Well I can say that I died dozens of times haha. I was always short on ammo and the enemy placement on top of no ammo made it very very difficult (played on Come Get Some difficulty setting). The shrink ray was definitely my best friend. However, if I never cheated, I would have never gotten this weapon thus decreasing my odds of completing this map. I only found two secrets.

In the end, I enjoyed the challenge. Frustrating, but fun.

This map is so pretty.

Hmm okay that can be confusing I guess, I've changed it.

oops my error really, I don't know why I read it as "rather original and well done (music) theme". Crap, my mind I'm being all craped since I got flu. Sorry

Nobody said it was original and, for thousands maps ever made for Duke3D, maybe only 1 or 2 have musics that are created FOR the map. Same for Doom, Quake, etc

P.S.: The music isn't original, it's from a game called Crash Bash

Saying to me to lower to lower the difficulty... now this is personal!!! XD

Well I found my self many times without ammo with 80~90 percent accuracity while alternating between shotgun and pistol. Maybe I'm too much accustomed to DooM 2 type of user maps.

But I still think that explosion from nowwhere after the habitat cage is really a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing.

I thought navigation was pretty straightforward to be honest. I wouldn't say there is a shortage of ammo but rather that it's tight, there is definitely enough ammo to kill everything but usermaps in general tend to have less ammo than when you play the episode-based game, it's aimed to experienced Dukers.
If anything, difficulty settings were implented, you could play in Let's Rock difficulty.

Men, this map have a nice concept, but it is very poor in navigation/exploration and enemy placement, and have a HUGE shortage of ammo and supplies
