Description:	This is an awesome "1-level-hub" which is tough, beautiful, and complete. The architecture is nice, the enemies are numerous, and it'll give you a good challenge, especially on the top skill level.
Credits:
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:
Editor(s) used:	HETH (in my opinion, the BEST level editor, better than DEEP) ZenNode 0.9 (the best nodes builder) ACC (for the scripts)
Bugs:	None now...I fixed the bad sky texture...let me know if you find one.

You can mess around with it I guess, but don't distribute it with your
changes.  At least not under the same name.  You can include it on a CD or
whatever, just let me know, and give me credit.

� Tips on completing this WAD �
�����������������������������ͼ

1. Look for the secret switch at the very beginning
2. Remember any symbols you see
3. One of the hardest parts of this WAD is getting into the second castle,
   in other words, getting past the monsters guarding the bridge.  My advice
   is to rush the Stalkers and kill them up quickly, and then focus on
   everything else.  If you don't do this, they will whoop you quickly with
   their projectiles.
4. When fighting the mage boss, save him for last.  It will make life much
   easier if you stay as far away from him as possible until you're ready.

That's it!
Remember, I'd love to hear any comments on this WAD (a1056@mail.public.net).
