A few comments on my level stuff: 9:04 - Exactly as intended. Designed to piss you off from the start of the level. :) 14:30 - Your logic about Lights Out is exactly mine when I designed that with the light level at zero. 14:59 - The idea with NME Mine was to make it harder than the original. As was the general design spec for the entire level pack. If I remember right, we didn't want the fences to be just decoration, but when it came out the way it did, we just let it be as it made it even harder. 20:23 - WTF did I just watch? 22:18 - A Boulder Vision. Actually my favorite level. I attempted to do everything we knew how to do with boulders all at once in this level. 25:30 - 95 Windows. I actually counted, there's 95 windows in the actual level, and if you use the map cheat and look at the entire map in the game, it was designed to look like the Windows95 interface, but you can't see that in game. 26:00 - Technical Ecstasy - a robot level named after a Black Sabbath album. I also see some footage from that level made it in to the end of the video anyway. :) 26:06 - Gods of Annihilation - the idea was that we'd give you a level that sounded (from the name) to be one of the hardest levels of all time, and it was the simplest thing ever. 26:11 - The Grand Vomitorium - The idea with the gas masks towards the end of the level was that I'd activate SO MANY gas grates it would kill you instantly no matter what health level you were at. The problem there is that many activations was a memory hog in the original DOS version, that it slowed it down. I'm glad I was the one part that crashed the port. haha. :) 26:58 - Well sussed out. When Tom and I set out to do EROTT, we basically took all the engine tricks we learned doing the original and tried to make the hardest thing we could think of. We never tried to intentionally make the player mad, it just kind of happened. OK, I lied - some of my bits in Grand Vomitorium were designed to make you mad (like the invisible elasto into the sky bits). But basically, your logic on the pack in general is sound.
9:04 - I just thought of something else about 9:04. We had a level in the old game called "Dead in Five Seconds", and one called "Dead in Two Seconds". When I was doing this level, this was a loose sequel to those, the idea being "Dead immediately".
@@atifarshad7624 Well, I can't give you an actual amount of time, as that level of detail is lost to time. :) But what I do remember is Tom and I both had to be able to finish each other's levels. I have a vague quasi memory that a couple others at the company had to play through the whole thing, too. So there was definite testing done. But how much down to "How many hours", I can't answer. Too many years gone by.
And also tied with Marathon for the first FPS to have rocket/grenade jumping. Also I think Heretic also had the phoenix rod jumping, but Heretic was released 2 days later.
I kept trying to download and install the marathon shareware onto the macs at my dad's college office but I think I only ever got multiplayer maps or something else was wrong, there were never any enemies which makes me think multiplayer maps, but I recall there were no guns either. Was disappointed because yeah, there was shit for games on the mac in the 90s, I was a bored middle school kid at an office with a T-1 line, and this purported Doom game for mac was alluring but I never got to play it more than running around empty maps =\

Actually kind of amazed this is real and official. The whole ‘platform on wall tiles’ shit seems like something you’d find in some maniac’s Uber hard kaizo troll levels, but no. It’s real and Tom Hall laughs at us.
ROTT has a real fever dream vibe in general, it reminds me of like an extremely shitty Brazilian total conversion DOOM wad with no aesthetic sensibilities whatsoever but it has banger music and is quite intelligently designed once you can make out what's going on

"If ROTT is a Super Mario Bros. game, Extreme ROTT is like those obscure Japanese "Kaizo Mario" levels designed only for Tool-Assisted Speedruns." Love that.
@@thesamejackalsniperthatkil117 I'd say it's somewhere in between. Extreme ROTT is definitely harder than the lost levels (which are hard as shit for a normie like me if that's any indication of how brutal extreme rott is) but easier than kaizo.
Yeah it's right there next to the original Beyond Good & Evil 2 that keeps disappearing every time someone asks ubisoft why they're such pieces of shit.
The bizarre thing is that he never attempted to make it even after Kickstarter became popular. Surely he could gather enough money to realise it in some shape or form. Not as an AAA project, naturally, but something more akin to Wasteland II. That would be preferable to complete oblivion.
@@thecandlemaker1329 Square Enix owns the IP so he’d have to license it from them, and that’s money that needs to exist even before the Kickstarter campaign. Though that IP (like Gex and Fear Effect) is available through their Square Enix collective crowdfunding initiative.
*"That's the end of the secret levels, but not the end of the pain"* Civvie's words are inspiring as always! I feel like Civvie is going to be traumatized by Monks and Enfoncers after this. I hope next game doesn't have them xD
I had a vivid memory of 1995, i was 7 years old, watching one of the old TV shows we used to get in Chile about video games, and i remember watching a scene from a FPS where the character shoots white balls out of his hand and the enemies disappear. I never found the game and in my mind i even thought i had dreamt it up or had a weird case of Mandela effect, thinking that Catacomb Abyss was the game i saw, but i knew wasnt. Then, decades later, i watch Civvie's video and i discover the truth: I was right, the game was Rise of the Triad and of course ive never played the game, though i had heard of it. Thank you captain Civvie, for putting my demons to rest.
so happy I found your channel! I'm going through a lot in my personal life and this helps me laugh through some of the troubles. Thank you and please keep it up!
Extreme ROTT is less a dickish Mario maker level or Kaizo Mario world and more the ROTT version of Mario 2: a reskin of the first game with new levels where the bad guy tries again by going to an alternate timeline and when you go to stop him he pulls no punches.
I was literally just looking at your Patreon like, "Oh wow, looks like Civvie's doing Extreme ROTT. That'll be fun to watch" and then I go to your channel homepage and see you uploaded it like 10 minutes ago lol. As a poor boi who can't afford Patreon, thank you Civvie for your impeccable timing.
The feeling you get when you recognize the intro track from Doom II Scythe Map30, Alien Vendetta map25, and Hell Revealed map19 before discovering it was from ROTT.
I may play these myself. I may watch you play them. I may have you playing in the background while I do other things. But when I do I'm happy that I can. Thank you for continuing to make these.
"I feel bad for mentioning it exists because people are going to find it on Apogee's website and play it." Nah, they just casually add it to the remaster so EVEN MORE PEOPLE will suffer unknowingly ;P (relatively speaking)
i really like how you have "chapters" in your episodes, it feels like a journey through the hell that game is awesome work like always dude keep it up :o)
@@shlokwaghela9560 well, if it helps, he also says 18's still hanging around and that he quit smoking. Oh, and all those pictures of the dude with the makeshift colander hat that he used in his past videos? Those are all him too. Just old pictures. Civvie lowkey cute ngl 😌
This is my first time seeing a youtuber keep up their promise in saying 'we'll do X sometime'. Great lol. Also uh, is it just me or is this the shortest downtime we've had between two videos by Civvie? The Redneck Rampage episode came out like... not a week ago.
Agreed, Lots of retro shooters are still fun to play today but not only does RoT look super unappealing visually, the gameplay itself doesn't look fun at all, just obnoxious and annoying. Maybe it's not so bad on hard but.. yeah. Don't see the appeal.
I really do appreciate these videos, it's nice to see old fps like Doom, Quake and Duke (back when he was relevant). It's like learning about the history of how we got to where we are now, and I probably wouldn't have known about games like Blood and Shadow Warrior without these videos (I only knew of the new Shadow Warrior games and boy did I not like the one I played. It just didn't grab me)
I discovered this channel about 3 years ago, and seeing the quality of these videos go up and up while Civvie continues to play some of my favorite (and most hated) childhood games.....it's just.....it's somethin special ya know?
Is this like "The Last Starfighter" where you have to win at a brutally difficult game to get whisked off to save an alien race? There is literally no other reason to play all these levels without cheating... or, uh, at all.
EROTT and both versions of The HUNT Begins are free extras with the GOG version of Dark War if I remember right, so we don’t even need to get them from Apogee’s site unless we want the versions of the shareware wad with the shareware ending.
“Back when DLC was called an expansion pack and you bought it in the store for like 20 bucks” Man I been saying this for years and all that happens is people call me crazy.
-The beginning of Triadagio (E1A3) is a botched setup. A whole array of Low Guards were supposed to spawn as an ambush if the intended sequence was set off. But it often doesn't happen because it's easy to mess it up. -The Triad Enforcer ambush at the start of Sky Tunnels (E3A2) is very easy, just a dragged-out. If you strafe-run around the center structure after they spawn, they'll keep blasting grenades into the GAD hitboxes, killing themselves more easily. You don't even need to go up the GADs for any missile weapon to survive that. -E4 in fact has 6 secret levels, not 5. -At the end of Welcome to the Machine, you're supposed to lure the Triad Enforcers from out of that corridor with the exit by going backwards out of that GAD barrier obstacle course. Since you can shoot through the walls, you can stay far from them and easily pick them off. E4A4 (Pykus Peak), at the end, the left path isn't a death trap because there's a Dog Mode powerup there to both survive the Triad Enforcer ambush and get you out of there.
"is a botched setup. A whole array of Low Guards were supposed to spawn as an ambush if the intended sequence was set off. But it often doesn't happen because it's easy to mess it up." Not if you did it the intended way which was to use a flamewall on the visible guards in front of you so when you flicked the switch all the ones you killed that you couldn't see burst into flames.
@@JoeSiegler It's easy to miss, though. There are only a few low level enemies ahead, so cautious thinking (since it is Extreme ROTT after all) can naturally lead to conserving the flamewall ammo and just trying to snipe them out from afar. Not that it matters because there is still a failsafe in place in case the trap wasn't set off as intended. The columns next to the player in that area shift away, and the wall segment they were blocking before can then be pushed to get out of there, in case the player is trapped. Actually, a setup where the player is deceitfully encouraged into hitting the switch instead of using the flamewall would be truly evil.
@@JoeSiegler True, that. Also, I'm replaying EROTT on stream. It's a lot less talky than last time, maybe too little; and I'm perhaps too collected whenever I get killed. So it might not be your ideal watch of playing through it :P
I came from the Doom Thy Flesh Consumed video. Time to binge on all these weird ass gamea I played as a kid and not remembering the names of them. What a nostalgic trip !
Finally!!! You got around to reviewing this! I was working on a video review if EROTT. But you covered everything brilliantly. I'll just type in DIPSTICK
At some point I realised that, despite being and FPS, Rise of the Triad's level design is basically all those 8-Bit and 16-Bit Mario games. Which makes Extreme the 'Lost Levels' of ROTT.
Fun fact: on the highest difficulty, Enforcers have 525 health. You know how much damage the MP40 does? 10. It does 10 damage. 53 rounds just to kill ONE Enforcer.
I'd be surprised if anybody could ever beat extreme rott on the highest difficulty
Here's hoping that the Triad Enforcer Chaingun is a usable weapon in the remaster.

And the amount of toast eaten is just right, just enough to add a little bit of spice to the lead. Darian would be proud.
And lots of lunchboxes were buried.
That clip of Gordon Ramsey yelling at Tom Hall has never been more appropriate.
I'm amazed at the restraint he exhibited to only use it once, without audio, and not make it about half of the video by volume.

I was literally just looking at your Patreon like, "Oh wow, looks like Civvie's doing Extreme ROTT. That'll be fun to watch" and then I go to your channel homepage and see you uploaded it like 10 minutes ago lol. As a poor boi who can't afford Patreon, thank you Civvie for your impeccable timing.
I love that your "It's monks! It's ALL MONKS!" Was used for the remaster trailer.
The feeling you get when you recognize the intro track from Doom II Scythe Map30, Alien Vendetta map25, and Hell Revealed map19 before discovering it was from ROTT.
Hell Revealed in particular (IIRC) uses a lot of ROTT MIDIs.
I may play these myself.
I may watch you play them.
I may have you playing in the background while I do other things.
But when I do I'm happy that I can.
Thank you for continuing to make these.
"This can't be good for me, but I feel great!"
Is there a price for reposting the same shit under every single video?
@@fonesrphunny7242 you can’t put a price on... whatever he gains from this.
"This can't be good for me, and likewise I can feel my Hall-tortured soul escaping my mortal form!"
"I feel bad for mentioning it exists because people are going to find it on Apogee's website and play it."
Nah, they just casually add it to the remaster so EVEN MORE PEOPLE will suffer unknowingly ;P (relatively speaking)
The height of gaming excitement right here
Full respect for tossing in a scene from Name of the Rose.

Not sure if they are up your alley but I'd love to see the first two Soldier of Fortune games played on your channel.
It's Raven, I'm sure it's on his list somewhere.
i really like how you have "chapters" in your episodes, it feels like a journey through the hell that game is
awesome work like always dude keep it up :o)
My boy Civvie coming in clutch. Thanks for making today a little bit better!
The moment you accept Katie is Civvie, is the day you become mature

Tha nowt really simplifies my fantasy of a threesome. Foursome if Cancermouse isn't opposed to role-playing a gerbil...
It would explain a great many things
I went and asked Civvie on Twitter. He confirmed Katie doesn't exist. :C
@@papayer Even though I knew that was the case, I do not want to believe it
@@shlokwaghela9560 well, if it helps, he also says 18's still hanging around and that he quit smoking.
Oh, and all those pictures of the dude with the makeshift colander hat that he used in his past videos? Those are all him too. Just old pictures. Civvie lowkey cute ngl 😌
This is my first time seeing a youtuber keep up their promise in saying 'we'll do X sometime'. Great lol.
Also uh, is it just me or is this the shortest downtime we've had between two videos by Civvie? The Redneck Rampage episode came out like... not a week ago.
Well, AVGN reviewed Raid 2020 in 2020, so Civvie isn't only one keeping his promises.
>Keeping promises
>Chickened out on a TNT video
Hahahahahaha… *_NO._*
@@borrisnorris2028 i may be mistaken but i don't think he ever actually promised to do TNT
"Finally, we're back to that nice feeling of punishment."
- Civvie 11, 2019
Can't wait to re-watch this 30 times this week!
This seems like the kind of expansion you make to punish everyone who said that the base game wasn't challenging enough.
I swear this game rides entirely on the soundtrack.
Yea it actually looks obnoxious as hell gameplay wise. That soundtrack is just so god damned awesome though
To be fair, it did rocket jumping before quake so that's pog
@@indigo1149 tru
@@indigo1149 afaik it even did rocket jumping before Marathon did
Agreed, Lots of retro shooters are still fun to play today but not only does RoT look super unappealing visually, the gameplay itself doesn't look fun at all, just obnoxious and annoying. Maybe it's not so bad on hard but.. yeah. Don't see the appeal.
One of the best Civvie episodes. Rewatching this masterpiece
I really do appreciate these videos, it's nice to see old fps like Doom, Quake and Duke (back when he was relevant). It's like learning about the history of how we got to where we are now, and I probably wouldn't have known about games like Blood and Shadow Warrior without these videos (I only knew of the new Shadow Warrior games and boy did I not like the one I played. It just didn't grab me)
I discovered this channel about 3 years ago, and seeing the quality of these videos go up and up while Civvie continues to play some of my favorite (and most hated) childhood games.....it's just.....it's somethin special ya know?
When I see those monks, I can only think of Grezzo 2. Now talking about it, would be awesome watching you play Grezzo 2!
Imagine if Tom Hall got to make that final Commander Keen trilogy. He wouldn't have been angry enough to work on this.
Eat lead! Eat Eat Eat Eat Lead!
What a banger, deserves a Grammy 100%
EAT TOAST
3:18 hit scan revennants now there's an idea
11:15 It's all monks again! IT'S ALL MONKS AGAIN!!
A good subtitle for this expansion would be "Oops! All monks!"
Is this like "The Last Starfighter" where you have to win at a brutally difficult game to get whisked off to save an alien race? There is literally no other reason to play all these levels without cheating... or, uh, at all.
Civvie, your videos bring me great joy and have been a heartwarming companion in these trying times. Thank you for everything you and Katie do.
*im sorry but Katie is not real*
*sips coffee* looks like this is gonna be a fine morning.
EROTT and both versions of The HUNT Begins are free extras with the GOG version of Dark War if I remember right, so we don’t even need to get them from Apogee’s site unless we want the versions of the shareware wad with the shareware ending.
“Back when DLC was called an expansion pack and you bought it in the store for like 20 bucks”
Man I been saying this for years and all that happens is people call me crazy.
Extreme rise of the triad is one of the only games that makes you truly feel like you're a one man army. Because you die, a lot.
19:47 Nah, I'm with Civvie on this one, Katie. That was too obscure to be considered an effective hint.
-The beginning of Triadagio (E1A3) is a botched setup. A whole array of Low Guards were supposed to spawn as an ambush if the intended sequence was set off. But it often doesn't happen because it's easy to mess it up.
-The Triad Enforcer ambush at the start of Sky Tunnels (E3A2) is very easy, just a dragged-out. If you strafe-run around the center structure after they spawn, they'll keep blasting grenades into the GAD hitboxes, killing themselves more easily. You don't even need to go up the GADs for any missile weapon to survive that.
-E4 in fact has 6 secret levels, not 5.
-At the end of Welcome to the Machine, you're supposed to lure the Triad Enforcers from out of that corridor with the exit by going backwards out of that GAD barrier obstacle course. Since you can shoot through the walls, you can stay far from them and easily pick them off.
E4A4 (Pykus Peak), at the end, the left path isn't a death trap because there's a Dog Mode powerup there to both survive the Triad Enforcer ambush and get you out of there.
"is a botched setup. A whole array of Low Guards were supposed to spawn as an ambush if the intended sequence was set off. But it often doesn't happen because it's easy to mess it up."
Not if you did it the intended way which was to use a flamewall on the visible guards in front of you so when you flicked the switch all the ones you killed that you couldn't see burst into flames.
@@JoeSiegler It's easy to miss, though. There are only a few low level enemies ahead, so cautious thinking (since it is Extreme ROTT after all) can naturally lead to conserving the flamewall ammo and just trying to snipe them out from afar.
Not that it matters because there is still a failsafe in place in case the trap wasn't set off as intended. The columns next to the player in that area shift away, and the wall segment they were blocking before can then be pushed to get out of there, in case the player is trapped. Actually, a setup where the player is deceitfully encouraged into hitting the switch instead of using the flamewall would be truly evil.
@@josephwj7199 Well, given I made the level, that was my intent. I'm not saying it's perfect, just what I intended. :)
@@JoeSiegler True, that. Also, I'm replaying EROTT on stream. It's a lot less talky than last time, maybe too little; and I'm perhaps too collected whenever I get killed. So it might not be your ideal watch of playing through it :P
@@josephwj7199 Not sure what you mean by "a lot less talky".
20:40 straight one of the best things on the internet 🤣🤣
I came from the Doom Thy Flesh Consumed video. Time to binge on all these weird ass gamea I played as a kid and not remembering the names of them. What a nostalgic trip !
The Civvie video we didn't knew we wanted, but he gave it to us.
Hey speak for yourself, he said in the original video that he'd do this and I've been looking forward ever since.
5:03 funny how he's talking about UP when that monk on the right there gets absolutely ejected
I need a 10 hour version of "Eat Lead."
Edit: Eh, 1 hour is good enough.
You're gonna turn it off after 15 minutes anyways.
@@fonesrphunny7242 you dont know me.

Kriss krost as a name for an endboss who has a twin. Understanding this reference made me feel sooo old.
Finally!!! You got around to reviewing this! I was working on a video review if EROTT. But you covered everything brilliantly. I'll just type in DIPSTICK
At some point I realised that, despite being and FPS, Rise of the Triad's level design is basically all those 8-Bit and 16-Bit Mario games.
Which makes Extreme the 'Lost Levels' of ROTT.
extreme rott is way more like those kaizo mario levels with how sadistic it is
I need "Eat Lead" as my wake up alarm.
This made me giggle all the way through. Nice work
"You are not going to enjoy it"
ROTT in a nutshell.
I swear RUclips straight up unsubbed me from Civvie. The hell, I need to watch this man's content. It fuels me with joy
Oh my god I've been waiting so long for this.
