Review by Fernando Márquez on 17th September 2007
For the first time ever, a WGRealms TC map has been bunged on the server, which belongs to none other than Beerz! Quite a huge improvement we can appreciate on this masterpiece. Everything seems to be quite near perfection (plus custom art is bundled as a highlight for the level) - except maybe it's too big and rushed Dukers may not be glad to complete it. Still, anybody who wants a true challenge and have some good time may want to check this out!
Review by Kim Robinson on 27th March 2008
An absolutely bloody enormous level from none other than DNR resident Numan, to work with WGRealms (so you'll need this to play). The vastness of this open plan city level allows you to explore to your heart's content, which is exactly the kind of thing a lot of Duke levels lack. You've still got to find and hit switches, use keys and generally avoid getting killed, so that much in essence is quite usual, but the level offers many possibilities and areas can generally be explored in any order.
The architecture is wonderfully imposing and the custom WGRealms art has been suited to the city theme quite well, not mentioning the extra art which Numan has supplied in this map. I cracked a smile or two in the mall area when I noticed the names of a few business, along with the art to match, and there's oodles of secret areas and hidden (and cryptic) messages to keep things interesting.
Ammo isn't scarce, so to speak, but you're generally never given more than you need. If you suddenly come across a large stash of firearms be very wary, as a barrage of freshly spawned lizard troopers or something are sure to be headed your way. Running around is generally the best option - never stand in the same place for too long or something is bound to "have at you!"
If long, expansive maps aren't your thing, avoid this one. However if you're up for a challenge and enjoy being forced to hit the save key now and then, give it a go - now!

*Important Information*
Installation : Make sure you have the latest Jonofport installed because this map

increased the old building

SkyBox : Copy from here and paste the JPG. textlines to the Duke3D DEF. file,
then make a textures folder, put the JPG's pictures in it
and add this all to your Duke3D WGR folder:
defineskybox 199 2 0 "textures/199_2-front.jpg"
"textures/199_2-right.jpg" "textures/199_2-back.jpg"
"textures/199_2-left.jpg" "textures/199_2-top.jpg" "textures/199_2-bottom.jpg"
Important Notes : This user map is build for polymost 32 bit with skybox
and can also be played in classic mode (8 bit) but some places could be too
dark.
It's been made compatible with the new High Resolution Pack,
I made the cracks in the walls more clear so you won't get stuck... ;)
