PL Eureka Mine stage 2 a38

[GigaBite]

GigaBite submitted a new resource:

Eureka Mine stage 2 - Functionally a single-stage map, this is stage 2 of 3.

Beyond the facade of the old Red mine, Blue team is pushing deeper into more recently developed Red territory to discover what's really going on.
This is a very early alpha version of stage 2 of Eureka Mine. This version is playable as a single-stage.
I am hoping to create a third stage in the future and merge all 3 together.
