Description:	The evil Hordes have invaded the emporer's castle destroying the emporer's precious gardens and fortifying it for their own use. The leader of the Hordes is using this fortress to train an undead army of enslaved souls which he then intends to lead against this fair land, your homeland. As a member of the imperial guards you remeber your pledge to your emperor and vow to destroy these evil hordes in his name and retake his castle. Dare you step into the The Fortress and try your skill (Ultra Violence of course) against the evil hordes..... Nah! better go home and hide under the bed again like you did last time....

Base:	New level from scratch.
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	DEU ][, DEU 521gcc, BSP 1.2X, RMB 2.2
Bugs:	A Visplane error sometime occurs when you use one of the teleporter's it doesn't happen often and I'm not sure why it does happen. This wad may be quite slow on anything less than a DX2 66 in single player mode but it is deffinatly fast for 2 or 4 player deathmatch on any machine, (well its fast on my SX2 50 in deathmatch). The Secret counter doesn't work properly you might find more secrets than it shows at the end of the level. There are a lot of unaligned textures in this wad at the moments espescially on the doors please don't tell me about these because I already know ;) Thanx..... All of the textures should now be aligned but if you have any comments please send then to me at the address stated at the start of this file.

Anonymous	This wad is great fun :) Esch	x
Anonymous	This is dated December 1995. I was expecting the worst, but it's actually really good - there's loads of tough action from the get-go. It's great fun for a 1995 level and still fun today. The layout is very simple but large and non-linear. There's an absolute bastard hidden catwalk/soul sphere trap that (I think) is inescapable, but I grinned because it was so cruel.	x

Email Address           : Soon to be on Demon internet. Send your mail to 
                          Loki on either the Forest BBS or either of the 
                          Games Net servers.

Deathmatch              : Although this level may appear to be far to big
                          to play deathmatch on I have played it with several
                          people on the UK's multiplayer games servers and it 
                          runs quickly and is a pretty good laugh ;). This 
                          wad seems to run slowly on a 486 in 1 player mode I 
                          think that this may be due to the large amount of 
                          'Things' that I have on the level although it runs 
                          perfectly ok in deathmatch either with a direct modem 
                          connection, via a games server or on a Lan so enjoy.
                           For best results you really wanna play it 4 players 
                          on a Lan. 8^)<--< ..... BTW Feel free to give this
                          wad to whomever you like :)

HELP!!!                 : If anyone knows why this level runs slowly or could
                          fix it please do and/or let me know how to, I would
                          appreciate it. Thanx ..... BYE

Note                    : I primarily made this wad as a sinlge player 
                          level, I wanted to make it hard because so
                          many people complain that Doom ][ single player
                          is too easy, well this level is hard but not in
                          one of those 'ive got 50 Cyber Demons in 1 room' 
                          type ways, I can't stand those levels myself
                          theyr'e stupidly hard, altho after saying that
                          you will need to find most of the secrets in order
                          to have enough ammo to finish this one ;).
