Description             : This is a long level with a long history. Mr.
                          Chris (Chris Pisarczyk) and the late
                          Phobosdeimos1 (Callum Oliver) started this map
                          during the development of Doom the way id Did,
                          probably a year or so before it was officially
                          released. I joined in after Phobosdeimos1 left
                          early in the map's development and I joined in
                          afterwards. I did a lot of the western half of
                          the map and Mr. Chris did a lot of the eastern
                          half, but there are many points where we both
                          worked on the same areas, so you really can't
                          tell who did what. (Since Mr. Chris is a much
                          more popular mapper than I am, I assume people
                          probably can recognize his mapping style)
                          
                          Of course, ol' faithful here was rejected from
                          the project for being about twice the size of
                          E2M7 and having over two hundred monsters, among
                          other things. Eventually Mr. Chris released the
                          DTWID version of this level as "the damned,"
                          which you can find here on /idgames. Meanwhile,
                          as I gained more knowledge about mapping I dinked
                          around a bit and made a few adjustments here and
                          there to help with the map's flow and
                          progression. A few bugs were also fixed, and a
                          couple of things were added here and there to add
                          character. 
                          
                          For those who haven't played this level before
                          (most of you, I would assume), you may need to
                          use your automap more than a few times because
                          this map is VERY large and VERY non-linear. You
                          may also need to wear eye protection, since it's
                          twice as ugly as it is big. (Remember, it's DTWID
                          so we had to channel our inner Sandy Petersen!)
                          
                          Also, I would advise against deathmatch on this
                          map due to its gargantuan size. (I'm one of those
                          guys that has to put deathmatch starts in every
                          map he touches!)
                          
                          Hope you have fun!
                          
                          -Jeff (Marnetmar)
