About This File
This is a small Heretic DM map modeled after the second battle arena in the SNES game Super Mario Kart. I've included the music from that map, as well as the same layout. The design leads to lots of fast-paced battles as you can always see the other players!
I have made some small changes since the last version to accomodate more players' tastes and to balance things a bit more. The Morph Ovums proved to be devastating in such a wide open area, so I removed them. I also took out the Tome of Power because it was very easy to exceed the maximum visible sprite limit with it. The exit is now in the middle, since not everyone wants to have a timer to leave a map.
In addition, there are now enemies on skills above Easy. On Medium difficulty, a few Gargoyle Leaders appear over the water and attack. On Hard, there is now a Maulotaur in the arena! While he can't get close enough to dash or use some of his other moves, the flames he CAN use prove to be a major pain. Only recommended for DM players who seek a challenge.. of course you can always turn off monsters or play on a lower skill level if these creatures bother you.
Note that since this level is E6M1, you'll need to use the warp code (engage), or the '-warp' command line parameter.
