This level has actually been underway for more than a year. After having
some problems I decided to redesign the entire level from scratch,
which took about three months to do on and off.

The initial courtyard was twice as long as it is now - with eight columns instead
of the four you see year. There were all kinds of problems with graying out,
which was one of the reasons I redesigned the whole level.

I think the ammo balance it pretty good. My beta testers found the ammo to be
tight, so I beefed up some of the ammo packs. I can get through on the most
difficult setting and have shotgon shells leftover. Nevertheless you may wish
to be conservative with the ammo.

Please email me and let me know if you like this level. This was a lot of work,
and I would like to know what you think. I'm also curious as to how many people
are still out there playing quake.
