This is a much improved version of my original DeathMatch Pyramid

map for the Heretic II Demo. It's good for 3-8 players.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's new:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I added all the full version's weapons, took out the teleport spell

(because I hate it :), added a few new areas, and improved architecture

all over the map. It's simpler, but more elegant. The light sourcing

makes more sense, and I deleted that cheesy waterfall. There are 2 more

shrines, and a few new textures.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)Unzip to your Heretic II directory\base\maps

2)When in Heretic II, bring down the console (~ key) and type MAP DMPGOLD

3)You're in!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gameplay/Strategies for this map (There is quite a bit of strategy involved)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(I thought up most of these because while playtesting my friend Steve was

kicking my ass with Phoenix Bow and I couldn't win on my own map!)

-If you've just been killed by a phoenix bow guy ,grab the Thunder Blast and

Meteor Swarm, run out there and surprise them. They're probably wounded

already, and all you have to do is jump around lots and blast them.

-Fire the Storm Bow (preferably powered up) to where players teleport to get

Iron Doom. Someone is *always* trying to come through there and use Tomed

Iron Doom to bash everyone. When they come through they'll receive some

nice lightning.

-When being chased in the tunnels on the way to the Health Shrine, pull out

your blade, and hide in the dividers. You can easily get behind your pursuer

and slash them to death.

-The Sphere Of Annihilation is in the map, it's just hard to find. There's a

crawl tunnel somewhere (not mentioning any specific locations) that leads to

it.

-The Ring Of Repulsion is so underrated. Use it wisely.

DooM:

-----

I messed around with maps lots, but never came up with anything good enough

to release.

Duke Nukem 3d:

--------------

Didn't like the setting, but I got some new textures and made some levels.

- DCastle - A deathmatch map consisting of 2 castles facing each other, one

dark, one light, seperated by a moat.

- Rock - A huge medieval deathmatch level with a castle, a cathedral,

crypts, sewers, dungeons, a village, and a graveyard.

- Dark Ages - a Single Player and DeathMatch map. Basically a medieval

village with docks, warehouses and an underground Citadel.

- Millar - a DeathMatch map which is a model of where I then worked.

- The Devil's Arena - a small DM map with a lot of lava and rocket launchers :).

-----

Quake

-----

I love Quake 1. I did a lot of unfinished maps for it, but came up with these.

- The Goblin City - A Quake mini-conversion, a Village besieged by Goblins,

which had a new monster (The Goblin), 2 new weapons (Mace and Bolt Launcher)

and a lot of new textures. A few friends helped me with the modeling and

programming.

- 5 maps for An Old, Old Evil - This Quake TC was never released, and I did 5

maps for it. Bummer. Maybe it will someday see the light of day.

Heretic II

----------

The demo version of this map, and this map itself.

Right now I'm working on a Mines level that will support Single Play, Co-op,

DeathMatch and BladeMatch.

I also plan on contributing a map (or 2 if I have time) to the Heretic 1 Total

Conversion.
