Nothing special about this UV run - aside from the fact that it was my first UV won and that I decided to ask for an advice in "Discussion" forum and then decided to post progress reports in the same topic (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php?topic=1775.0).  This caused me to slow down enough to play more carefully and was probably the reason I won the game.

The only four monsters left were the Barons in Chained Court - I thought about tackling them but then decided not to...

A few main differences from lower difficulties:
1) Arch-Viles appear much earlier, so plan ahead how to deal with them;
2) There are many more enemies, with frequent tight groups of 2-3 Barons, 0-1 Arch-vile, several captains and lesser former marines and possibly 1-2 commandos.  I used rocket launcher and/or BFG to soften them  up then finish with plasma rifle or chaingun;
3) I had two thermies - are they more frequent there?
4) there seemed to be more invincibility globes than I've ever seen - but it might be random.  For example, I had really rotten luck with armors, for example - seeing around 3 red armors total (no Armory!) and not many blue ones as well.
5) Ammo is plentiful - more enemies means more drops; besides, you canmilk former commandos resurrected by Arch-Viles much more often (same goes for captains and Arachnotrons).

After I nuked Cybie I was somewhat at a loss what to do next and did not immediately noticed the stairway next to me.  If I took it immediately instead of wandering around for several turns, invincibility might not have worn off too early...

Enjoy!

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 318 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 283 of those were killed.
 6 of those were killed by something unknown.
 And 23 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 6 souls claim to have killed him...
 6 killed the bastard and survived.

You didn't even see HIM, did you? ;-)

Nope - judging by the explosion animation, HE was on the other side.  I thought about killing him legitimately (a BFG with 130 powercells and a rocket launcher would do the trick, wouldn't they?)

Something tells me no.
