LOST CIVILIZATION - DEAN OF DOOM - S2E20 (Season Finale)

- Welcome to Dean of Doom, the show where we give grades to classic and contemporary Doom wads. Why? Because ranking things is fun. The last episode of Dean of Doom Season 2 will be dedicated to Lost Civilization, a 21-level megawad made by Jaakko Impola a.k.a. Jaska, in 2019. We’ve covered some diamonds in the rough this season: No Rest for the Living, Nova II, Tangerine Nightmare, Auger Zenith, and of course the bite-sized buffet of Sawed-Off Wads, but I saved Lost Civilization for last because it’s the one I’m most excited to showcase. If you’re not a daily Doomworld.com visitor or comprehensively Cacoward-literate, you are unlikely to have heard of Lost Civilization. Unmodded playthroughs of it are very scarce on the ‘Tube, and it’s rarely mingled with the heaviest hitters in conversations about personal favorite wads. The story They didn’t know it till now, but Doomworld users rd and TJG1289, are the reason this episode exists. Without their high regard for and glowing words about this wad, I would have shelved it for later and likely forgot about it. I’m really glad I didn’t. Lost Civilization is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in Doom: within a single playthrough, it became one of my desert island wads and today I hope to show you why.

As a muslim when we see something that’s too good we say “ Mashallah” and your content makes me say mashallah a lot.
The deep emotional outpouring that comes with your lovingly woven words on this old game is very deeply contagious, MtPain. I too found the Farmlands map utterly spellbinding on first playthrough, and was thrilled to see you give it the heartfelt write-up it justly deserved. Lost Civilization ranks very high on my all-time favorites list purely because of that map.
Thanks once again for the amazing videos!
It wasn't that deep or emotional.
I hope that you get some rest after season 2, there have been so many episodes recently, so I hope you pace yourself, for another amazing season!
I just realized: This season began and ended with a premiere. We've come full circle!
What do you mean by a premiere?
@@kinganarkzie UA-cam has a feature called premiere where the creator can schedule the video to release at a certain time, and everyone can watch and chat together. Kind of like a livestream, except it's a video.
@@corruptedcardinal9253 oh thanks 😊. I kept seeing this people talking about this being a premiere and I had no idea what they were on about.
Premiers on MtPain’s channel? Sweet!
That was such a great video, and the wad looks so excellent, especially that first half.. I'm amazed! That Doomcute is out of this world, and the scope and scale of the maps is jaw-dropping.. It must have taken so many hours to build. Seriously, the wad itself and the way you wrote/spoke about it was such a nice combo - Great stuff, and a really fitting conclusion to season 2!
I mean S2 E1 was premiered too :3
You can't hide from Alien Vendetta part 3 your whole life, DK.
MtPain27 literally cannot miss. Never take your writing talent for granted, man. I could listen to you describe paint drying for 50 minutes and it'd still be good. Case in point: the Master Levels review.
Season finales are for dramatic twists and cliffhangers. I'm predicting a shocking revelation re: the Delinquent of Doom's parentage 😳😳
You know what I really appreciate about Dean of Doom? The videos are LOUD. Most UA-cam videos are mixed so quiet I can't hear them without cranking my amplifier way up, which makes anything ELSE (like a game) ear-splittingly loud. Thanks for mixing your audio properly, MtPain27!
Thanks, the older ones are pretty crap, but I work at the current ones pretty hard. Appreciate you noticing!
I was expecting MM2 for season finale, but this wad was a perfect choice, even better than the expected wad. Thank you very much for a yet another great episode for a great wad. 👏👏👏
Was hoping for Sunlust, but I can't deny I was incredibly happy to see the announcement of the wad you'd be covering in this episode. So glad Lost Civilization hasn't been forgotten! It's the ultimate adventure wad. Loved it when it came out, and I'm surely playing it again real soon!!!
This is the closest I've ever seen a wad come to Dark Souls-like exploration, which I love. Few secret walls, more like secret ledges, corners, roofs, which feel rewarding every time you find one. This wad made me happy in so many ways. And the midis are so peaceful. And the architecture, oh boy. You go from tuscanian rolling fields to castles to forests. Feels like everything but doom, yet it's doom through and through.
And most of all, it's so accessible. Not rng-heavy, not too difficult, just perfectly balanced for me. I'd recommend everyone to look at the cacoward winners each year and play them. You could miss out on gems if you don't.
rubbing hands together eagerly
This totally went under my radar. Any wad that has our dear Dean waxing poetic and speaking in Ye Olde Englishe has to be good.
First of all, I did not expect this WAD this season. As I mentioned on the Struggle video, I expected this to be the ep 17 slot next season, but I'm very glad I got it earlier than expected!
Second, I absolutely did not expect to be one of the reasons you played this. That shoutout was so unexpected. rd I expect, just cause of how good their writing is when it comes talking about Doom WADs, but me? Thank you so much, and I'm very, VERY glad you enjoyed the WAD! Reminds me I need to update my top WADs list in that one thread, since I forgot to put this WAD on there in the first place. Oops.
But yeah, once again, you absolutely nailed why I like this WAD so much. Easily, the most realistic-looking WAD I've ever played. These locations look so good, some of them even put Build-engine levels to shame. Areas that look lived in but still feel like Doom are my absolute favorites, and LC is the pinnacle of that. The architecture, detailing, and Doomcute are some of, if not the best, I've ever seen. Even though these maps are huge, I don't mind it cause they're so fun to explore! I love the touch of having duplicates of keys for people who don't care about maxing a level and just want to go at their own pace. I think maps 3, 5, and 13 are my favs. The combat does seem to play second fiddle to the visuals and design, but I honestly do not care. These maps are just a wonder to play, and I hope the sequel is just as good if not better. I hope more people check this WAD out after watching this, cause it absolutely deserves it.
You mentioned the Farmlands as being memorable and special to you in a post I read probably a year ago: it stuck with me, and motivated me to go a little further in the wad, since I hadn't reached MAP 03 yet. Thank you.
I actually feel like if the combat design was stronger, it would detract from the experience. You'd end up focusing more on the combat and less on the beauty of the map. Lost Civilization is such a chill experience, and the not particularly challenging enemies throughout most of the wad are just enough to keep your senses sharp without demanding too much focus on gameplay (at the expense of taking in the surroundings).
I also like the duplicates of keys in some of the larger maps. It makes them very nonlinear, and I feel like some of them (especially the final map) would benefit from a "pick your own story" approach where the player resists the urge to poke in every corner in a single playthrough and instead picks a direction and sticks with it until they get to the end, and then picks a different path when they replay it. Also, some of these maps are big enough that if there were only a single key, you might end up overlooking it and spending half an hour backtracking about trying to find the area you missed.
@@MtPain27 Love your content! Do you have a spreadsheet (or similar) with your final scores for the different WADs that you have reviewed? I'd love to watch your reviews (and play) some of the outliers in both style and difficulty.
If you don't have such a list, then I strongly recommend including one for the video descriptions in Season 3. IMHO that'll make it easier for people to explore your backlog. Cheers!

These videos just keep getting better and better, thanks and GG on season 2!
I was playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land RIGHT before I saw this notification. I’d like to think that the in-universe Dean only knows of this WAD because Delinquent was playing his Switch during class.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Although i expected Resurgence as it is a sequel to SoD.
Hm... Sequels Month 2? (Resurgence, Memento Mori 2, and Scythe X).

I really, sincerely appreciate your willingness to share about your mental health on this channel. You may not have gone into specifics, but I want you to know that you're not alone. This channel and the content you create have been one of the chief comforts to me during my own depressive bouts over the last year. Thank you for your work, and enjoy your time off between seasons.
Of all the WADs on Dean of DOOM, something about Lost Civilization made me want to fit time into my busy schedule to play it. Having just finished, I can say it was definitely a lovely experience that I'm glad I had. The first handful of maps especially were beautifully made and great escapism to get lost in. Great job selling it - it deserves the praise.
It took me a while to get around to play Lost Civ. but thanks to you I finally have. And I just completed River Valley just a little ago. What a gem of map!!! I hadn't felt such a sense of wonder exploring a Doom Map since when I played Jade Earth for the first time, I think. It is honestly the single best Doom map I've ever played and one of the most interesting and joyful to explore worlds I've ever experienced in videogames in general. Thank you so, so much for sharing this wad with us MtPain. And of course, thank you so much Jaska for making this masterpiece.
Edit: oh, and forgot to mention. River Valley is the only Doom map I know of that almost-but-not-quite allows for a zombie run. That is, using the voodoo doll in the lumbermill at the beginning, hurt yourself with a barrel and then shoot the voodoo doll until Doomguy becomes a zombie. Then you can go through about two thirds of the map with all enemies ignoring you since you are a zombie. It's not actually possible to complete the map like this because a gaggle of imps block the entrance to the cave section that precedes the cathedral fight and as a zombie there is no way to move them out of the way.
I've been finding out about a lot of good mods though this series.
Man i remember recommending this wad forever ago! Glad to see you finally got around to it.
This was one of the best mapsets I'd ever discovered when I got back into playing Doom. I've beaten it multiple times, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this awesome wad.
The hype is real :)
Never played Lost Civilization but it's been on my radar for a while.
This season was absolute rapid fire, and no slouch in difficulty, full of genius ideas, great mapping, fantastic midis , Gene Bird, and more puns than next Skillsaw's wad, thanks MTP. You're da best Dean that Doom could have. See You next season :)
He actually covered the best Gene Bird maps too. The CC1 levels he did are leagues away from the terrible CC2 maps.
I thought the finale would be Sunlust. But i understand now why this megawad was chosen, it is really visually spectacular level pack, and the combat is no slouch, although i don't think somebody will beat Eviternity, Sunlust or even goddamn Sunder (don't review Sunder until it will be complete shitstorm of pain and revenant rockets among gigantic structures). Good rest, MtPain.
P.S.: Pls DM Civvie11, you're the only man who can convince him to make Pro TNT episode🗿
Imagine beating completed Sunder twice to review it... Still, it is my dream to hear MtPain ramble about it. Maybe we will, 5-6 years later.
I wouldn't hold your breath. He was very clear that Sunlust is on the bottom of the review pile.
I'm only 8 mins through this video and I've already decided to quit playing my GOAT wad Scythe 2 (for the 100th time) and download this. Your comments on Map 3 were moving and so well articulated, well done for a terrific season finale.
Lost civilization makes me remember how much I love nature DOOM maps.
dude, I've been hunting for this WAD ever since I had to wipe my hard drive
You just found my doom wad white whale, thank you!
Mt Pain's British accent is on point, though points deducted for saying ass instead of arse! 😜
Another great wad that is rarely mentioned: Bloodstain.
There was a Heretic megawad in 2012 called Masters of Chaos that had a map called "Nightmare" which similarly was a left-field mindf*ck, though it looks like what Jaska does here is otherwise quite different
A fantastic closer to this season! I saw this earlier today but the Doomkid premiers were about to start, so I had to do those first. Then I took a nap. Then I streamed Worms: Armageddon. Talked with my dad a bit. And to close the day, this puppy.
Thanks MtPain!
thanks for making Dean of Doom ! i've finished my first custom wad a couple hours ago thanks to your videos (Auger Zenith), despite not really being interested in playing doom myself - maybe i'll play more from DoD :) (edit : in fact after watching the first two levels - i'm not going to spoil it for myself and play this WAD probably!)
Just came back to this video after playing Lost Civ for myself and what a great time I had! Even the maps that were more disagreeable to me took up a notable space in my screenshots folder. I felt like a tourist, taking pictures at every cute detail or breath-taking vista. I think it's really cool how on our own both you and I recognized Map 13's last fight location as a campus. This definitely goes on my "must-play" list and I thank you very much for introducing me to yet another great megawad!
There's something about the looksif this wad that really hit me with...nostalgia? I dunno how can I describe it, but looks great!
Congrats on having finished this season, you always bring me good times, and helped me expand my doom horizons!
Doom 64, attempt: hope you have a great day
"Hold it!"
If it was my pee Frank McJump-Scare was telling me to hold, it's already too late! Good thing I hadn't quite unscrewed the cap off my water bottle at that point or I'd be demanding you pay for a new mechanical keyboard, mate. lmfao
I had forgotten this map pack existed, so when I saw it I thought "Oh cool, I should keep a lookout for this." By the statt of map 1 the memories came rushing back.
I think it's time for another playthrough. Thanks Mt.Pain27.
Hey Dean! Another lovely video as always,I do wanna point out that Lost Civilization does have a secret map called “Spiderweb Arena” it’s unfortunately not marked as a secret on Map 15 which is always a headache to deal with. Perhaps that could give something to look forward to on a repeat playthrough. Anyone great video as always and I’m happy to see this WAD get more attention.
Yep, I know, but there are no monsters in it. It's just a layout that Jaska wanted to include so it wasn’t totally wasted.
Is there a secret exit on map 15 then? And where can you find it?
@@jefjam2900 Nah I was mistaken, Map 31 is only accessible via IDCLEV or the console,it’s a map that was only included because Jaska didn’t want it to go to complete waste.
@@MtPain27 My version has 42 monsters in it, but it still does feel really unfinished.
Doomguy and the Forgotten Land looks great! XP
I dunno why, but I'm more excited about the April fool's special.
Nevertheless, I can't wait for this season finale! To the third we go!
Sunder review let's go.
POGGERS definitely
Am still hoping for Plutonia 7...
Mock 2: The Speed of Stupid???? I doubt it but it'd be pretty funny to see.
@@Lvl31Gardevoir Already did it last time(disguised as a Sunlust review).
I love the fact that the main villain in the WAD is the scientist sprite from Blake Stone Aliens of Gold...

DEAN OF DOOM SEASON FINALE : REAL SHIT
I must congratulate you for doing an even season which has everything from the good, the bad, the easy(ish) , the HARD, the new, the old, the stylistic, the ID-ish, the big, the small, you get the idea. Will this season have a graduation or a special (like the master levels?)
Yep, graduation is coming soon, just didn't have my ducks in a row in time to release it right after this. Look for it next week.
Dean of doom is my favorite UA-camr
I discovered this series right after the end of your hard sequels month and it's been one of the most fun series on UA-cam I've had the pleasure of seeing.
Thank you for all you do for the Doom community.
Very exciting, this wad has helped me through some hard times this year, I'll be happy to see you cover it Dean.
Wasn’t expecting this map for the finale, nor was I expecting this to be your favorite tied with valiant. Adding it to the bucket list.
And with all of this said, thank you for another great season of DOD, MtPain. And man was this a ride. Your writing’s improved, you gave us a good laugh with Mock 2, we got some great megawads, some…not so great megawads (hell revealed 2, community chest, memento mori), you’ve conquered 3 hard sequels (Sidenote, I went ahead and savescummed through Death, Afterlife II, and Nightmare in Scythe 2 and yeah, they are hard), and…well if nothing else, you’ve given us some great doom wads to check out. I’m personally getting a kick out of Auger Zenith, I’m saving tangerine nightmare for Halloween, and need I mention Heartland? Once again, I’m happy to have gone along for the ride, MtPain, and i can’t wait for graduation!
Can't Believe we reach the end of season 2 now and end with such a beautifully crafted wad, watching your videos really inspired me to make my own doom wads, thanks mtpain27
This WAD takes "Doom cute" to a whole new level, and it's one of the best adventure sets I've ever played. I'm very excited to hear your take on this one. Excellent choice for a season closer, too.
Oohh boy, christmas came early this year.
Way to build up the suspense and anticipation MtPain!
This wad is a modern classic for sure. It’s sense of realism is pretty much unparalleled. Not a feature I usually look for in doom, but it’s hard to resist the naturalistic landscapes and stone cold architecture.
God I remember my first playthrough of Lost Civilization. It was with the Treasure Tech gameplay mod. Never gonna forget it.
Honest to god i got really excited when i got the notification for this vid cause like lost civilization is an absolute gem! The atmosphere, the open ended design, nearly everything about it appealled to me in every way. To be honest though some of the later maps were kindy iffy, and ill be real, map 19 was the worst one for me. But overall fantastic video, it's great to know that we both had similar first time experiences with map 3!
this is a wad i've played forever ago, I forgot the name over the years but mountain village and ending always stuck with me as a really fun maps that I always look back on fondly
its nice to see this reviewed and to have the memories slowly flow back as I vaguely remember the maps you review, now I gotta replay this
DSDA Doom has some great features. In particular, the on-screen kill counter and you can use the rewind button if you accidentally exit a map or fall into a pit.
Thanks for spotlighting this wad, MtPain. I'm playing it now and I totally get your enthusiasm - this is such a refreshing change of pace to most Doom wads. Great atmos, music and design!
I love how in your map 8 review, your British accent oscillates between awful and terrifyingly good.
this is the exact type of wad coverage i was looking for.
now this is the kind of joy of doom you love to see
Like an all-star marathon runner with irritable bowel syndrome, it outpaces its peers up until it shits itself near the finish line.
Thankfully, the finale more than makes up for the monumental screwup that MAP19 was.
All in all, a fantastic WAD that everyone should give a go.
Your hard work and dedication to this series has inspired not only my love for Doom, but the community's as well. You're one of my favorite content creators, and I look forward to what's next.
I did not know this WAD from its name. I love Lost Civilization especially with the Trailblazer mod. The fun is great.
it’s so refreshing to see someone with the same deep emotional connection with this wad. during the begging of the pandemic, I was on the verge of an emotional collapse, the future was numb and I didn’t know exactly what would happen next. However, one day I stumble at this wad, I adored everything about it, the music, the architecture, the overall mood, literally everything, so it distracted me from the stresses of the real world at the time. Lost civilization helped me through tough times and is my favorite wad of all time. Thank you Jaska for this experience and thank you MtPain for this wonderful video and probably my favorite ep of the series.
So glad you rediscovered your passion with this WAD. Love this channel, looking forward to many seasons to come!
An amazing and incredibly unique wad to save to cap off an amazing season 😀
I like that I decide to boot this wad up after a long time and here is a review of it!
Is this your first premiere??!! Look at you!! Thanks for all you do. You've taught me to try new wads and not be ashamed to step down to hurt me plenty if needed. Hopefully it's only a short(but restful) break between seasons
Definitely setting a reminder for when this video drops
I've had this WAD sitting in my Doom WADS folder for a while. Your video has persuaded me to finally give this one a go after never getting past Mountain Pass. Thanks for the great content! Look forward to seeing more!
This has the most gorgeous map designs I have ever seen in the Doom engine. Like this runs circles visually around anything ID software themselves made on this engine.
The music is absolutely dirty filthy in this wad. I almost broke my neck.
this series has made me come back to doom to play so many wonderful wads, i cant wait for season 3 and thank you for making these videos
A phenomenal WAD to end out the season. I'm definitely grabbing this one to go through later on. This is definitely something worth experiencing for yourself. The Dean's glowing final grade is just the icing on top of the non-linear cake.
i dont know what i like more watching you endure sadism at its finest or play something you truly enjoy
keep doin yer thing and ride them highs and lows
just part of the proses
Thank you for another great season. Hoping you'll get some rest!
I'll admit I never heard of Lost Civilization, so I'll try it out and edit this comment with my thoughts by the time the video goes live.
EDIT: I clearly underestimated the quality of this megawad. This might take a while.
Thank you and the people who make you try this out, it's now my favorite wad, map 4 is so good omg
i've loved all your videos. i'm glad you got to end this season on such a high note!
I just hope you are feeling better now. Amazing work as always, thank you for the show, and also thanks to the incredible map authors showcased in this season. Your series is my favorite content in all youtube.
This is actually an amazing WAD.
This season was very awesome, Waiting for your Graduation-02 video.
The Map 17 track is a slightly goofy MIDI cover of Granite by Pendulum. The original track works better energy-wise.
dean of doom when enemies are spammed on the map : insert wojack pointing meme
That Map 8 opener really made me want a Heretic w/ Dungeon Master Dean
I laugh every time I hear “Gantlet”.
So I'm close to the end of this wad and I have to say so far I've liked it a LOT! Again I'm playing through it with Corruption Cards and this time I went for an effect where every few minutes, damaging rain falls in all outside areas. This drastically changes how you gotta approach these maps since more than 90% is an outside area. You deliberately have to search for spots with some ceiling or a roof over your head, which makes my playthrough an even more interesting experience.
The toughest map under these circumstances was map 05, because the only safe spot is near the top of the volcano, and the very end of the map.
But enough of that, I'm really liking all the exploration and the natural environments in this wad. Map 4 took me 2 hours to complete and I had to use google to find the BFG secret, but the map is perfectly doable without it. Map 4 felt like its own little adventure and the acid rain effect slowed my gameplay down even more, but I didn't mind it. Fun fact: In the very beginning of this map inside the sawmill, you can actually see another one of those NPCs you found in one of map 13's secrets.
I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the city levels later on but they're still fun. The Nightmare map was an exciting little departure and mini-challenge, I actually struggled quite a bit with it my first time around.
I'm curious what the final few maps are gonna be like, I'm currently in map 15.
This wad is a masterpiece in my eyes. It looks beautiful, the music is amazing, and the combat is awesome. I also adore the non-linear design of these levels!
Thank you for the review and congratulations on finishing Season 2. Very much looking forward to Season 3!!!!
This video is why I ended up marathoning this set over a three-day period. This is easily one of the greatest mapsets I've ever played. Thanks for the great videos!
PS: Cyber-Steward holy hand grenades? I will never look at a Cyberdemon the same way again.
Every episode has been a joy to watch ! Time to watch season 2 again
Aaaahhhhhhh........a nice breath of fresh air from the typically hellish and techbase levels!!!!!!!!!!! Open RPG levels are so much fun!
This seems like an especially interesting megawad, much different from the more linear levels we've seen in Doom, thanks for bringing light to this one as I feel we need more Doom wads that try to replicate real enviroments.
I've discovered your videos through some friends on our Doom Discord server, and i am in love with your competence and profissionalism. Have a rest and keep dooming, friend!
Another banger by MtPain, words can't even describe how much I and many others love and appreciate what you do!
I really really love this wad! There are so many pathways and secrets to find.
So I gave this one a playthrough today, man this is some great stuff. Lots of exploration, but *not* frustratingly much (so far). What a wad!
Damn, what a joyride Season 2 has been. Awesome work, awesome wads! Excited for graduation day, Dean - congrats on muscling through this season, especially the past couple months of near-weekly uploads. That's a very tough schedule to keep up and you've earned yourself a good long break for surviving it. Please do take care of yourself and rest for a while - you must be exhausted, and burnout is the enemy. Take as much time as you need, it'll just make season 3 that much more exciting when you're ready to bring it!
Such a grand wad as this does deserve the honor to be in the season finale. I never expected to see the Lost Civilization featured in this channel.
This was a great season! Thanks so much MtPain, loved this finale :D Really gotta look at Lost Civilization
This could be my favourite episode, will definitely be downloading this one
Thanks for sharing this beautiful wad. I started to play it because of your review and i'm not dissapointed. My personal favorite map is 04 - river valley. I got so excited about all this organic connections / alternative routes in this level. Never felt so happy for searching secrets in doom. So much fun in exploration here.
I haven't gone beyond map 6 yet (desperately need to upgrade my rig), but 4 has the best gameplay by a mile. At least if your PC is better than the 2015-ish average...
*EDIT 1 YEAR LATER:* I was correct about that last assumption. A Ryzen CPU and a GPU that supports Vulkan can run _all_ of Lost Civ with essentially no frame drops; only map20 brings the framerate to 50-ish FPS if you look over the huge central vista.
I had to play through the WAD first before even watching this episode, and I do not regret it one bit. Thank you for making me aware of this glorious behemoth of aesthetics and immersive environment. I think the first half of the WAD is the strongest, especially the first three maps. The perfect atmosphere setters. It actually caused me to make a decision to simply walk through the maps instead of running - not out of caution, but due to the sheer immersive atmosphere it has. It gave me a strong feeling of Doomguy investigating the remnants of a civilization that once prospered, now with only monsters remaining and few survivors to tell the tale.
Fun All Around: MAP09
Visually Impressive: (almost) ALL OF IT
Slog To Wade Through: MAP20
Forgettable Blank: Probably MAP17
Blood-Boiler (frustrating): MAP20, purely because of the secrets.
Jawbreaker (difficulty spike): MAP19
