                         I would appreciate any comments

                         or opinions anyone has on this map.

                         I want as much feedback as possible.

                         Thanks for checking this map out!

Other publications     : I made Colony a while ago, and a few

                         demos here and there. Though most are

                         availible at cdrom.com and

Description            : This is my second Quake map. Another base

		         level. My next one will be runic, I hope!

                         It's not my favourite type of map, (I prefer

                         the castles theme, like Rituals 'Black Cathederal')

                         but I am pleased with what I have accomplished.

			 I just hope you will be too :)

			  DM also has several newly accessible areas

                          and lots more interconnectivity. I tried to make 

                          this side of things as fun as possible.

                          inside the quake\id1\ directory. EG:   quake\id1\maps

                          Start Quake, at the start map choose Easy, Normal, or Hard.

                          Then,bring down the console, type: "map Colony2" (Without the

                          " " marks). Where Colony2 is the name of the map you want to

			  load.
