Good read
-not that I read all of it- funny to see both myself and my brother on it. Surprised anyone even remembers my first attempt at a Colloseum, hehe.
Maybe nice to add that I was actually the scene editor behind the very first custom maps on the 33rd NW siege server, which ended up becoming the most popular server after the 84e hegemony came to an end after a good long run.
Actually looked for some of the maps I did and found some on youtube (be it later than I created them). You might recognize some:

I still have some screenshots even, for those that dig the memories:

I am not going to pretend they were the cleanest scenes from a pure scene creator perspective, but I did try to create scenes that were 100% original
