Boy that could be a loaded question!

I think that experience may have more impact than age. I think that creativity and attention to detail have greater influence in mapping, and everything else in life for that mater. If you have these qualities, yes they get better with experience and therefore age. Some people are naturals, others aren?t.

I can sit down and read countless technical manuals and love it, but I can?t get through a single novel. Yes, I?m an engineer.

What I mean is that a young person, probably about 12 years old, maybe and experienced mapper. While that may not be true. While a man about 40 years old may not have experience as a mapper, let alone know what mapping is. But an older person who started mapping early, as early as MoHRadiant was released, has lots of experience.

So age and experience both matter in different circumstances.

before i got mohr, the only maps id made were for rogue spear, delta force and operation flashpoint. for them you just chose a unit and put it where you want it, you didnt make the actual map. i had no experience at all. im only 15 aswell, and [as other people say] some of my maps are good.
