Finally finished over the course of several weeks. Tronyn and ericw were the fucking kings of Quake. mapajam6's Illusions Outnumber Changes In Fortune is a fantastically realized castle map situated in the mountains under a bleeding sun. Despite its enemy count, it isn't quite mindless slaughter (nor is it not mindless slaughter mind you). Just a thoroughly engaging excursion through one of the Ranger's thousands of adventures battling the forces of Quake, and never a dull moment. I really should finish that Drake randomizer I was trying to make because I'd love to get in there with some yakmen and the like. Then again I suppose I can just use AD. Gonna try that now.

There are I believe several times I actually got lost with no real direction, but I'm pretty sure those were all my fault, just be wary if you feel like trying the map out.

It's a reminder of what I love about these things and the ever, ever, ever enduring value of community content; I chose to play this custom map over buying or playing a new release from the last five years because it captures parts of my imagination that recent products don't. Modern titles would do well to include editors, but that's a pipe dream. Now to play the Mjolnir version of this map eventually.
