Undesired Reality

Started as a e4m1 remake but I went on with a standalone map that maintains a few known areas (revamped obviously).

in ZDOOM.
May Not Run With...     : Brutäl Doom (This level has the super shotgun from KDIZD and thus it conflicts with brutal doom's modified super shotgun)

* Aditional notes *

The level has been designed with software mode in mind and thus it works fine on Zdoom. During construction I continuesly tested the different areas with both GZDOOM and ZDOOM engines and they all
worked fine in both. 
GZDOOM is recomended if you want to take advantage of the gldefs and smoother looking textures (Filters) but that is just for aesthetic reasons I guess.
The level has been tested on ZDOOM 2.7.1, GZDOOM 1.8.2 and the latest svns: Everything works like it should.
The daisyscenes.wad is at the root of the pk3 because the sprites weren't in png format.

The level has had a few modifications before I actually uploaded it to IDGAMES. It had a few issues that I had to take care of ^^
Feedback is much appreciated and I will take it into account. A few bugs may still be there.
You may find the monster placement to be a little random at times but I tried to make it interresting (It is something I am aiming to perfect). 
This is my second official level. 

Version 1.01 Changes:

-Corrected a major visual glitch in software mode near the big bridge area. (The one with the plasma gun in the center). 
Since the bridge is made with portals, the lower sector was placed to close to polyobject dummy sectors.
As a result, this caused a hom that could be seen once you travel through the surrounding areas (You could see parts of the polyobject dummy sector).

-Corrected a minor visual glitch in one of the outside areas (The e4m8 area).

-Changed a few scripts here and there (nothing big).

-Rebalanced the final fight: You know encounter only 2 hierophants and 2 thamuz.
I want to make it chalenging but not unfair and 3 thamuz is just more frustrating than fun IMO. (May be changed in future updates if poeple find it too easy). 

-Sligt modifications to the health/ammo balance.
