* LEVEL DESCRIPTION *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortress-themed Quake3 map in nightly setting, suitable for both tourney
and deathmatch ( though it plays best in FFA ).
Design Backgrounder
The first concept was a very small, very compact, fast-paced duel map,
about half the size of this. ( The included "nsn_lame" map is close to
the original if you cut it in half paralel to the X axis... )
Then I started adding rooms, expanding existing ones and soon it grew
this big. Don't let the symmetric layout fool you, learning to navigate
the map may take some time...
Lighting is designed with r_overbrightbits=1 and r_gamma=1.3 in mind.
Vertex lighting looks butt-ugly but that shouldn't be much of a surprise.
