Author's Comment	: Final version, entry for the "UNREAL PLAYGROUND ONS-Mapping Contest"


Description		: During the second water war on Hell's Gate IV, your forces have pulled up a heavily fortified
			  commando point near one of the major wells which feed the planets capital pipeline. 						  Controll over this region would ensure a sufficient quantity of fresh water for your people that
 			  would last for years, while at the same time effectively cutting most other factions from the
			  supply line. Unfortunately, the enemy did once again foresee your actions, and if it wasn't for 				  the viscious sandstorm scourging the dry plains, you could almost see the enemy war-khan prepare 				  for an open assault on your fortress...

				- placed another Manta at the Junkyards

				- fixed a few collision issues
				- replaced leviathans with custom turrets
				- added some extra FX to the cores
				- added weapon locker to center
				- added AVRiLs and extra Link ammo to most weapon lockers
				- altered terrain, driving up the pipeline much easier now

				- added some deco structures and a Raptor near the comm towers

				- switched Default and Inverted_Default link setup for AI reasons
				- ...

			  v1.0	- first release [Beta1]



Construction time	: about 14 days / ~ 80-90h


Known bugs		:	- bots hardly ever man turrets
				- bots very rarely make use of the Hellbender
				- at the current defaultsetup bots will leave the Raptor and try to take the
				  first node on foot, probably because of the architecture around it, but on
				  the other hand drive the tank more frequently later in the game.
				- charge emitter on Powerbeam turrets occasionally stuck when killed
				  (actually a problem inherited from the Hellbender. Epic should patch this.)

Authors might use this level as a base to build additional levels or convert it to other gametypes, mentioning of my name and notification would be appreciated though, as I'm a passionate, self centered egomaniac.

You are allowed to commercially exploit this level, i.e. put it on a CD or any other electronic medium that is sold for money only with an adequate share of the exploits transferred to my bank account... which I doubt to be significantly more than the Austrian transfer taxes anyway.

You MAY distribute this BSP through any electronic network (internet, FIDO, local BBS etc.), provided you include this file and leave the archive intact. If you don't I'll cast upon you the dreadful voodoo spell of the neverending itch between the shoulder blades, where you can't scratch. Don't say you've not been warned.
