Points of Interest      : E1M1 - Hall of the Lava Lord


                             You (and maybe your friends) have climbed

                          to the summit of the Lava Lord's mountain to

                          seek an audience, but is the Lava Lord even

                          there???


                          E1M2 - Fortress of the Lava Lord


                             Penetrating deeper into the Lava Lord's

                          domain you seek out his personal residence.

                          A very seclusive Lava Lord this is, indeed...



                          E1M3 - Crypt of the Lava Lord


                             Apparantly the Lava Lord spends more time

                          stalking his tomb than he does in his comfy

                          chair. At this point, I don't think he wants

                          you around, do you?


Considerations          : These PWADS have been built primarily with

                          Coop or Deathmatch play in mind. They CAN be

                          played Solo, however, there is at least one

                          area in each level that can only be reached

                          by cooperative effort (intended or otherwise).

                          Unless, of course, you cheat, Chicken-Boy...


Special Note            : For those of you that get distressed when you

                          come upon a seemingly unsurmountable number

                          of boss monsters, rest assured that there is

                          a quite easy and painless way to kill them in

                          these levels. This applies to Coop Mode only,

                          for Solo mode you're on your own...

* Construction *

============================================================================


Base                    : New level from scratch

Build Time              : About 1 Week, on and off

Editor(s) used          : HEU v5.21, BSP v1.2x, RMB v2.1

Known Bugs              : Some slight node screwups that aren't

                          readily apparant. Even though these levels

                          were recompiled with BSP 1.2x, some of the

                          structures are a tad chaotic, and you might

                          see the occasional slice thru a wall...
