It states that the date for the A Dracolish Helmet map is June 12, 2003.
But 8 years later, on July 28, 2011, The Filth claimed that the Nexus Polaris map belonged to him without providing any evidence. The Filth joined Celestialheavens on January 6, 2006 and was quite active there, but did he not notice for many years that someone had taken his map? This is absurd! I reviewed all possible old and new sites, and nowhere does it mention The Filth as the author. And on September 26, 2020, Barbuta stated that Grigor Minchev took his Leon's Redemption map, but provided no evidence or link to it. I searched and on all sites the map is listed under Barbuta. But I learned the following about Barbuta:
https://www.heroes3maps.com/?author=Barbuta
He passed off the "Lord of the Ring" and "Alexander The Great" maps as his own, but nothing can be done about it because he only has a nickname, Barbuta. It’s easy to slander a competitor if you have been making maps for only 1 year and you only have one nickname, Barbuta, while he writes his full name. I also checked the Alice in Iceland map. I found the map only on this site:
https://www.maps4heroes.com/forum/op...id=1943&game=3
I downloaded the map and when I opened it, I saw that it said “Authors: Woshiyutong and Grigor Minchev.” This map is not on Minchev's website. There it says that only 21 of his newest maps and latest versions have been added, and he has another 40 old maps that are not posted on his site. In 2010, Skeeve wrote that he likes Accent1, Acceptable, Afrika maps. I don't know these maps because they are not on his site and they are old. Grigor Minchev is from Bulgaria. I found out that Barbuta and The Filth are also from Bulgaria. And Vallex, the real author of "Lord of the Ring," is also from Bulgaria. It seems like competition is clearly disliked there, in Bulgaria. Barbuta has only 2 maps and loves to self-promote them, for example here:

Grigor Minchev and Vallex do not advertise their maps anywhere. Barbuta should stop slandering competitors and accusing someone of stealing your map without providing evidence or a link, while you stole 2 other people's maps, which there is evidence for. I believe that the Alice in Iceland map is very old and he decided to upload it just now. The map was created in collaboration with Woshiyutong, as indicated on the map. I see many maps by other authors made in collaboration on various sites, and this is normal. I found another map by Minchev from 2007 called Aniconicq, which was co-authored with KingSlayer:

Barbuta, why are you envious and writing nonsense about a person who has been using his full name for 19 years and making maps only out of enthusiasm? Do you want to discredit Minchev, like they did with Valery, and also steal his maps?
This is Minchev’s website. It contains only the latest versions of his newest maps. There I found version 1.3 of the A Long Way map:
