Description             :                       ***
                         IMPORTANT: Saving in vanilla (or Chocolate) Doom
                         WILL crash the game due to the size of the map.
                         If you want to save, you'll need a limit-removing
                         port.
                                               ***

                         Bury My Heart Knee Deep is a huge, vanilla, E1-
                         style map for Doom II that takes cues from
                         Metroidvania game progression. It's bursting with
                         optional areas, secrets, and potential sequence
                         breaks. You can follow the "intended" path or
                         make your own way through. You can even complete
                         the whole thing without picking up a single key.
                         If you like the map, I hope you'll play through
                         two or three times and look for different ways
                         you can beat it!

                         In true Metroid fashion, "upgrades" like the rad
                         suit and light amp goggles are "unlocked" at
                         certain points. There are also barriers scattered
                         throughout the map that can only be opened using
                         rockets. These are never required to progress,
                         but they usually provide valuable ammo, health,
                         and gear. Rockets are a precious commodity, so
                         it's up to you: Do you fire all your rockets off
                         to survive a tough fight, or save them to blast
                         open a cache of healing items later?

                         Hurt Me Plenty is the recommended skill setting,
                         especially if you're playing in vanilla or
                         otherwise won't be saving. Ultra-Violence is
                         too tough even for me to make it without saves,
                         and ammo is very tight if you don't find many
                         secrets.

Editor(s) used          : Doom Builder X, SLADE3, and WhackEd 4
Known Bugs              : 1) Savegame buffer overloads are guaranteed in
                         vanilla and Chocolate Doom.
                         2) There are a number of special, destructible
                         barriers that rely on Doom's infinitely-tall
                         objects to work. A MAPINFO fix is included to
                         force infinitely-tall objects in many modern
                         source ports, but some others may allow you to
                         run over the barriers and easily access to a lot
                         of stuff you shouldn't be able to. ZDaemon is
                         the only specific port that I've confirmed
                         doesn't work correctly here.
                         3) The MAPINFO lump prevents you from moving
                         above or below any other object in ports that
                         would usually allow that. Apologies to anyone
                         who is used to being able to run over and under
                         enemies, but... it had to be done.
                         4) A (Boom) sky transfer is used in three areas.
                         In non-Boom-compatible ports, they'll just have
                         the normal sky.
                         5) At least two small HOMs can be seen in vanilla
                         due to drawseg overflows. They don't affect
                         gameplay and you'll only see them if you stand in
                         a certain spot and look in just the right
                         direction, so I decided not to agonize over them.
