I appreciate it. Surprised folks still enjoy my older races. They need major overhauls. I can provide an older version, but the functionality of it leaves a lot to be desired. Why are you so opposed to reforged?

If you have Fel/Dark Orc map(s) that work for 1.21b, I'd be stoked. Same goes for "ultimate battle," I've read good things but I believe the latest versions of the map here on Hive are a few patches ahead of my version of WC3 so the "start game" button just loops the up and down animation of the menu select.
As for reforged: my stance is that it's an overall inferior product. It mismanaged the potential for its production (a member of the original WC3 team, DesignerDave who can be found on YouTube, mentions more nuanced details in several of his videos), and despite updating its visual and audio assets these didn't improve on the original— but instead made it worse in a lot of ways (former pro player Grubby goes over this in a few videos, going so far as to compare Reforged cinematics against fan made ones, the latter being far more, well, cinematic). I also just don't appreciate the idea of the remake engine cannibalizing the classic version without my consent.
