Title : Thirty Monsters Challenge 2: Thirty Aliens
Filename : 30MC2.wad
Release date : August 10, 2024
Author : Dac (and a motley crew of mappers)
Email Address : [redacted]
Other Files By Author : Be sure to check out the original Thirty Monsters
Challenge (30mc.wad) on idgames.
Misc. Author Info : Created, ran, compiled, and edited by Dac (creator of the
original 30mc). Reordered, fixed, and finalized by Death
Bear (Co-Lead of Pineapple Under the Sea).

Description : As always, it's quite simple: make a map with
thirty monsters in it - no more, no less. This time
though, we used a modified Ancient Aliens texture
pack with some additional MBF21 Dehacked stuff. Maps
are balanced for pistol start; loosely ordered by
difficulty into 3 episodes. Episodes do not clear
inventory.

NightFright's widescreen HUD for Ancient Aliens
has provided alongside the wad.

Weapon Changes:
FIST : Punch damage is now a bit more consistent.
CHAINSAW : Is now affected by berserk! Not as much
as the punch is, but hopefully enough to mow down
demons with more ease.
PISTOL : Deals slightly more damage, does not lose
accuracy, and does nor consume any kind of ammo.
Should be useful as is, and for allowing far away
switches to be hit at all times.
SHOTGUN : Now reloads slightly faster.
SUPER SHOTGUN : Also reloads slightly faster.
SUPER CHAINGUN : Is basically the Valiant chaingun.
Keep in mind this is the only weapon that uses
bullets.
ALIEN RIFLE : Replaces the Plasma Rifle. Slower
fire rate, but fires three slightly homing bolts at
once.
BFG9000 : Blue.

Enemy Changes:
FORMER HUMAN : A little bit tougher, and now fires
continuously. If you've played Struggle, it's kind
of like that.
FORMER SERGEANT: Now drops shells instead of a
shotgun.
CHAINGUNNER: Now drops a clip instead of a
chaingun.
LOST SOUL: Has a smaller attack delay, and is
slightly weaker.
CYBERDEMON: Is now a LOT weaker, will die to one
good BFG blast.
PLASMA ALIEN: As seen in Ancient Aliens, replaces
the Wolfenstein SS.
ALIEN GUARDIAN: As seen in Ancient Aliens, replaces
the Keen.
UNDYING: New monster. Similar to the former human,
but comes back to life if normally killed. They can
stay down by gibbing them, or if their soul gets
distracted and resurrect another demon instead!
FLAMETHROWER ZOMBIE : New monster. Fires two
mancubus fireballs. Should be deadly at close
range, and very annoying at longer ranges too.
Should die to one good rocket hit, or a good super
shotgun hit if you feel brave.
ARCH-DIABOLIC: New monster. Similar to an
arch-vile, but lays flames at your feet that
explodes after a short delay.
