czg's turn
----
Well, everything began from czg has released his abandoned maps sources, lots of
crappy starts of maps that never were to be. Or so he thought...

Vondur's turn
----
Vondur looked through them and spotted nice start of E1M1 remake. (There was
the beginning and the base entrance done) Since he was in the Quake mood that time,
he started continuing this map. Vondur added right room and some hallway to the left
in the base and some outdoor changes as well (near the bridge). But suddenly Vondur
got even stronger Quake fit and started making Adamantine Cruelty (AC) map. During
that time, he gave slightly changed .map file back to czg for further development.

czg's turn
----
czg was ofcourse deeply impressed by the massiveness of Vondur's brushes, so he could
not help but tinker and tweak some of the things Vondur did, add the first MH secret,
add a few details to the hallway, and create the nailgun room. Almost having spent
his mapping juices comepletely, the map was returned to Vondur for more brutal
mapping.

Vondur's turn
----
Then Vondur thought that it's his turn and while relaxing from heavy AC's
development took the map from czg. Vondur added slime pool area this time. Then
wanting to continue AC development gave map back to czg.

czg's turn
----
czg, completely overjoyed by getting to do the holy spiral ramp room, went to
work on it with much vigor. A little hallway behind the slime pool was crafted and
the spiral ramp room was born anew with a rocky influence. Satisfied that the lighting
didn't look awful, czg thought Vondur could have it back.

Vondur's turn
----
At that time Vondur has released AC and thought it's time for his turn. He took the
map from czg and added final hallway and final exit room and got evil thought to release
this map, but czg asked him not to do that because he had some ideas in mind. So Vondur
gave almost ready map back to czg.

czg's turn
----
czg joined up two dead ends he left in and created a secret little bit. Vondur wants to
polish the lights and maybe some other things a little bit before release though, so the
map goes back one final time to Russia before release.

Vondur's turn
----
Vondur added some details, fixed some lights and decided it's time to release
the map into the big world.....



                         ·· N O T E S ··

Well, maybe some of the mappers will be interested to hear that we used various editors.
czg used Worldcraft and Vondur used GTKRadiant 1.4.x. So we had to convert the map each
time we transferred the source to each other :)
Oh, and we decided not to add DM mode to this map because its layout is bad
for dm anyway.
Also, we decided to release .map files with this level. Why not? Let's continue
the main goal of this map as a little present for the mappers/players :)
As usual, if you gonna release your maps based on our .map files, you're obliged
to release your .map files as well. Consider that we released our sources under
the GNU General Public License.

Have fun!
