Description             : Set of five well-balanced deathmatch wads.
                          Some special effects are there to increase
                          playability - special walls, lights, staircases, etc.

Additional Info:
* My primary goal was to create _balanced_ wad, where every weapon has roughly
  the same power. Even chaingun is equivalent to rocket launcher.
* Stylish appearance was my second goal - nothing too complex but well-honed.
* The third goal - to stretch DOOM limits a bit.  Old dog can learn some
  new tricks. Some of them have never been used in WADs before.
* Fourth goal - to please old deathmatch lovers without discouraging
  altdeath addicts. On some levels there are no health while on others
  it's scarce but enough to survive in altdeath mode.
* And the last goal - to add some good music to the good levels.

I think I have achieved them all ;-) Any feedback would be appreciated.

Special features:
MAP01: Sound-proof boxes you are born in.  Teleporters that lead to the single
       place - easy to kill when exiting from the red corridor.  Visual clues
       on the floor reminding you which side to turn and which corridor to run.
       All weapons except chainsaw and BFG.
MAP02: Twisted stairs.  Lava lift (triggered by walking over linedef) -
       useful for ambushes.  Doors with appropriate textures for easy
       orientation.  No health.  All weapons except chainsaw.
MAP03: Very special walls.  Some of them you can't miss (semi-opaque ones)
       and some are much more interesting - they can be shot through with
       energy weapons (plasma gun, BFG9000) and rocket launcher, but are
       bullet-proof.  All weapons except chainsaw.
MAP04: Nice lighting, one-way staircases.  Dangerous way to good weapons (but
       with skill and luck they can be taken with 0-20% of health loss).
       Hint: try to run at the very edge of lava.  Easily available - shotgun
       and chaingun, difficult to get - super shotgun and rocket launcher.
MAP05: The room is a polygon with 13 sides.  There are 7 big and 13 small
       columns with 7 sides each.  Black walls - very easy to spot your
       opponent.  Very bright lighting but all textures are extremely dark,
       so players of all colours are visible from any distance.  Eerie sight ;)
       No health.  All weapons except chainsaw.
