A map with a purpose, well a double purpose if you count the thought required to pass it - Taamalus is very well conceived level with action aplenty and superbe gameplay. Level design is top-notch with some neat effects, there's a couple of odd textures but it's fun all the same. A must for any serious Duker!

Art Editor(s) Used : None

Known Bugs/Problems : I have no sound card. The sounds in this map may sound
incorrectly.
=====================================================================
*Important Information*
Installation : If you got Duke version 1.5 do nothing, and just load the
map! The attached game.con has three minor effects added. The map will play without
it just fine in 1.5. If you want to get the effects and got 1.3 simply back up your
current game.con and install the attached one in your Duke directory.
Important Notes : To avoid past complains regarding the lack of routing, I
will issue a simple map with one route meanwhile this is map it ;)
Some secrets contain important stuff like the devestator. Keys (also bordeline
secrets) which are hard to find, provide access to other weapons. If you are not into
finding secrets, I isued a spoiler text file for secrets.
