NekroSanktum - Version 1.0
--------------------------

While building Morlock, I had a number of reeaal cool ideas that I wanted to appear in that map.  Unfortunately, there was no place to put 'em  - or they were just out of character.  So, NekroSanktum became Morlock's follow-up project.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!WE WANT MORE AVP2 SKIRMISH MAPS!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!  When are you AvP2 Mapping Dudes gonna start making yer own Skirmish maps..?  Huh?  Huh?  Huh..?  

It's friggin' easy to convert a finished DM map into something any non-Multiplayer Gamer can enjoy.  Of the 4 weeks I spent on this map, less than 2 days was spent on adding AI components to it for Single Player skirmish mode. ...and this was a complex map to add AI to.  I had to stop the buggers from jumping into the lava all of the time.  There's over 100 AI Volumes in this map.  I know for a fact people will download it just to Skirmish in.  

Adding Skirmish is a quick and easy way to increase the number of people who will download and appreciate your maps.

So, ya got no excuse, guys...  Just do it!
