Trivia[edit]
- The Illuminati Building's speech is, "This pattern is irrefutable proof for ancient machining." in reverse.
- In the comment section under the playthrough of this map on decino's YouTube channel, skillsaw shared the following information about this level:
"Episode 2 needed a big climactic ender so one Saturday morning I drew up the giant pyramid as a visual setpiece but had no idea what to do with it. After thinking about it for a bit I decided to try my hand at a surprise Icon of Sin map since it seemed like the right kind of centerpiece for one.
The out of bounds setup with the monster spawner is to hide "stuck" monsters from the player due to the missing map30 telefrag behavior. Only one monster will activate a teleport line at a time, so the teleport lines effectively "unstuck" monsters as they cross. That said, the monster closets probably jam up eventually but it seems to take long enough to not cause problems.
UV-max rules definitely weren't taken into consideration for this map, which I'm sure has been annoying to many ... If I ever do a map like this again I'll try to use MBF21 dehacked to make the kill counter accurate, or maybe make the fake monsters clear somehow? I know folks like Daerik have done D2All max runs of Ancient Aliens and I have no idea what their strategy was to make this map doable. Anyways, I'm glad your UV-max run worked out, but for me the map is a lot more fun to blaze through like a theme park ride."―Paul DeBruyne (skillsaw) [1]
