A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

Apparently, the issue lies in the map format being that of *The Shadow of Death* (a later version). Download *The Shadow of Death* (version 3.2) or the Platinum Collection from Buka (Complete Edition 4.0), as they are essentially the same.

Place the maps in the "maps" folder, of course (just in case I need to mention it).

and another question... does it really cost 100 rubles?

*Armageddon's Blade* doesn't cost anything because no one plays it. And why pay for something that's freely available for download?
