Description             : My very first map, originally made for decino's
                          viewer submissions. The goal was to make a
                          HellRevealed-esque level.
                           I'd like to give my thanks to antares031 for
                          allowing me to use his DeHackEd scripts and
                          graphics from Struggle and Eviternity and for giving
                          me feedback on the level during our correspondence
                          about the Dehacked scripts. 
                          This wad uses his pistol, chaingun and assault
                          rifle scripts from Struggle. His former captain and
                          modified arachnotron are taken from Eviternity.
                          
                          For the weapons themselves, the  sprites are taken
                          from various sources listed on the menu
                          screen/credits textfile. The ammo crates/big bullet
                          for the AR are from Struggle.
                          
                          As for the map itself, it is a military compound
                          set in and around garden-like areas. 
                          The goal of the map is to just kill all the baddies
                          and survive. (I know, very original and well
                          thought out!)
                          Main inspiration are techbases from Struggle and
                          Doom 1 and outdoor designs from Hell Revealed,
                          Eviternity (ep. 2) and Eternal Doom.
                          As stated above, the plasma gun has been replaced
                          with an assault rifle, the chaingun with a faster
                          firing SMG and the pistol now has burst fire.
                          Inspired by Struggle, I've placed smaller pickups
                          in easy to reach places and decreased the maximum
                          ammo count with Dehacked to force player movement.
                          It is quite heavy on the monster count, but I've
                          attempted to make it fun, fair and balanced (so no
                          baron shotgunning or unfair ''learn-the-map-lol
                          traps'').
                          
                          Size: medium
                          Difficulty: medium to hard (difficulty settings not
                          implemented)
