Misc. Author Info       : Look, I make maps and they just do the lagging
                          thing themselves. I had nothing to do with it!

Description             : Winter's Fury!
                          
                          This is a 14 map mod for GZDoom, split into 3
                          parts.
                          The maps have rather fast paced action with some
                          scripted sequences and boss fights. If the levels
                          seem a bit difficult, there is 4 different skill
                          levels (Not including a NIGHTMARE equivalent...)
                          for you to choose from. The levels are rather
                          short, but hopefully entertaining, if not
                          atmospheric and laggy. 
                          
                          There is also some little pointers in the mod to
                          teach you about certain aspects throughout the
                          levels. This mod also features replacements for
                          all the weapons, making some faster and others
                          more dangerous. Not only will there be these
                          weapons, there is a whole new set of demons that
                          have taken the "Icy" look.
                          
                          The mod also has a backstory, which is progressed
                          in the mod itself through cinematics. Here is a
                          bit of the story here:
                          
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          
                          A few years have passed since the first Demon
                          invasion (Doom1 and Doom2). The UAC is on
                          constant watch for activity of demons on earth
                          and mars. The UAC have been completely paranoid
                          that more demons could come at any moment, and
                          are researching new technology to stem the
                          invasion forces, such as the Ion Cannon on
                          Cybergaze 2.1x, or even the Hellfire Fuel at the
                          Insanity's Edge Mining Complex, not to mention
                          their other secret projects that you, Sergeant
                          Major Elliott Morse, shouldn't know about.
                          
                          You are a part of one of a vast amount of
                          Specialist teams, know as the T.A.O (Tactical
                          Assault Operations), designed to find and hunt
                          down remaining demons on earth.The latest signal
                          has come from Siberia, inside a mountain named
                          Mt. Baphomet, where ironically, the remains of
                          Baphomet are sealed in a vault far below the
                          mountain. Within and around the mountains
                          perimeter are hundreds of Pre-Demon war
                          facilities that the UAC took as their own during
                          the first war against the demons. All information
                          about the base has been classified since. A minor
                          team was sent to deal with this signals
                          inconvenience. That team never returned. Now, the
                          UAC are beginning to panic. However, they have no
                          wish for the T.A.O to clean this mess up for
                          them...
                          
                          Fortunately, the T.A.O can go right over their
                          heads on this one.
                          
                          Currently commanded by Colonel Andrew Luke, this
                          team makes no mistakes. You are part of this
                          team, after showing outstanding skill in all
                          areas. You didn't think you were that good. The
                          leader of Alpha squad in your team, and friend
                          from the Demon War, Corporal Markus Dirnberger,
                          believes that the UAC did genetic experiments on
                          demons here. You also owe him 17 dollars. You
                          think he is crazy, but with the UAC, you can
                          never know. The T.A.O all know from first hand
                          experience, that the UAC always lie.
                          
                          For our mission, they want us to go in, find the
                          problem, terminate it, and get out. Simple, huh?
                          The general expects us to follow these orders
                          exactly. Yet what the UAC actually have done here
                          has saved the lives of millions...
                          
                          ...But now has condemned the life of your team,
                          and possibly the rest of the earth to the
                          demons.
                          
                          Or something much worse.

Additional Credits to   : Maelstrom has been a major help throughout the
                          good 4 years of work. Give yourself a pat on the
                          back. There is a full list of credits in the game
                          after you win, and I am too busy to put them in
                          here.

                          awful lot of scripts. You have been warned.
