Re: Conquer Club Dispatch Interrogation- cairnswk
Cairn, which map are you proudest of?
If you could go back and revise one of your maps, which would it be?
Which of the other maps on CC do you wish you had thought of?
What are some things you wish you could do with a map but are not possible right now?
How did you get interested in designing maps?
Do you ever find your maps too difficult to play yourself?
Qwert is teaching an advanced SoC class, an introduction to his maps (which has yet to be conducted, but will once we have some team grads). Would you ever consider teaching the same kind of class through the SoC?

Re: Conquer Club Dispatch Interrogation- cairnswk
What new map making tools would you like to have at your disposal?
If you could drag one user into the foundry and make him comment on the maps, who would it be?
Are you pissed at all about not being able to get more than 30 map making medals?
What do you want from Santa this year?
Apart from the map foundry, do you ever browse the forums?

How many ideas do you try out (offline) before you find something you want to work and spend time developing more thoroughly?

I'm a big fan of cairns, I'm looking forward to hearing the responses. 
Cairnswk, a number of your maps are recreations of historical battles. What is your single favourite historical period and why?

Re: Conquer Club Dispatch Interrogation- cairnswk
Is there any map that you've done that you wish you never made?
Describe yourself with three words.
What is your greatest strength?
What is your greatest weakness?
Do you look down on mere mortals like everyone else except you and me?

Are there any maps you'd like to make but can't because of copyright issues?

How did you first discover Conquer Club?

Out of all of your maps, which one would you say is the most "you?" That is, which one do you feel the closest to in terms of style, gameplay, etc -- or which one do you feel the most connected to and why?

What is your process for choosing which maps to make?
Re: Conquer Club Dispatch Interrogation- cairnswk
Which is your favorite map?
Which map took the longest to complete?
Which map took the shortest to complete?
If you were to attribute your map making skill to one personality trait, which would it be?

Re: Conquer Club Dispatch Interrogation- cairnswk
Why do you use so many different programmes when making maps?
Why so many breaks for your maps? You have so many going through at one time, then for some reason, they all go into the bin for a month or two. Only for you to bring them out and finish them.
Why do you make so many maps at one time? Do you not feel this effects quality?
Are their any maps that you wish you could make but current restrictions stop you (xml or size)?
