A giant medieval arena sporting a chic looking castle, some quaint cottages (not of the thatched-roof variety, however) and rolling countryside - if you could describe blocky and amusingly articifial hills as rolling. It's still a kick-arse map, though - there's plenty of locations in which to hunt down, maim and grievously harm your opponents - with a whole bunch of weapons left considerately lying about. Plenty of fun to be had with this one - certainly a classic!

Medieval Times ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION: This has been my first fully-featured level but I think you'll notice in no time that it's not like those other levs you'll find on the net! Notice the intense detail, but please take your time and enjoy the lev. Medieval times took numerous hours to complete (not to mention time spent adjusting wall textures and shading). Foremost, I would like to mention that the inspiration to create such a level was a result of Nintendo's current release of Super Mario 64TM for N64 and Quake for the PC. Unfortunately, this level is not intended for one player mode and although it is considerably large many of you will soon find that the level is well suited for multiplayer gaming. I've added a few monsters in the castle's dungeon so keep in mind that if you want to add more depth to multiplayer games you should turn on the monster option. Those of you whom do not own Pentium based computers may not experience the intensity of a deathmatch, due to choppy frame rates. Keep in mind you should own a Pentium 90 or greater to play this level. Computers equipped with a Pentium 90 chip may experience frame rates as low as 12-15 fps in certain locations. Anyhow, enough with the big talk. I've implemented some unique secrets into the level to freak out your friends but don't blow your cover. Don't tell them at first! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECRETS: 1) The small house enclosed by a fence outside cannot be entered through the front door. However, you can enter by falling down the chimney. Remember to equip yourself with a jetpack because after you enter there is no other way out. Otherwise, if you forgot the jet pack you might as well murder your ass in the fireplace. If you blow up the frame hanging on a wall within the house you'll discover a holoduke. 2) Upon entering the second floor of the castle you will discover a small fireplace. Equip yourself with a jetpack, quickly walk into the fire, and then fly up towards the top of the ceiling. There you will find the devastator waiting for you. Secondly, if you take a glance up, just outside the fireplace, you will notice a chandelier hanging. Stand on it, call your opponent, wait there for him/her and kick ass! The dumb fuck won't know where the bullets are coming from. 3) Swim underwater and look for a passage leading up into the core of the island. Inside this small air pocket you will find a shotgun and some ammo. Look above these items to the side and you will notice a gray bar crossing over the corner of the ceiling. If you're the type that loves to cheat someone at least once you'll love this one. Jump up to the bar and press the spacebar. This will trick the other player into thinking that you are firing a shotgun elsewhere. The switch causes a shotgun sound to activate in the dungeon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous Info If you enjoyed the level please feel free to email me comments (good or bad!). If you've already played the level you'll notice that the address is written onto a particular wall: (MCARABA816[at]AOL.COM). By the way, I'm always interested in kicking someone else's ass in duke, so if you think you're a badass let me know.
