You know you've made a bad scenario when it's merely a random map with an insane advantage given to player one.

It's a bad scenario when your protagonist (hero of the story) is a male villager, he transforms into another unit, then changes back into a villager but becomes a female because you can't control the gender of a transformed villager.
A bad scenario is when an objective is to find a relic, but the designer forgot to place any relics on the map!

you know what? you are a bad designer if you forgot to put another trigger that disables the cinematic mode ON
You know, you have made a bad scenario when you dont include triggers, or instructions on it.
--> your male villager became a Reginleif. --> your male villager became a female Citizen (annoying!). --> If it's about LotR! --> If it doesn't have any cinematic. --> If you dont use cinematic block because you think thay're too colorful. --> You use Revealer to build a nice building. --> when you think that "camera" is invisible! --> When the rain effect doesn't cover the whole screen during a cinematic...

-if the entire terrain is grass and only the lower left-hand corner has any elevation. -if 45 seconds into it, the scenario ends and the Campaign menu appears.
Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning?

- if you can't be bothered to spell out the word "you" - if you think fighting 100 enemies is the same as having a story - if your scenario continues the one that came with the game - if you think it's even remotely possible to put all the dialog from LoTR into a scenario.
~ If you have a piece of Underworld in the middle of an ocean map. ~ If it's a 100x100 map with no units.

That hurts, dark_master!

-When the title is Cat's 'n' Mice on AOM vannila. -When they have huge amounts of spiked elevation. -When it's an rpg/adventure on vannila (seriously, there is no good adventure online.) -When they start by giving everyone 9999999 of every resource and make a generic "build hundreds of units and stuff" scenario with no form of terrain placement or eyecandy. -When player 1 starts out with about 90 SoO's and 6 guardians. -When it's just a blank map with a bunch of units thrown on it expected to kill 1 Osiris. (True Story, although I won ) -When it's a world map on Vannilla AOM. No joke, they are all HORRIBLE! Imagine badly shaped and over sized land with random junk thrown on it with elks everywhere with Anartica filled with hundreds of resources and random lava islands dot the world with gold mines.
Play AOM Vanilla, and you will see this and much worse.

when you release it, but forgot to playtest and later find out that the player starts as gaia (as in nature, not atlanteans)
