STR05: Twilight (Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos)

STR05: Twilight is the fifth 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 the deadline.

Essentials
You start facing a building that contains the deadline, as well as the weapon, ammo and health pads; the powerup pad is in a smaller building behind you. The buildings are on a tall peak surrounded by a rectangular pit; falling into the pit is not harmful and there are teleporters on the west, north-east and south-east sides that will put you back on the peak.

This level mainly uses flying enemies; be prepared to drop into the pit to chase demons that have flown out of range, but do not spend too long there as unattended demons can reach the deadline very quickly. Pay attention to lost souls if they get close to the deadline, as when they charge at you they can end up flying straight through the deadline, ending the mission.

Monsters will initially spawn in the north-west corner and head towards the center of the level. From wave three monsters will also spawn in the south-west corner (heading east and north around the building), and from wave five monsters will also spawn from the east. From wave seven, paths will rise connecting the spawn points with the peak and you will have to contend with ground enemies as well.

A shotgun and shells can be found in the center of the level.

Completing this level will award 400 bonus credits.
