@deepstrasz I misread your reply. My bad. I guess I'll just complain when a map moderator rejects the map I post in the map section just because it doesn't work properly in the new game version.
 
@Strydhaizer and @deepstrasz Do you guys have any idea when that rule was made? As if it was made in 2008/2007 before ActiBlizz merger then it would be pretty easy to prove how unfair that rule is for 2020 where Blizzard is no longer like it was before the merger.
 
@deepstrasz I looked at the rule and it says 'preferably' not 'mandatory' or 'required'.
13. Compatibility
All maps must run in an unmodified version of Warcraft 3 and preferably work in the latest version of the game.

We can still upload maps made in older versions.
 
Ultimately we want people to move forward, but we don't expect an exact date. You can be pretty sure the reviewer tests with the latest version of the game or at least will soon, so it's better to at least be forward compatible.
 
@Ralle My observation is that pretty much all the map reviewers are on pre- 1.32 though.

Alexen who was initially a judge in the mini RPG contest had to withdraw from being a judge because he didn't have 1.32.
Deepstrasz is on 1.31.
I'm unsure about Shar but I think he's on 1.29.
 
@Ralle Thanks for the response. The problem is patches 1.32+ don't support custom campaigns so how can I make my custom campaign forward compatible? Also, there was no patch this week so I don't expect them to add cc to Reforged in less than a year.
 
@Power107 I'd say just go for 1.30 or 1.31. I'm not doing jack shit in 1.32 / Reforged until Blizzard fixes their game completely. And by that I mean makes custom campaigns available as it was before (not some Starcraft 2 arcade style bullshittery).

Maps developed in 1.31 is playable on the latest patch anyway, just sounds won't work properly, and some models will look really weird.
