Title                   : SPoG's first sort of groovy DM map
Filename                : spogdm1.bsp

Description             : This is my first complete map. Its also
			  the map i started when i first tried map
			  editing in the first place. You might notice
			  its a BIG map - try not to get lost =).
			  Since I play in 320*240 software mode
			  (and complain about how crap it looks)
			  I tried to make it look decent enough
			  for those with no GL, but if you have
			  decent GL hardware it looks very much 
			  better =). The architecture is mostly
			  inspired and adapted from id's maps
			  especially sewer64 and strike - my
			  personal favourite map designs.

                          ("its big").

* Other Info *

The more players the better. As it was my first map-making attempt
I made sure I had plenty of room to put new things in, so it gets
kind of epic at times =). The BFG isnt readily available I admit,
but it *is* possible to drop down and BFG-Jump out (i can do it =)
- make sure you have lots of health. The punchier weapons are placed
higher up in the map.
wpolys stays around 200-400 on average, but in the big areas it can
get over 800 if you try.
