Description             : A Boom compatible 6 maps journey through the valley
                          of the Kings.
                          
                          Charged with a perilous quest, Doomguy must journey
                          into the forbidding Valley of the Kings. There,
                          among treacherous tombs and malevolent forces, he
                          seeks the elusive relic-the Ankh of Eternity. Armed
                          with its ancient power, he will confront the last
                          Hell's portal, sealing it for eternity or
                          succumbing to the malevolent abyss.
                          
                          These maps aim for a difficulty similar to Doom 2.
                          If you are a veteran of Doom or a spicy map lover,
                          I highly encourage you to enable co-op monsters in
                          single player for a much more satisfying
                          experience.
                          For DSDA Doom, use the launch parameter
                          -coop_spawns
                          For GZDoom, select the Ultra-Violence+ difficulty
                          in the main menu (It's Ultra-Violence with co-op
                          monsters enabled)
                          For PRBoom, use the launch parameter -solo-net
                          I'm less familiar with other ports, but I'm sure
                          they have ways to enable co-op monsters for your
                          enjoyment.
                          
                          This wad uses SoftFX for 32in24-15tex made by
                          Muusi. It replaces all monsters sprites and adjusts
                          the colormap with a special brightmap version. This
                          is to make monsters have their eyes glow in the
                          dark. This is used in some pitch black fights where
                          you can only visualise monsters with their glowing
                          eyes. If your mods modify monsters sprites and/or
                          the colormap, you may find those fights more
                          difficult than intended.
                          
                          Map 01 : An introduction map made to ease the
                          player into the style of the wad. I tried to
                          include interesting things to look at and a secret
                          panorama for explorers.
                          Map 02 : The first temple map. This map is kind of
                          a mirror map, everything is the same in the two
                          sections. Have fun exploring this old Egyptian
                          temple. Some secrets may be hard to find but
                          remember that the candles will always guide you.
                          Map 03 : A big arena fight map. I tried to use
                          lights as a way to spice up the combats. I hope
                          you're not afraid of the dark !
                          Map 04 : An outdoor map with a tiny bit of
                          platforming. A big fight will happen at the center
                          of the map if you collect all the keys while
                          running. Better be ready for it !
                          Map 05 : The longest map of the set by far. I tried
                          to induce confusion in the player with hidden line
                          teleporters. The fights can be taken in any order
                          and a surprise weapon will be awarded if you can
                          survive 2 of the fights. The Blue Skull fight is
                          probably the meanest thing I've ever done. Don't
                          lose your sanity and have fun !
                          Map 06 : Icon of Sin map with a twist. You need to
                          find the exit as an infinite number of monsters
                          will try to stop you. Good luck.
