------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description : I created this back in 1997 as an experiment to learn
the new features of Hexen. As you can tell by the
rather square nature of the map, I started playing
with Hexen right after I finished WATRCITY.WAD for
Heretic.
The map consists of a central icey area which
branches out and expands as you proceed to hit
switches, though there aren't that many. I made
this to learn many of the features present in the
original MAP39, so there are one or two things
(such as the crushers) which should only kill you
if you're really crazy and run under one. :)
I'll admit, this level is short, hard, and not
for everyone. Try playing not only on varying skill
levels, but also with different classes. It's
considerably harder to complete with the Fighter
then it is with the Cleric, and the Mage has a fair
time due to his distance weapons. The enemies vary
by class too, so bear that in mind as well.
This makes a great DM map, as there's a nice amount
of supplies but not too much to make any one class
overbearing. It's hilarious to see an enemy chase
after you with a much more powerful weapon, only to
be frozen solid by the ice shards in the central
area of the map. Use this section to your advantage!
Finally, thanks to the freaky numbering in the retail
Hexen maps, this is MAP39 but you'll need to do a
"-warp 30" on the command line, NOT "-warp 39".
Revision History : v1.0 - First release.
