Description:	I believe this level is up to the standard of iD. It is a very smooth, enjoyable and challenging single player level. It is not a pathetic 1 room full of monsters level, it's a full level of explorable and interesting rooms. I'd describe it as a small castle and a base of some sort, that slide together really well. While the size of the level isn't huge, it has a lot of things to do, and should take about 15 - 20 minutes to complete first time around. For the first time you play on this level, I suggest to start at skill 2. Once you learn and know the level, higher skill should be attempted. Also, remember to SAVE often.

Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	Very long. I'd say about 60-80 hours in total.

Bugs:	Cleaned em all up.

Anonymous	The author makes some big claims in his readme, but the map is surprisingly good. The only real problem is that it's very cramped and a bit fiddly, with back-and-forth keyhunting. And there are some misaligned textures. Apart from that, it's an entertaining simple medieval-style level that looks like a LEGO castle (apart from a small crate area) that plays decently and takes very little time to finish.	x

Misc. Author Info       : This level was 99% complete about 6 months ago but
                          I never really got around to finishing it for public
                          release.

This is probably my best and last Doom work, as I
                          just completed a commercial Quake project 
                          (www.planetquake.com/impel) and now moving on to 
                          bigger and better things.
