Mountain Retreat Arena:

		This is my first map... Well, for the most part, anyway. I'm quite proud of
	it, as I spent a lot of time getting everything to be aligned ever so perfectly. I 
	got most of the textures aligned, but alas... it is harder to do than it seems 
	sometimes. Anyway, this map is basically 2 arenas. The first and upper arena looks
	out of the mouth of a pit in a mountain range. The sky box, I believe, was very well
	made. First of all, it IS my first one and second of all, it seems to fit perfectly.

		Snow effects come down into the pit as you fight. Available for the survivor
	is a table of the available foods. I also have extra shields nearby the arena, as to
	present everything with little waiting on the part of the player.

		The other arena is subterranean. To get to it, you need to go down the
	stairwell on the other side of the spawn room. On the way, you will find a weapons
	room which I probably could have decorated more, but I think it is fine as it is.
	The "Lava Arena" at the bottom of the stairs has a reddish light flooding the room.
	The center of the arena is the darkest, which may be confusing for some players.

		Along the outer edges is a decoration axe which I believe is 9x the size of
	a normal one. I could be wrong, but I'd have to go check the map file again. Anyway,
	there are also pools of lava which do a fair bit of damage. If you simply light on
	fire, try crouching in it...

		The arenas are actually precisely above and below each other. Both have
	"water" zones in the same general area. It was a simple way of doing it, and doesn't
	kill the atmosphere.

		Lastly, for those of you who like to find secrets, there is one in my map.
	Try looking for it. Yes, try. Shame on you if you use cheats. :P It isn't incredibly
	useful, but it makes the map a little more cool.
