Should I fix a ruined map or make a new one?

[Jolly chap*]

So, I really need your help.

1. I have a map that I have made since I was a n00b at WE. I've added heaps of things to it such as imports (a lot of 'em), triggered spells, simple AI but there are a lot of things in the map that are still n00bish and I can't find them or find a way to fix them without compromising the structural integrity of the map. Basically, the map looks like Frankenstein with extra parts.

2. I could make a new map that is similar to the old one (I still like the theme I have for it). This will take longer, of course, but I can start everything over and easily make it better without having to fix n00b things like n00b messages, n00b triggers etc ... plus, the map will look a lot better and fresher, too!

3. Give up altogether and make a completely new map/work on another map/help another person on a map.

+rep to those who can help me out.

I'd say help with a map or make a new one if you've learned a lot more then you did when making that map

Otherwise if your around the same area still, figure out what you did wrong so you learn from your mistakes and then you can continue on with your project

Yeah, make a new map - just don't try to make the old one better and better - It'll just get worse.

My thoughts exactly. If I had tried to make it even more better, I'm afraid that it'll get worse instead. +rep

I'm still confused between choices 2 and 3 though. +rep to those who can help.

No, if you like the concept you should make the same kind of map - number 2.
You can't let a good map concept go to waste

Well, I do like what I have for it, but I'd also like to try different maps (I've never done TDs, Tags and RPGs before). I might work on two maps at the same time, but I'll think about that. Thanks for the help. I can't give rep to you again, Randor244, sorry.

Hehe that's no problem

And yes, I think you should work on two maps at the same time - when you grow tired of one, just switch to the other, that way you might get some new, fresh ideas as well.

Ehm... You know, there is a good page of instructions here:

Three. A lot of people could use help on maps, and if they credit you, you become a WC3 entrepreneur and be infamous!

And besides, it's good experience and if you don't get credit, you can always ruin the map for the person by adding a stupid trigger that has a 9999sec cinematic that at the end has a Naga Royal Guard saying internet memes.

No, nevermind that last part.

But still, that's what I recommend.
