STR50: Duke it Out (Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos)

STR50: Duke it Out is the first secret map of Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos. It was designed by Chilvence and Daniel Gimmer (Tormentor667), and uses a remix of "Stalker" by Lee Jackson from Duke Nukem 3D.

This level uses the "Goals" mode. The objective is to prevent enemies from Duke Nukem killing all the captured babes.

Essentials
This level is set in a Duke Nukem 3D-style city that contains 15 captured babes; you must stop the monsters killing all of them. All players start by a dark building near the center of the level; the weapon, ammo and health pads can be found around this building, while the powerup pad is in a walled structure to the south-west. A second ammo pad can be found in the south-west corner, near a small park area.

Monsters will initially spawn near a pit in the north-west corner and head east along a road, then head south around the back of the dark building. From wave five monsters will also spawn by a collapsed skyscraper in the south-west corner and head east through the park.
 * Assault troopers use laser pistols and can jetpack short distances. Assault captains are almost identical, but can also teleport short distances as well.
 * Pig cops are armed with shotguns and can drop into a prone position to make themselves harder to hit.
 * Octabrains fly and can fire psychic blasts - these dissipate after a short time so it is advisable to fight octabrains from a distance.
 * Battlelords carry powerful chainguns and can fire grenades that explode when stepped on.
 * Enforcers carry chainguns and can jump over obstacles.
 * Commanders fly and can fire rockets from their saucers.
 * Overlords fire barrages of rockets, but there is a short delay before the attack starts.
 * Protector drones can leap over obstacles and use shrink rays. Shrunk players are unable to use weapons until the effect wears off.
 * Alien queens breathe fire and have an electric melee attack.
 * Cycloids fire barrages of rockets and psychic blasts.

Completing this level will award 1,500 bonus credits.
