Description:	Urban legends (more precisely, money-seeking crooks) have been saying lately that there's an ancient Alien city lost in the midst of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. This is a great inspiration for a Doom map, anyway! This is a single map where the player progresses through all the weapons, from pistol to BFG and faces increasigly bigger monsters, until reaching the final boss battle. Difficulty settings are implemented. Ambience is mixed as this is a supposedly ancient but alien city. Expect to find urban, castle, dungeon, tech... Difficulty is not very high but the design is aimed at experienced players. Expect to have a good deal of workload in UV. Have fun!

Version                 : 3.0
Filename                : eohzratanaba.zip
Release date            : 2022-jul-31
Description             : This version aims to improve the ending of the 
                          previous Ratanaba map. The map received some good
                          reviews but the last arena was perceived as being too
                          cryptic and overwhelming, so I decided to create a
                          whole new ending to the map. This new ending is way
                          more conventional, but still fast-paced and action-
                          packed.

Several minor bugs (mostly involving texture 
                          alignments) were fixed in this version. Additionally,
                          few minor adjustments were made in the gameplay along
                          other parts of the map.

This is also the first version to bring two WADs, one
                          made for vanilla engines, and the other in UDMF format
                          with several aesthetic effects - tested on GZDoom.
                          Beyond that, both versions have identical gameplay.

Due to the way Gamers.org separate WADs for vanilla
                          Doom engine and WADs for Doom source ports, I found 
                          better to create separate files as well.
                          
                          So, the vanilla equivalent of this map can be found

Version                 : 2.0
Filename                : eoh-ratanaba-20.zip
Release date            : 2022-jun-26
Description             : Many improvements over 1.0, so I decided to promote 
                          the major version number to 2.0.
                          * The MIDI track was remastered to be gentler to the
                            player's ears (I was getting headaches from long
                            exposures to the track).
                          * Visplane overflow issue in Chocolate solved (was
                            caused by a needless easter egg - now removed).
                          * Extensive texture rework and testing, from simple
                            basic aesthetics to tutti-frutti issues solving in 
                            Chocolate. Now I hope the map is fully vanilla
                            compatible!
                          * Lighting in some sectors was improved.
                          * Added several traps and encounters to stir things up
                            a little more.
                          * One secret room added.
                          * Several tweaks in the final arena to make it easier
                            to to get the grasp of; linedef specials bugs fixed;
                            the main lift now provides a better protection
                            against enemy fire; a new lift was added close to
                            the entry point to access the upper aisles.

Version                 : 1.0
