The team who has the King will score points the longer the King stays alive. Remember there can only be ONE King.

NOTES ON GAMEPLAY: - The King will glow. And should receive 50 health from the sword. - The King can't go undercover. - The Tax Strong Room need a key to enter, and dont say there to long or You will get locked, but only if you pick up the Taxes. - NO, messages will be broadcast concerning the Tax box, you'll only be Told after it's been stolen. It is stealing, so when it's there keep an eye out for thieves, espeicaly for spys. - The tax box will uncover spys, but they can go back undercover. - You move at half speed when carrying the heavy Taxes. - The Portcullis of each Castle can be open and closed by the switch in the room above the floor grate. - Keep an Eye out for the Secrets. NOTE ON MEMORY REQUIRMENTS: The file size of this level is quite large so it won't run with standard Quake 8mb data heap. (This is fairly typical of TF maps) You'll need to use the switch -winmem to give quake more mem, 16mb recommended. Or use WinQuake, with its dynamic mem alloc. Quakeworld users shouldn't have a problem. =============================================================== MADE IN NEW ZEALAND ===============================================================
