>>> Introduction

-------------------------------------------------

Designed as an expansion pack to Tomb Raider 4: The Last Revelation, and in commemoration of the Tomb Raider's 20th Anniversary,
celebrate by revisiting some well known locations form Tomb Raider's 1 through Chronicles, with a few extra surprises.

With more combat than Tomb Raider 2 on steroids, leap and tumble head first into massive waves of enemies,
leaving nothing but a trail of bodies and shell casings behind you!

--------------------------------------------------

>>> Options

-------------------------------------------------

Options:

Please disable volumetric effects. The levels were designed around this, and may become too dark is not used.

As a personal preference, you may or may not want to enable Bilinear Filtering.

--------------------------------------------------

>>> Main Menu

-------------------------------------------------

From the start menu, you'll be given two options: Battle Arena, and Target Practice. Let's start with the Battle Arena.

--------------------------------------------------

>>> Battle Arena > Outfit / Arena Selection

-------------------------------------------------

Straight off of the main menu, we have the Outfit and Arena. Different outfits have different weapons, and each of the arenas have different enemeies.
Different outfits work best in differnet locations.

For added fun, you can also change the level's color palette from the main menu.

--------------------------------------------------

>>> Battle Arena > Scoring

-------------------------------------------------

The object of the battle area is simple: get as high as score as possible in the least amount of time with the highest possible combo of 160.

Scoring is as follows (measure in mumms, short for mummies):


Normal Kills	300m
Golden Baboobs	1200m
Boss kills	2000m


A combo is a chain of kills that are less than 10 seconds apart. Combos ar broken after the 10th second.
Combos are added to the score either after the combo is broken, or upon completing the round.
Combos take the square of the combo itself and then add that to the total score.

For example:

Combo 1		1m
Combo 2		4m
Combo 3		9m
Combo 4		16m
Combo 5		25m
...

This will go all of the way up to 160, where the total combo would be 25,600m.


Time also plays a factor! With the timer ticking down, you're constantly losing points. How?
When the final kill has been made, each of the seconds on the clock is worth 1000 points.
Fast players can benfit from quick play sessions where the difference of 10 seconds could cost the player 10,000 points!


However, there are ways to modify some of these values - artifacts!


--------------------------------------------------

>>> Battle Arena > Artifacts

-------------------------------------------------


In chests are different randomly spawning artifacts, each of which has a special purpose.

	Medipack Cache:
