>>THIS MAP REQUIRES DUKE PLUS 2.09 AND HIGHER TO PLAY!<<
(One of the newer used functions are the temp sprites and monster group tags.)
(Also, this map uses some monster group tags, dont mix them up with others in the
same campaign/Episode!)

Title                   : From Base To Base 2
Date Completed          : Fri 28 May 2010
Filename                : FTBT2.MAP
Author                  : CarThief
Email Address           : martijnverweg[at]hotmail.com (Just try to avoid asking
me things about the map several years after release, unless its important, i guess.
:P)
Misc. Author Info       : None i'd like to share.
Other Levels            : From Base to Base (part 1), Delivery To Hidden Base,
CYBERDMA, 
AASYLUMDM, other stuff.

Description             : After activating the self destruct, the doors closed.
As things exploded more violently, a nearby wall broke open, showing a Lizard
Trooper
trying to escape. The explosion finished it off, broke the keypad, and eventually
died down. Turns out there's more to this base, Duke's job is far from done.

Gameplay note: All the monsters use special AI and some even have strong abilities.
For example, some will teleport behind you, explode while close or killed while
begging(lizard troopers only). What they shoot may change as well
Oh yeah, after the event after you put the fuses in the wall box, two paths will
open,
each lead to another path, thought it might be fun for replay value. Though they
arent
too large (blame EDuke limits :P).


Somewhat unrelated notes: I basically built this map for myself, but i hope others
enjoy it.
As much as people are gonna complain about how the map looks, i'm fine with it and
that's
just fine for me, detailing is more or less my own opinion and right.
Detailing sticks to the previous map's style, but there's atleast more different
area's
to be found in this map. Though i may have repeated some elements i liked from the
previous map.

Tips if you're stuck:
----------------------------
(>>>SPOILERS!!<<< May want to read after trying/playing!)
Sorted in order of what you encounter from first to last.

During the first, uh, miniboss, or so to speak (a large structure with lizard
troopers on
top, encountered for the first time), if those lizard troopers get annoying, try
throwing
a spare pipebomb to take them out in mass. Saves lots of shotgun bullets. Boxes are
vital
cover against the 3 different guns the machine uses to shoot at you. They only have
limited
ammo though (see below, at bugs).

There's also a possibily nasty suprise attack from 3 octabrains as you enter the
last
area outside. Though they are immune to bullets and projectiles while, uh,
transparant,
they do recieve damage from explosions! So if you got any spare pipe bombs...
Hehe...
Of course you could give them a facefull of lead when they pull you to eat you as
well.
They are vulnerable while performing any attack, make use of that. :P

Having trouble at the tunnel after the outside area battle?
Try throwing some pipebombs, and watch your back, the Lizard men
WILL try to teleport behind you, in particular near the tank. Dont be afraid to use
steroids, the RPG or other powerfull weapons/items if you're in a sticky situation.

During the final battle, if the Battlelords prove tricky, try using steroids and
the
not-yet lowered pillars as cover. Oh, and if you have trouble with the last part in
there
(where the pillars lower and uncover machines that shoot thunder, try jumping to
dodge.)

Also, during when the second door opens, it will show a large structure with many
turrets.
Basically, destroy the turrets to blow everything up, including the Lizard Troopers
on top.
A adviced weapon is the Duke Plus enhanced Freezer. As the turrets are explosive
resistant.
Picking them off with bullets costs time and health, oh, the pillars suit well as
cover.
Unfortunately i think the enhanced freezer requires 32 bit... Meh.
And if the Lizard troopers annoy you, try using the RPG or pipe bombs to take them
out.

* Play Information *

Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-8 Player	: Yes(With teleporters)
DukeMatch 2-8 Player    : Nope, no spot for that.
Difficulty Settings     : Yes, though they do not affect certain encounters.
Note: Come Get Some can prove to be quite hard. Safe often.

Assumed play time	: I'd say about 30 mintes or so if you dont rush it and
			loot places. Or i'm just slow, i guess.

Atomic Edition Required : Yes!
New Sound               : Nope. Though Duke Plus might replace some sounds.
New Music               : No, sorry. Feel free to use your own.
New Art                 : This map uses a little art from Duke Plus.
Modified CONs           : Uh, no. Unless that includes Duke Plus. :P
Demos Replaced          : None.

* Construction *

Base                    : From scratch.
Build Time              : Estimating from the earliest file, 6-7 months on and off.
Editor(s) used          : Mapster32 (I actually used a new one because
they ACTUALLY fixed the grid! And some nice new functions apparently.)
Known Bugs              :
* Sometimes, when putting a Fuse where it belongs, it adds several
while it only should add one at a time! (Needs 4 fuses total.)
* Also, in the garage area, the Lizard men may jump through the glass (only in one
area,
there's two).
* Technically not a bug (aside shooters not being destructable while they should be),
but
shooters will not stop unless they run out of ammo. And might not shoot while you're
taking
cover. So... Be prepared to dodge some shots after some encounters, possibily.
* It is possible some monsters that are vital (in a way of carrying a keycard or
required
to kill in order to trigger an event) will teleport and simply get lost and/or
stuck.
Unfortunately, you may need to reload or cheat to solve this, doesnt happen alot,
though.

May Not Run With...     : Anything that is not Duke and Duke Plus compatible.
			So... Try using Eduke.
