OREL Beta 1 - The Original by Slashbot427

[Mike Nomad]

OK, so there's hanging trees, strange blades of super grass and floating fields of golden grain. So what! Its going to be fixed for the final release. In fact, Orel will be a marvel not unlike Berezina in quality.

Slashbot427 has a great concept and design in Orel and I'm certain the finished product will yield many, many hours of great entertainment. He recently (last week) said about Orel - the Final Version;

Slashbot_427;181432- "Don't worry, its on its way :) . The next (final) version is about 1/3 done. Not going to give away too much but theres an extra objective, the bridges have been replaced, the heights modified, all the trees redone, new houses, new scripts, better tank balance, more cover in areas. Basically the same idea tho."

The RGN crew and I'm certain the larger portion of the RO Community are looking forward to this jewel of map. You can bet your bottom dollar it'll be a permanent part of the RGN Server.

Can you tell I enjoy combined combat maps? :wink1:

Heinz, you are amazing and I certainly do appreciate your opinions. Slashbot's work was bastardized without permission by Enigma. Sure, when Slashbot was subsequently asked he was polite and gracious enough to be accommodating and say after the fact, that it was OK.

I don't wish to re-hash an old worn out topic but... NO map should be touched by anyone without the map author's permission. That is why I now encourage mappers to stated their work is copyrighted. To have some "Johnny come lately" barge in and change things is an outrage. Not to mention it being the epitome of callous disrespect.

Whether Orel has Panthers or Tigers, 76 or 85 T-34's is entirely up to the author, the creator of the map, its concept and gameplay plan must be his and his alone. Not some jerk wanting the map "his way". What was done to Orel by Enigma is no less serious than rape. For indeed he raped the map to "have it his way".

Whatever Slashbot_427 does with Orel and its future is entirely and rightfully his choice, not anyone else's. Further, have you seen on Map Orchestra where it "appears" that Slashbot_427 uploaded Orel 88vs76??

Orel is a great map on its own... Slashbot_427 should be permitted to finish it without outside belligerent interference and distractions.
