It features a variety of room types and layouts and other alterations, as well. For example, a "hallway" layout with a horizontal, centered passage that has 10-12 rooms that connect not only through it's endpoints, but also through mainly N/S passageways that all connect with the main hallway; or a 4x5 set of tinier rooms connected with more numerous passages. Passageways also connect nonadjacent rooms.

For example, a "hallway" layout with a horizontal, centered passage that has 10-12 rooms that connect not only through its endpoints, but also through mainly north-south passageways that all connect with the main hallway; or a 4x5 set of tinier rooms connected with more numerous passages.
