Description             :       A large Deathmatch designed with 
                          3 or 4 players in mind, but 2 players will have a 
                          blast too. Single play mode has monsters, but not 
                          many; this wad was constructed primarily for 
                          Deathmatches. 
                                Take a GOOD, LONG look around before 
                          Deathmatch play because of all the secret doors, 
                          lifts, etc. Take nothing for granted, a seemingly 
                          safe spot may have a false wall nearby hiding an
                          opponent with a rocket launcher!

                          **FOR DEATHMATCH YOU MUST USE SKILL LEVEL 1
                          OR 2, AND CO-OPERATIVE MULTIPLAYERS MUST USE SKILL 
                          LEVEL 4 OR 5** 

                                Single play is supported in all skill 
                          levels but 1 & 2 will have no monsters, these 
                          skill levels are reserved for Deathmatch: more 
                          ammo in the weapons and different weapons 
                          placement. The game will NOT run if you try, say, 
                          Deathmatch with skill level 3-5, or co-operative 
                          multiplayer with skill level 1-3. This was 
                          necessary to make the best scenario for each mode 
                          of play. Here's how it works:   
                                -Skill 1: SINGLE PLAY/DEATHMATCH, no monsters. BEST FOR DEATHMATCH.
                                -Skill 2: SINGLE PLAY/DEATHMATCH, with a 
                                little less ammo in each weapon than skill 1 
                                for a tougher Deathmatch. No monsters.
                                -Skill 3: SINGLE PLAY only. A few monsters,
                                but pretty easy. Added a few helpful items.
                                -Skill 4: SINGLE PLAY/CO-OP MULTIPLAYER,
                                more monsters than skill 3, pretty tough. 
                                -Skill 5: Same as skill 4 but monsters 
                                respawn. Nightmare!
                          For ANY multi-player game you must add the 
                          appropriate "-skill x" switch in the command 
                          line because DOOM2 automatically defaults 
                          to skill 3.
                          The "-nomonsters" switch is not necessary for
                          Deathmatches.

                                There is only ONE spot, between two lifts, 
                          that you can get trapped. If you do, the acid
                          floor will give you a slow and painful death.
                          There is a Hall of Lost Souls from which many
                          have not returned,
                                Beware...

* Construction *

Base                    : Scratch. 
Build Time              : Let me check the sundial outside my cave...
Editor(s) used          : DEU2 5.21 (I need a good nodes builder)
Known Bugs              : Very funny... however, this is a large wad with
                          large open spaces. Some slower PCs will have 
                          trouble with the main courtyard and long stairway.
                          This wad tested fine on a 486/100 with 16M RAM 
                          and a 1M video card.
