STR04: Asteroid (Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos)

STR04: Asteroid is the fourth map of Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos. It was designed by Daniel Gimmer (Tormentor667) and uses a custom music track.

This level uses the "Deadline" mode, where the objective is to prevent any monsters crossing either deadline.

Essentials
You start in a building with two deadlines on your left and right - both must be protected. The weapon, ammo and health pads are found inside the building, while the powerup pad is just outside. Use caution when traversing the asteroid, as falling off results in instant death and the loss of a life.

There are two paths outside leading away from the building - monsters will spawn at the ends of both paths and follow them into the building, so avoid focusing on one path for too long. The monsters will start spawning closer to the building after wave four, and will move closer to the building again after wave seven.

Blood demons are an obvious threat due to their speed and health, but watch out for catharsi as well - they fire a spread of projectiles and leave behind detonators when they die, which can be hard to avoid but will also injure monsters.

A shotgun and shells can be found just outside the building.

Completing this level will award 300 bonus credits.
