Conquer Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 1. Nickname / Location / Personal info Hi! My name is Dani, I’m 29 years old (almost 30!), and I’m from Arad, Romania, a city near the border with Hungary. I’m a pretty calm person, maybe a bit introverted at first, but once I feel comfortable, I open up and become someone with a good sense of humor and a lot of passion for the things that define me. I grew up with video games, and they’re still a big part of my daily life. I enjoy playing anything with a great story or captivating gameplay – whether it’s a classic singleplayer title or an intense online multiplayer game. Some of the games that marked my childhood and teenage years were GTA San Andreas, SA:MP, and later MTA, where I started my journey as a mapper – a passion I’ve continued to this day, with over 100 maps created. Besides gaming, I’ve had a deep love for anime since I was a kid – I see it as a true art form. I’m fascinated by both the animation and the deep, unique stories they tell. Whether it’s action, drama, or psychological thrillers, anime has always been a constant source of inspiration for me. I’m also passionate about web design – I enjoy creating visual content, working with layouts, colors, and typography, and especially seeing ideas come to life in a browser. I wouldn’t call myself a professional, but I’m always learning and experimenting with new things. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and series – from sci-fi and psychological thrillers to drama and comedy. I love stories that make you think and characters that feel real and complex. In short, I’m a creative and passionate person, maybe a little nostalgic, but always open to new experiences in community, gaming, and digital art. Whether it’s building a map in MTA, designing a website, watching anime, or playing a competitive match – I always put my heart into what I do. 2.

Your MTA career How It All Started – My Journey in MTA To start from the very beginning, it all began in the summer of 2007, around June. Back then, I was really passionate about GTA San Andreas – I used to play both the singleplayer mode to complete the story and also online on SA:MP, especially on RolePlay servers. One day, I was on a Romanian SA:MP server doing some stunt runs, when an idea suddenly hit me: "How could I create stunt maps like this for the server?" More specifically, I wanted to make a stunt map for vehicles like NRG, Infernus, and others. So, I jumped on YouTube and started searching: "how to make maps for SA:MP". Among the results, I stumbled upon a video about MTA (Multi Theft Auto). I clicked on it out of curiosity... and I was blown away: “Wow, this game looks even better than SA:MP!” I downloaded it right away, installed it, and started exploring. I browsed through the online servers and initially joined another roleplay server, where I played for about three days. But I was still really curious about how to make maps in MTA. So I went back to YouTube and started watching all kinds of tutorials. That’s when I discovered something I had no clue about: a mode called DM (DeathMatch). I didn’t know what it was at the time, but I found a video where someone was using the MTA Map Editor to create these amazing maps. So I typed "DM" into the search bar and found a server called ICP – Ice Cold Players. I joined the server and started playing. I already knew the basics – like how to flip the car using arrow keys – and the first maps I played were created by Skotinka. I quickly got used to the style and loved it so much that I ended up playing for 14 hours straight that very first day. At that time, I wasn’t using the nickname Conquer yet. My first in-game name was Ky[T]-[R]eX. After a week, I had already become an active player on the server. That’s when mappers like Blue and Fire, both members of the ICP clan, started teaching me how to play DM maps and how to create them. By the second week, I decided I wanted to make my own maps. I went back to YouTube, looked up more detailed tutorials, and discovered tools like AMT, Puma Markers, and many others that were popular at the time. I opened the Map Editor and started experimenting. After many tries, I finally managed to release my first map: 🎉 [DM] Conquer v1 – Elyos Mage I was beyond excited that I pulled it off. After that, I discovered the FFS server and played there for quite a long time. As time went by, I kept learning and began releasing more and more maps. My first "ft." (featuring) was with Flunkey, titled: 📀 [DM] Conquer ft. Flunkey – Speed Art Then came my second ft., with DLF: 📀 [DM] Conquer ft. DLF – Critical Darth Eventually, I started working on what became my most well-known map: v5. Originally, it was supposed to be a ft. with Qlimax, but after only building the spawn area, I decided to continue on my own. I wanted it to be a 100% personal project. 🎬 In the end, I finished v5 and released it publicly on YouTube and on servers. It was one of the most important and meaningful moments for me as a mapper. Eventually, the years went by and I ended up releasing a total of 12 volumes publicly, with 116 maps completed as of now. I’ve been working on this project for almost 7 years. At first, I wanted to split them into different series, but in the end, I decided they would all just be volumes under my own name. Some of them are good, some are bad – many were made simply out of boredom. To be honest, I never really put a ton of effort into any single map – I never aimed for perfect tracks or detailed decoration. I just made them the way I felt like, not really caring if people hated them or not. What mattered most to me was that I had fun making them – and I think they’re fun to play too, even if they're messy. To wrap things up (because the full story would take forever), let’s just say that I still love this game, ever since I discovered it back in 2007. Oh – and before I forget – I originally wanted a new in-game name. I was searching for ideas and randomly came across a game called Conquer. I liked the name at the time, so I picked it… and it stuck. Funny thing is – I actually regret choosing it now. I don’t really like it anymore. But you know what? That name holds a lot of memories for me. So I’ll keep it. 4. Why do you think that Elite Players is the best place for you? I believe Elite Players is the best place for me because it feels like a true community – not just a team. Over the years, I’ve played on many servers and met a lot of players, but very few places manage to balance skill, passion, and respect the way Elite Players does. What really stands out to me is the dedication of the players here – people who genuinely enjoy the game, support each other, and push themselves to grow. That kind of environment motivates me. I’ve been part of the MTA scene for many years now, and I still have the same passion I had in 2007. Joining Elite Players would give me a chance to contribute to something meaningful, while also evolving alongside others who share that same fire for the game. Plus, I’m not here to prove I’m the best. I’m here because I enjoy the process, the fun, and the memories we create along the way. And from what I’ve seen, Elite Players is exactly the kind of place where those things happen. 5. Contact Discord : ijinnuf 6.
