May 2017 Custom Unit Competition (Revised Format)
Welcome everyone to the May 2017 Custom Unit Competition!!
__________________________________________________________ This month Dr.Goomonkey and I are happy to present a brand new format with updated guidelines and a simplified rule set. Our hope is that these changes will encourage more people to participate. Additionally we have updated the name to 'competition' rather than 'contest' to reflect the friendly nature and non-prize oriented version that this format will reflect. We hope this new format goes over well and we look forward to this month's entries. If you have any questions please post them in this thread! ___________________________________________________________ Heroscapers Custom Unit Competition General Regulations Rules 1.

Re: May 2017 Custom Unit Competition (Revised Format)
Hmmm... interesting. I'll probably throw something in. I would like to ask, though - the idea of giving people a specific theme to work with won't be a consistent, permanent thing with these, right? Because I really loved the old format of 'here's the figure - do whatever the hell you want with it' - it allowed for some real creativity at times, and I'd hate to lose that for the sake of giving people a specific brief of what to do each time.

Also, for this contest, you say suggested figures - does that mean I could pick a different one, or (theoretically) design a Greater Elemental that wasn't Earth, Fire, Water or Air? Also, what sizes are the figures we're looking at? They look a little small for 'Greater' Elementals. |

For example, if you made a Greater Flame Elemental I really like than I can incorporate that into an Elemental army when i'm playing at home. To get that result though some structure will have to be injected into the guidelines. Otherwise we would not reach a point where there are all these great entries that support the current Heroscape system. Sometimes this structure will take the form of a specific theme. But not always. That's the great part about exploring and trying new things out! I hope that helps and please let me know if something is still not jiving on your end. Quote:

*sees title* "What's this? A May competition? Something fishy is going on here..." *reads op, squeals like a bird.*
Are the customs creator's identities still going to be kept anonymous during the first 2 phases (submission and voting) of the competition? ------------------------- Join our HeroScape discord! https://discord.gg/DXRaqvn Talk about everything heroscape, or just hang out! |

Re: May 2017 Custom Unit Competition (Revised Format)
I may be in the minority, but as I mentioned before (and got some not so agreeable feedback) I think it is more beneficial to have custom contests that actually match the needs and wants of the community at large, and therefore greatly appreciate this custom contest as it is meeting a desire to have large elementals. Again, I think the more time the contest voting time is open the better, as there is more time to actually playtest, but this is a step in the right direction. Again, not that I am against the more "fun" and "open" contests as a just that - a fun contest for those who create customs and who vote, but the newer format has more long-term value. At least, in my humble opinion.

Re: May 2017 Custom Unit Competition (Revised Format)
I think that the format will be shifting around from now on, depending on what figure(s) we scrounge up. As my colleague has stated, we want the competitions to promote creativity, and the way I see it having varying levels of structure should be a good way to accomplish that, while also making allowing for more, well, variety (and potentially more playable entries)
It would be good to have the actual size of the minis, but I don't think either of us own any of them, so... Anyways, great kickoff for the new format! Repaints My Maps Online Maps Customs CoN is FuN

Re: May 2017 Custom Unit Competition (Revised Format)
Looks fun guys, I'll see if I have some time to throw something together. I definitely have some homeless figures of these types needing a card anyways.
