MAP10: New Front Base (Strife)

After the Programmer is destroyed, MAP07: Castle is replaced by MAP10: New Front Base. It uses the music track "March".

Overview
Basically, this level is a replica of the castle but is controlled by the Front and has a few structural differences. Accesses to the training facility and the Programmer's keep are now blocked and the entrance to the audience chamber is replaced by a headquarters where Macil resides. Just across the HQ is the hospital where the player can find the medic Gerard and the trainer Feris, as well as a person named Justin who sells ammo and teleport beacons. Near the main gate that leads to the town, there is a teleporter that leads directly into the HQ. Later, the player can access the new Front base from the borderlands as well. A teleporter can be activated in the central yard of that level, and it leads into the HQ of the Front base.

Later in the game, Macil becomes a boss that needs to be killed. If the player attacks him at any point after the castle has been conquered, the rebel troopers will help the player, although Macil is invincible to the troopers' attacks.

Bugs
Four disappearing dead acolytes (Things 19, 20, 21 and 22) have no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so they never appear in the level to begin with. Teleport map spots 1 and 3 (Things 118 and 120) also have no skill flags, but because of special handling in the engine, they function normally in the level.
