You start in a castle surrounded by several 
                         armies of evil. With a shock you realize that
                         there's no gate you could close to keep the 
                         hellish troops outside. Fortunately, your enemies
                         are not very disciplined...
                     >>> I modified this level for deathmatch play (DDSOIL-
                         DM.WAD): there are no monsters, no health except
                         for two soul spheres that are difficult to receive
                         and more weapons than in the original level.
                         However, you may deathmatch in DEADSOIL.WAD too;
                         the starts are there.

* Notes and Hints *

You sure will enjoy the unusual gameplay of this level. Remember: some-
times it is better to run away than to fight. I suggest that you try to
beat this level in ultra-violence without saving (and, of course, with-
out cheating). You need some luck, but it's possible and, believe me,
it's fun.
There are three secrets in this level.
If you have FINAL DOOM, load this Wad with PLUTONIA. The PLUTONIA-sky
looks great on this level.
