Description             : A full QUAKE map, that's like a base.
                          It's ready to go with single playing,
                          deathmatch and coop. Please, read the

                          Jim Lowell for helping me out
                          with Thred, without Jim's help
                          this level wouldn't have been
                          possible. Thank you Jim :)

* Other Info *

This is THE latest map I've made with Thred and I really think that it's
the best I've done so far. It includes a few wind brushes, which are
probably morely known as jump-lifts. You've certainly seen those in The
Wind Tunnels or in Critters. And of course, it has a few things in it,
that you haven't seen in my previous maps. I also used grouping for my
first time in this map. So, it allowed me to make this map bigger and
more detailed, than my previous ones. Because of that, this map should
be even more enjoyable to play :)

If you somehow manage to find the second secret, which is very unlikely,
you'll see that there's no use in finding that secret on single play mode.
I designed it purely for deathmatch to improve the deathmatch play a little
bit :)

Ok then, you start from the basement and fight your way onto the top, while
killing all of those, who are standing on your way. The exit lies on the
other part of the base, between those two parts of the base, there's a
fairly large outdoor area. I've also included some caves to this map.
I think this is one of the first base styled maps, that includes caves.
Hope you like 'em :)

The exit of this level takes you to The Tower of Despair, which is one of
the greatest levels ever created! Thank You Sandy.

I'd love to have mail from anyone regarding this level :) If you have any
comments, questions etc... PLEASE, E-mail to hannu.koiste@pp.inet.fi (I just
love feedback :). I will reply to all, who take the time to send me E-mail.
