Description:	This level is basically a large arena where you get to test your skills against all the monsters, and very large amounts of them too. It's meant to be completed without saving, but you probably have to train and try different tactics before you manage that. The order in which different monsters are released is very non-linear, and you need to find the order that works best for you. This gives the level an element of strategy. Unless you play at the easy difficulty settings, you will not get enough ammo to kill everyone yourself, so you need to get the monsters to kill each other. This is everyones fight against everyone else. Will you be the survivor? Note that the level is located on map29 (to get the right sky and music). Run with -warp 29, or use the cheat IDCLEV29.
Credits:	Everyone making good Doom levels for me to play!
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	What little spare time I've had during the last few months.

Anonymous	Wouldn´t have hurt to put in more resources on UV, and the archviles near end are an overused clichee, but I like these kind of maps so 4/5	x
Anonymous	Basically it's "Serious Sam Doom", a large square arena into which a load of monsters teleport. Fun on that level, although there are lots like it, and it's marred by a too-long introduction that doesn't fit the rest of the level. It's easy to get trapped underground in this bit if you are too enthusiastic when hunting for secrets.	x
Anonymous	ok i no what your thanking not anuther shitty looking arena packed with monsters to fite with your pistle well this is nuthing like that this is actuly the best arena base level iv ever seen and im shure you will agree dont missout on it	x

Description             : This level is basically a large arena where you
                          get to test your skills against all the monsters,
                          and very large amounts of them too. It's meant to
                          be completed without saving, but you probably
                          have to train and try different tactics before
                          you manage that. The order in which different
                          monsters are released is very non-linear, and you

                          you will not get enough ammo to kill everyone

Graphics                : No

Demos                   : No
Other                   : No
Other files required    : No

* Play Information *

Game                    : DOOM 2
Map #                   : MAP29      <--NB!
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative             : Yes. Special care taken and extra sectors added to
                          make sure it works, but it is still possible to get
                          stuck in multiplayer. Just make sure everybody knows
                          the level in advance, and it should be great fun!
Deathmatch              : Yes, but not made for it. See above.
Difficulty Settings     : Yes. Intended to be played on "Hurt me plenty". The
                          easier levels have almost as many monsters, but much
                          more health and ammo, good for practice. UV is for 
                          the experts who want an extra challenge.

* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch
Build Time              : What little spare time I've had during the last
                          few months.

May Not Run With...     : The level is testet with zdoom and prboom. Because it
                          has a lot of things on screen at once, it's not a good
                          idea to use the original doom2.exe. Also, if you
                          release all the monsters at once, zdoom will crash with
                          a page fault (at least it does so for me).
