Fortunately, there is the outside area around the castle. Low quality textures, as if they were taken from the game SM64. Not all areas of the castle - for it is a minus 1 point. Texture I replaced the HD version in TGA format, as I did for map Mario CTF. Suitable for 6-12 battle of igrokov.
Note: for your project Legacy of Doom 2 - addon for Quake 2 - I also did his version of a remake of Peach's castle. In contrast to this work, I have all the areas of the castle, the HD textures and the best design. Who has not seen my addon for Quake 2, be sure to check it out. A remake of the castle is there as a secret level...

Name: The Colosseum
File: tddm2
Card size: small
Mode: FFA, tourney
Description: a small map in the style of a Roman arena, although not done very well, it would be more to try. And the size small for the arena, it is not like that, but ten times more.
