Other Levels          : Many. Check at least the MSSP Episode, The Brave New World and Earth Base.
                        I have also built maps for several other games: MSUT1 for Unreal Tournament,
                        MS-Tourney 1 and Lifeline for Quake3Arena, aim_mesayard for Counter-Strike
                        and Distractions for Quake. 

Installation/running  : This level requires Duke Plus, a free add-on. To play, run DukePlus and select 
                        this map from the usermap menu. Don't mess with DukePlus settings.

                        DO NOT play the map with the HIGH RESOLUTION PACK!

Plot                  : "In the grim darkness of the far future" Earth is being purged of what the 
                        Assault alien race have long called the "human disease". The final solution 
                        to the problem is nothing but a complete genocide of mankind. In this 
                        Darwinian struggle for survival the human being has lost. Earth is now a 
                        gigantic alien outpost and human concentration camp. Duke Nukem, an agent of 
                        the human resistance (operating from Cygnus space station and various other
                        hidden locations across the galaxy) is sent to a facility that conducts 
                        experiments on humans (including agents of the resistance). 

                        Your mission is as follows:
                        1) Terminate industrial production
                        2) Liberate any prisoners you manage find
                        3) Destroy the facility
                        4) Escape


Level Info  	      : When I was a kid one of my favorite Duke3D usermaps was "Steel" by Matt
                        Bollier. I even made a "sequel" (never released and doesn't exist anymore) 
                        to it called "Steel 2".
                        MSDN, my Duke3D site, turns 10 on 21st of April 2009 and I always knew I'd
                        come up with a new map to be released on that day. Another "Steel" remake
                        had always been in my mind so I decided to go with the theme.
                        Before I began working on the map I had another cool idea: A dark, grey
                        world ("Steel" only used grey textures) of the future where mankind has been 
                        wiped out by the aliens. What I wanted to do was some kind of an alien industrial 
                        facility (hi-tech, not organic) where the remnants of mankind are used in various 
                        experiments (remember Quake 2?). I immediately thought of DukePlus, its Dukebot 
                        feature and its weather effect. (I'd be lying if I said the Daikatana ogg track
                        that comes with the map didn't inspire me.)
                        So, "Steel" + Quake 2 + DukePlus = Dukecide.
