 IMO, using the 'it would require redoing maps' is not a good long term approach
to making crossfire a better game.  Such logic leads into the case where no
large project is ever undertaken because of the work involved, so instead you
get small fixes which just makes the game appear more cobbled together.

 To update the maps is a minor amount of work in any case.  Ok, there maybe a
dozen magic shops out there, but updating those shops is certainly easier to
making a dozen temple maps to the magic god.

 I would guess it would probalby only take 5 or 10 minutes to update each map -
remove some of the floor tiles, bumpe the wall out some, and do a little cleanup
and you are done.
