Description:	This WAD is based on an AD&D campaign that serveral of my friends and I played for about three years. Aoxozoxoa was one of two wizards who escaped from a high security wizard's prison in the Crimson Empire. A party of experienced adventurers was hired to track these wizards down and either re-capture them or eliminate their threat before they could align with other dark powers. This WAD is a reconstruction of the original dungeon where our party slayed the Archmage.

Anonymous	i thought it was fun	x
Anonymous	Is there anything more geeky than a 1994 Doom level based on an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons campaign? There's a complicated co-operative mode but this basically amounts to a medium-sized maze with a couple of courtyards, and some rooms filled with monsters. If you teleport into the courtyard with the cyberdemon you can't get out. When I evaluate a level I ask myself if it is more fun than any random collection of rooms with monsters in; this isn't.	x
Anonymous	Yet another maze map, perhaps better than some others, but still basically a big maze.	x

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT COOPERATIVE MODE:

Players 1, 3 & 4 start at the beginning of the wad in the campsite.
They will be considered the "party."

Player 2 is the "Wizard" and he starts in the wizard's control room.
The control room is stocked with all the weapons, powerup, maps, keys,
etc.  The wizard can observe the party (F12 or by using the map.)  Also,
in the control room are a set of teleporters that transport the wizard to
various locations through the dungeon, where he can blast the party!  There
are also a set of switches in the control room.  One of these switchs opens
the door to the exit room.  This door normally requires a yellow key but that
key is blocked by columns in multiplayer mode. (The wizard character has one
though, he uses it to go into restricted passages to get back to the control
room.) It is recommended: if the party kills the wizard in the large throne
room, the wizard should push this button when he reappears in the control
room in order to let the party leave. Obviously the wizard will probably
kill party members serveral times before the last battle.  That is the
reason for the large number of supplies in the campsite.  (note that the
good weapons still have to be found in the dungeon. Also, the wizard
does NOT have access to the campsite because it is outside his lair.)

I felt that this would be an interesteing twist to cooperative mode. 
I have two friends that I normally play DOOM with, One likes DEATHMATCH
games and the other insists on cooperative (read: boring) mode, so I felt 
this was a good way to satisfy them both.  Please email me and offer any
comments or suggestions on this style of play. (or the level in general)
