Additional Credit*

 * I have to give the bulk of the credit to the makers of TREAD, its an 
           absolutely great program due to its accessibility and ease of use.
        * ID Software, of course, for Quake 2.
 * RUST- for the plethora of info provided :  http://www.gamedesign.net 
 * Thnx to Havok who lets me test every map on him =)
        * The custom textures are not mine so whoever put them in a map file and 
however
           they got into my machine is beyond my ability to discern, suffice it to say, 
they 
           are pretty cool and credit goes to the unknown whoevers'. I've had as 
many as
           1400 bsp maps on my hard drive at once so you can imagine the difficulty 
in
           nailing down just who did what out there in the Quake universe. I just don't
           want the credit due to others =)

*NOTES*
Ok heres the argument for the map - The first three maps i made are BIG, I mean 
REAL BIG, probably
 to big but they are great for rail-gun sniping and strategy matches. This one now is 
much smaller
 would work well for 1 on 1 or 4-5 ffa, its got an abundance of weapons and 
ammo is always right
 by the given weapon (having lots and lots makes the fragging easier and i believe 
thats exactly 
 what dm play is all about). I liked the texture set and over-all atmosphere from 
marics4 but wanted
 to make a better map. I may have, i'll let others be judge and jury, i know the use 
of invisible light
 sources is frowned upon but i like the otherworldly/ethereal element they create. 
That said if
 a reason is needed just make up some kind of si-fi explanation that explains and 
satisfies
 after all novelists do it all the time (and have you ever seen a si-fi movie =). 

 The quad is there and the "gulp" Bfg is there too, don't like it but if you ever play 
"Chaos
  dm mod" you know that some of most insane weaps. spawn where the Bfg is =).
 
 OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly 
sensitive either just go easy with
  the harsh language, remember we live in a "society".
 
 The two servers running this and my other maps are as follows :
    The Necromancers Lair  @  24.3.60.209
    Backshooters Rail Lair @  24.6.131.209
 Please drop by and look for either Maric or Havok
