Description:	This is one of the largest single level pwads in existance. The general setting is a wide-open city with many large buildings. The level is actually divided into 5 sections, each with a different purpose. The first is your main base, where the players start. This contains most weapons and a fair bit of power-ups. The second is a small central region which is used to gain access to the remaining three city-like areas. These must be opened in sequential order with keycards. The first main area is given the theme of fire, the second being water, and the third being earth. Basically, this level could also be called Elementl.wad as well. To beat this level you must defeat the Cyber-Boss, as well as a horde of other monsters.

Base:	New level from scratch.
Build time:	Yikes -- about 50 hours.

Anonymous	Awesome work! Very legendary! 5/5 - Dave Wilson, M.D.	x
Anonymous	It actually dates from March 1995, and so the claim to being "one of the largest single level PWADs in existence" is perhaps reasonable, although it's not large either by modern standards or objectively. It's a fairly dull, disjointed level of the period, unexceptional.	x

Minor update:
- converted the external lmp demo to Doom II v1.9
- fixed the demo because it was originally recorded on a different
  level than the map (map07). i.e. the map and demo would never have
  worked together!
- demo data:  skill 4 (Ultra-Violence), 14min 25sec, player killed.

This Wad has only one minor secret in it, so don't go feeling every wall
to see if you can find a Megasphere. Trust me, you won't. The reason
for the lacks of secrets is because of two things:

- By the time I had finished the basic structures of the level, WADED
  started to crash whenever I added another room. Unfortunatley, I
  didn't have any other WAD editors at the time, so I couldn't bypass
  this problem.

- I find CO-OP levels take long enough as it is, so I scattered plenty
  of powerful weapons and power-ups within plain sight, so you don't
  have to worry about searching every room thoroughly.

PLEASE distribute this WAD on the Internet if you have access. Although
I have an account, I'm unable to upload it myself. I wish this WAD to
become widespread, and I would be very grateful to anyone who does so.
