Description : All maps are:
(i) medieval-themed, and generally very large
compared to typical DooM maps;
(ii) non-linear and feature multiple paths;
(iii) feature castle and fortress architecture,
fights on an epic scale, and magnificent vistas.
Maps 08-10 can be played in any order within the
hub, and powerups & enemies are different in any
given map depending on whether you play it first
or play it after entering from another map. This
provides additional replay value.
This is a 7-map demo. TeamTNT intends to create
a full megawad next.
Tested with ZDooM and GZDooM
IMPORTANT INFORMATION : Maps 08-10 constitute a hub, and MUST be started
from Map 08.
To ensure proper gameplay do not use the IDCLEV
cheat code to warp to any of the maps in the hub.
(i.e. *DO NOT* begin the game by warping to Map 09
or 10). Doing so will mess up the scripts and will
leave you stuck in the map to which you warp. [You
can warp to a map just to look around if you wish]
To ensure proper gameplay do not use the IDCLIP
cheat code to leave the intro area or the hub area
in Map 08. Doing so will mess up the scripts and
will leave you stuck in the map.
To ensure proper gameplay do not use the IDKFA cheat
code to get weapons in the hub. Doing so could mess
up the scripts and will leave youstuck in the map
in which you used the cheat code. [This is
particularly true of the chainsaw, as once you've
gotten it through the cheat code you cannot pick it
up in the map. This could prevent you from being
able to leave the map.]
For co-operative play read the text file coop.txt
before playing.
