SOSU Posted December 29, 2017 I am looking for WADs to get inspiration for cave environments and cities from,can you recommend me any? (I prefer Heretic WAD recommendations over Doom ones but both are fine) 0 Share this post Link to post

reflex17 Posted December 29, 2017 ABBEY3.wad for Heretic does both, it was one of my favorite wads back in the early 90's. It starts in a small fishing village (only 3 or 4 buildings but well detailed for the time) complete with player start in a little boat The second level has caves, and again they are relatively small maps, but the real standout section is a valley with cave entrances on either side. It feels like some den carved out by monks or something like that. 2 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted December 29, 2017 Both old and new maps by @Lutz have very good caves. 4 Share this post Link to post
dugan Posted December 29, 2017 Alien Vendetta had some absolutely mind-blowing cave levels. 2 Share this post Link to post
Halfblind Posted December 29, 2017 In my honest opinion most community made maps for Heretic had horrible cave levels. Riot Control by Dutch Devil for Doom had a very good cave segment on the last level. Hyperion Invasion by Kenon had some good city architecture. Heretic Treasure Chest E2M8 by Rf was a very well done cave. HYMN: A Heretic Community Project E1M7 by Xaser was a humongous city map. Icebound by Christopher Lutz had some wonderful cave action. Heretic - Curse of D'sparil by Kristian 'Kristus' Käll maps E3M2 and E3M4 are my top favorites in the wad. E3M2 was set in a nice medieval city. Eternal DOOM IV: Return from Oblivion Map27 by Espi for doom, Everyone should check out this map. It has it all, is extremely well crafted and is just freaking amazing. 4 Share this post Link to post
Diamhea Posted December 29, 2017 Hellbound has two city levels that are quite the experience, especially City Bounds. Check it. 3 Share this post Link to post

EmotionalFelineinaMadstate Posted December 30, 2017 Valiant and Suspended in Dusk have some pretty good cave/city maps. 1 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 30, 2017 Pinchy's Alfonzone has pretty good city maps in its episodes 1, 4, and 5 and even a part of episode 10. For Heretic cave maps, check out Pablo Dictter's River of Fire series. 1 Share this post Link to post
Terminus Posted December 30, 2017 Steep Town is a decent city-styled map. Or town-styled is a better way to describe it. Great map that uses city textures well. 1 Share this post Link to post
