ARV Contest Thread
NEW CONTEST: All right everyone, COVID threw things into whack, but we're back!! This time, with a fun twist. We’re calling on all map builders to come up with competitive, tournament worthy maps and to submit them here for scoring. In the end, 10 maps will be chosen as the best and of the 10, #1 will be given a very high quality prize. And believe me, you don't wanna miss out on this! We've designed and prepared custom ARV DICE for the winner! Here are the 2 options the winner will be able to choose from. The set will be a full set of 12, 6-sided dice. Option #1: https://nqadaw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Option #2: https://naadaw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Why are we doing this? It's time to have another contest and keep the excitement going with new and fun maps. Specifically we want this contest to challenge map makers to be lean and deliberate with every terrain piece. Requiring one of your expansions to be a Marvel set can be quite difficult at times when trying to make a balanced map for tournament play, and we don't see the Marvel set used too often. Now, we will! Submissions Accepted Starting... October 4th, 2021 Submissions will be due... November 1st, 2021 @11:59pm MST Guidelines

All the scores will then be averaged for one final score for that map. *At the end of the deadline, the top 10 maps will be chosen and posted. A PUBLIC POLL will then be opened for the community to vote on the best map out of the top 10. The map winner will be posted after a week long poll and the prize awarded.

Double-spaced figures must be able to access all glyphs 3. Glyphs should not be able to be reached turn 1 by 5 or 6 move figures 4. avoid too much elevation close to the start zone (exceptions may be made depending on the build) Map Building Checklist: For Competitive Balance Take into consideration:

#3, is which power glyph we use or what it does up to us? Or is it even supposed to do anything other than indicate the wellspring(s)? Or is that up to us too? |
Re: Contest Thread: The Uncharted Wellsprings
@heroscaper2010
Whatever power glyph you use is up to you and it will be active, it is not just a placeholder. The idea is that the Wellsprings are giving you greater power against your enemies...just like in the lore. |
Re: Contest Thread: The Uncharted Wellsprings
I'll muse a bit about the theme and see if anything comes to mind.

Re: Contest Thread: The Uncharted Wellsprings
Hi all,
I think I want to throw my hat into this ring. This is my first contest. On the Welcome Thread for this I saw that we were allowed to upload the map to our threads as long as we state that it is for this contest. Being new to this contest I wanted to try and upload it to my own thread first to make sure I knew how. To preface this I am not asking anyone to review my map or anything, but I was wondering if someone could follow the map link in my signature and see if everything uploaded correctly. Again not asking for any opinions or anything on the map itself (although I would definitely be open for tips or critique if thats allowed) I just wanted to make sure I uploaded it correctly and in the right format. Thanks. |
