Found the time to finish Paragon 2.0.
I have a few questions for its author.
1. I have no idea what this might be related to, but all scholars with useful skills are placed in such a way that this shouldn't happen.
2. Of course, that wasn't the intention; the question is, what did this give you?
3. Ethernia can be completed quite easily in one go. You can experiment in various ways; it all depends on what you're up to.
Regarding money and a sequel – I've already answered this, including here: I don't have the audacity to ask for money for a map for a game that's 17 years old. Although, yes, I have ideas for another map, and yes, I have much less time to implement them now.
