About This File

This level is set in a fortress, composed by two parts: the first is its newest building, with offices, a little hospital, a cemetery; the second part is the real fortress, with a huge courtyard, battlements, towers, a big library, a first aid, some warehouses, a dormitory, a refectory, a "church" and a "technology base" or "teleport base". I tried to make a multi-theme level, with a main texture (GSTONE1) and other various textures (such as wood, metal, tech textures, etc.). I used again the SP_HOT texture in the crypts, in order to make a sort of link with the first episode of this series. Someone couldn't like it, but I think it is a characterizing texture! Note my improvements compared with my first level of "Outpost of Hell" series: it is more detailed, more good looking and architecturely very fine. This .WAD was designed as a single map, but I had to divide the level into two different maps, because of WadAuthor limitations and errors. It will take you more than one hour to play it to the end. You need ZDoom to play this level correctly!

      Really good puzzle map in a big dark metal/stone building. It catches the atmosphere of Bob Evans' Eternal Doom stuff, and I think there are even some homages to some other Eternal Doom maps as well (for example, the big two-layered outdoor area looks a bit like the "amusement park" in MAP26).   In my experience the puzzles were a bit easier than in "Silures" or "Excalibur", but it's possible that having played a lot of puzzle map stuff since I played Eternal Doom, having played through the whole canon of Bob Evans and Jim Flynn, and liking to search for Doom secrets in every map has made me recognize certain tropes better. The puzzles I liked most were (the spoilers only give minor hints):
          Gameplay is good too, at the start ammo is scarce so the chainsaw and berserk are your friend, and midtiers say hello from the start on, but hitscanners are the biggest threat. Rockets should be saved for archviles until you find the first larger cache.   9,5/10

      Fun, challenging set of maps that looks much better than you might expect for the time it was made. These maps will still slap you around a bit on HMP if you're not staying sharp. The author is fond of Chaingunner ambushes which keep you on your toes. I didn't find the SSG until around MAP05, which was cool, I like when its not given out too early. Pistol-starting the last two maps is pretty tough, but doable.   The map designs do a really good job of letting the player see crucial areas from different angles through progression and the layouts are really tidy overall, and feel a bit more modern than a lot of other 94/95 maps I've played. There are some really nice large-scale vistas (like the start of MAP06), nice uses of verticality and a good mixture of tight and more open combat.   Recommended!

      Spectacular visuals and engaging combat make this an absolute must play. There's a puzzle with a "Shoot the thing" answer that kind of comes out of left field and can be an easy place to get stuck if you're not on your toes, but that hardly stops the map from being a thrilling masterpiece.

      E3M9's refrain of back-tracking to a church for keys is a little tedious, and there are a few moments where things can become a frustrating key/switch hunt as you figure out what to do next, but aside from that, this an intense and rewarding adventure with beautiful lighting and architecture.
