Möbius
A möbius loop in a Marathon Map? nah, couldn't be!
by kirill@lava.net
What is it?
This is a Marathon map, designed for Marathon 1. Because Marathon 2 is not yet released, it is not clear if Marathon 1 maps will work on Marathon 2.
What kind is it?
This is both a Solo (as more of a brain teaser) or a Network map. If you play it as a network map, you should really consider at least 4 players.
Ammo, Aliens, Weapons, Secrets, Etc.
There is a lot of ammo and weapons placed randomly all over the map. Special items are only found in the outer ring. Since I am not an expert at weapons and ammo placement, you might want to change the weapons info.
Aliens are also present. They are all the fighters (in reasonable quantities), a Hunter, a Compiler and an invisible one. Plus some Bobs for those who like to shoot them.
There are no secret rooms in this map.
What’s so cool about it?
Well, it is more interesting to play and find out for yourself, butfor those that would like to know now (if you would like to find out for yourself, just skip this section), the map, while it seems to contain only 1 central room and a ring, actually contains 4 main rooms. The rooms are lying “on top of teach other.” This effect is achieved because of the way the Marathon engine creates pseudo 3D. this allows two two (or more) rooms to occupy the same space without being aware of it. Examples can be found in “5D Space” or the secret maze in “Ingue Ferroque.”
