Maahir's Gambit 2.0

To be honest, simply stating that you reworked an existing map doesn't justify the action. I would understand if the author took an idea from this scenario and created a new one, a second campaign for Maahir. I would understand if they borrowed a design idea (but not the entire design). But taking a complete, ready-made map, reworking it, and posting it as a separate one... They would have been better off making a mod called "Enhanced Neutrals in Original Scenarios." Then the cover would match the content. But no, there's a separate scenario on the forum that I'll still have to add to the list of participants in Cartmaster (and then we'll send the reward to the developers). There's no clear boundary: you can borrow this much, that much, and also this much. Every case is different. There are mapmakers who borrow small sections of script – it's a complex topic, and understandably, there's a reluctance to delve into it (but I advise trying to figure it out yourself a thousand times). But to take the entire map script? That's more like theft... And in this case, what green-69 did doesn't qualify as a separate scenario. Nor does it qualify as a "reboot" of the original. But you're saying: the author is great, huge thanks to the author. So, in other words, keep reworking original maps; that's exactly what mapmaking needs! Grigoriy created a campaign for the Nagas, Andrei_21 made great classic campaigns... against this backdrop, the work done by green-69 looks pale, and to me, it's simply disgusting. You'll say: the author's merit lies in the changes to the map, which turned out to be very cool... The awful island and the change in balance (and, in my opinion, it's worse than the original)?! Perhaps there's a real need for people to write here: thanks for the update to the old scenario, but it's better to create your own. And I'm not worried specifically about this scenario, but about the trend. Let's be honest, green-69 is a very bad mapmaker. All of his works are permeated with a lack of desire to improve and a reluctance to learn from mistakes. On the forum, there are only pathetic scraps under his authorship and a remake of an original scenario. And he'll continue to make subpar remakes. Why have a bunch of remakes among real, new scenarios? There's no need. He can release a mod – no problem. What he wrote, he created. But the author didn't create a scenario; not even close. I... hope that green-69 reads my discouraging reviews and understands that this isn't bullying out of personal hatred. And maybe he'll start making new, original scenarios, each one better than the last? And if there's no desire to improve, then it's better to do nothing than to create something subpar.
