December 24th, 1996 ================================================================ Title : Dark Ages Filename : darkages.bsp Author : Juha Koiste Email Address : hannu.koiste@pp.inet.fi Description : A full QUAKE map aimed for single playing, deathmatch and cooperative. I'd say it's something like a castle from the 12th century. I don't know, you can imagine whatever you want! Additional Credits to : Jonathan Mavor for Thred. Also special thanks to Jim Lowell for helping me out with Thred a numerous times, while I was making this map.

It's aimed for single playing, deathmatch and cooperative. And like I told you before, it's like a castle (well, something like that anyway). Ok then, if you've played my previous map "The Temple of Torment", then you'll see, that there's a huge difference between these two maps. For example, this map is totally different in terms of style, it represents morely of a... you know, Dark Ages "style". That's why I strongly recommend, that you have your Quake-CD in your CD- driver before starting the game, 'cause if you don't, then you'll loose half of the excitement of this map. That's because I chose the music, that really gave a different kind of a feel to this map. By the way, have you ever tried Metallica's "Master of Puppets" with Quake? Let me tell you, just perfect! Ok, then a few words about this map. Well, I named it like that, because you really get the feeling of the Dark Ages while you play this map. You start from the bottom of the "castle" and fight your way onto the top. There are a few doors and lifts in this map, so it should be pretty good for deathmatch. There's also a few pretty good details in this map. I even included in some teleporters... and of course, there are secret areas as well. And then what else..... right, WATER. I'd love to have mail from anyone regarding this level. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels.
