Description             : "Shooters are brown", I hear.
                          Well, maybe since Quake they are, but Doom is
                          actually a pretty colourful game.

                          Just to prove it, here are nine new maps for
                          Ultimate Doom, using only standard textures and
                          flats, with no significant amounts of brown in
                          sight: there might be occasional pixels here and
                          there, but anything where I could clearly see
                          brown was either off limits, or had to be used
                          in a way where the brown wasn't visible.

                          There are also no imps, since they're brown.
                          This proved quite the challenge from a mapping
                          perspective, given how ubiquitous they are as a
                          harassment monster in (Ultimate) Doom.  Certain
                          other brown Things I had to give a pass, though.
                          Can't not have a rocket launcher, for one!

                          What's that?  An 'in universe' description?  Oh,
                          right ... UAC Experiment!  Monsters attacked it!
                          Go kill 'em!
