Prizes :$300, $200 and $100 for the three best works submitted.
Your work will be added to the SY_Map_Pack and may be designated for the grand final! 8-)
The organizers welcome more diverse maps and suggest you steer away from the mainstream.
The theme of this contest is "strategy variation", which means that we encourage maps that are not clearly one strat maps and could potentially throw up surprises. In a nutshell, we are looking for maps that give the weaker team more chances to surprise the stronger team.
The winning maps and also a selection of others will become part of the SY_Map Pack.
Once again you are allowed to enter as many maps as you want, but only one of your maps will be able to take part in the prizing of the tournament, meaning you can't come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, even if your maps were the three best ones.
To enter:- create your map, upload it anywhere, and make a reply in this topic with a download link and pictures, preferably using CTRL & F12 in 1:4 format.
Keep in mind that it has to be a Random Map script with a .rms file extension.
Only Maps received by 17th of May will be considered.
The winners will be announced shortly after.
Let's see some imagination, both in the map and also the names! :D
Best of luck to you all.
UPDATED Results: Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to all entrants.
1st Place $300 : Houseboat Created by Yo_Dan
Description: A map made to make players hate me ops: , but really, this map is obnoxious. The tc starts on a tiny island too small to fit a farm (it can fit a few houses though), and you must continually transport your vils to the shore to gather resources.
Also, the first time you play you will hate me because you must research loom first (start with 5 pop), so then Aztec start bonus slightly nerfed :ugeek: . Some ask whether it would just be worth it to delete your tc early on...and yes, it is worth it
Three different terrains, but all the same resources, etc
2nd Place $200: Ripples Created by Carlos Ferdinand
Description: This map looks like a ripple with 5 layers/rings when you look from the top.
Special features: 10 sheep per player, 7 forage bushes. Lots of gold and stone in middle of the map. Other golds exist as single-gold mines. A three-stone mine per player. Very limited amount of gold near each player. 10 relics on the map. No wolves.
