Story
-----

This abandoned mine was once used by the Nali to extract Tarydium, a powerful 
mineral that strengthened the Nali's magical power. According to the Nali legends, 
the place has been abandoned after a collapsed wall revealed the nest of a giant 
mythical creature.
Liandri recently reopened the mining complex in search for a new Tournament arena. 
You have been chosen to test this new promising Duel arena right in the middle of 
the complex, good luck.

Author's Notes
--------------

This map is a rather tight Duel map. I don't recommend playing it with more than 3
players, since the layout is pretty small.

This map is the remake of my Unreal Tournament GotY map DM-LP-Aelon, included in
the Low Poly Map Pack 2. The layout has been altered a bit, and of course the
difference in the visuals is abysimal.

Most of the map has been built with custom meshes, made with Blender. I tried to
make a good looking map, while still keeping a good gameplay, visibility and 
performance.

I also tried to get an old Unreal feeling in this map. Aside from the evergreen 
tarydium crystals, I tried to make a pretty colorful map and to use many 
volumetrics to create a pretty nice "oldskool" atmosphere.

If you get some slowdowns (you shouldn't get any, though. The map is pretty light)
or if you just want a cleaner looking map turn the detail level to Low to get rid 
of the grass, the particle effects and some other details.


Enjoy
