Re: NEW THEME - Contest Thread
Hm. I think you'll need to specify the rules of 3-player you intend us to build for. Probably kill-the-player-on-your-left?

Re: NEW THEME - Contest Thread
Do the rules need to be specified? There are a lot of ways to play 3-player games, and I feel that they're more dependent on the format you want to play than the map you want to use, since the maps are versatile in that regard. But it is something we're talking about internally, and if there's any input from the public on whether or not that's needed we'll welcome it.

Re: NEW THEME - Contest Thread
Well met! If Flash_19 is allowed to submit one of his existing 3-player maps, it's all over. If he submits a new one, I wouldn't bet against him either. |

Re: NEW THEME - Contest Thread
Lol. I'm flattered, but no - definitely not all over. I've seen some impressive three player maps in the community! Not to mention - I wasn't planning on submitting one of my maps anyway. I'm really excited to see what people come up with!

Re: NEW CONTEST - Triple Play Frenzy
Current Contest We have listened and we are back with an intriguing proposition to all of the cartographers of Valhalla. Show us your best 3-way play. That's right. We are running a contest for 3 player maps. We’re calling on all map builders to come up with worthy maps to submit for review, scoring, and potential entry into the Triple-Play Frenzy contest. The top 10 Triple-play maps will be chosen by the ARV judges and then a public vote will take place. The map with the greatest number of votes will receive fame, glory, and an awesome prize … A custom dice bowl designed by TREX! Why are we doing this? We want to create a repository for great 3-player maps. A quick place to go where heroscapers throughout the realm can find a quality map to conduct a fair truel. Submissions accepted starting... March 3, 2019 Submissions will be due... March 31, 2019 Guidelines General guidelines for all contests are specifically outlined in OP of the Welcome thread, with the following exceptions for this contest: 1. Submissions Open for 4 weeks, allowing for 2 submissions from each cartographer. Submissions do NOT need to be new creations. Find your best 3-player map that fits the terrain requirements, fine tune it, play test it, tweak it, and then submit it.2. Terrain Master Sets. One of the following may be used as a master set:3. Start Zones Start zones can range from 18 to 24 hexes.Scoring ALL maps submitted will be reviewed and scored according to the following Rubric: Aesthetics/Creativity (originality of build/looks good/playability): 10 pts Balanced (doesn't favor one build over another and allows each army equal access to victory): 20 pts Use of Terrain: 10 pts Name and theme: 10 pts Total: 50 pts *Judges scoring the maps: @Flash_19 @Sir Heroscape @Nomad @BiggaBullfrog @TREX (emeritus) *Each map will have a rubric filled out, one from each judge. 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 the poll and the prize will be awarded. *Maps can have a backstory included with your submission. Helping us to envision being there, and the story behind it, can tip things in favor when we complete our initial scoring. It can be as simple as a couple sentences or much longer. Inclusion into ARV: *Because 3-player maps are not typically used in tournaments, maps won't be given the distinction of "tournament worthy". Also, the evaluation process for determining the balance of maps that are submitted will be slightly different due to the uniqueness of 3-player maps. However, we are hoping to create a repository of quality 3-player maps that will still carry our recommendation for being balanced and well-designed. Quality 3-player maps that will be added to the ARV repository will require a MAJORITY approval vote from the active ARV judges. *Many 3-player maps have varying start zones and have special scenarios attached. All start-zones must be 18-24 hexes for this contest. If you want to add a scenario in the description, that is fine. But, scenarios will not be considered in determining the quality of the 3-player map. *Maps will be added to the 3-player ARV repository by a simple majority vote of the judges. Again, we are not evaluating maps on being tournament worthy. Rather, we are asking the question: Is this a good, fair, and worthwhile 3-player map? Sir Heroscape's Content

Re: NEW CONTEST - Triple Play Frenzy
Kudos to you guys for using this project to flesh out an important, and underdeveloped, space for mapbuilders to work in.
I'm looking forward to seeing the nominees! |

Re: NEW CONTEST - Triple Play Frenzy
Hmm. I will have to see if something strikes me. This is a tough space, obviously.
