Map Creation Contest
Your map must represent an existing desert. So the map's name should be that of that desert or something that is related to only that specific desert/smaller region.
It will be evaluated both on the playability and how well it represents that desert. It must be playable in 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3.
The submission deadline is April 07, 22 GMT.
A list of deserts for inspiration is attached:
We will choose deserts from different regions, so there is a limit of maps per continent.
Ideally the map contest would add, but not exclusively:
Your submission does not have to be completely new, but if it is not, please write when you have created it and where it has been used before (in which tournaments). Maps that have not been played in many big tournaments will be favoured.
Feel free to take inspiration from already existing maps, but you must add from which maps you took inspiration, so we can evaluate your own contribution.
These deserts already have maps that are good enough and don’t need a new creation – however it does not mean that they will be included 100 %, because the use of already existing maps and requested maps (will also ask some map creators) will depend on the amount of good contest submissions:
1. Antarctica (by Zetnus)
2. Sahara (By TheMadCADer, used since Clan Masters)
3. Gobi (by TheMadCADer, modified by Huehuecoyotl22)
4. Syrian Desert (Syrian Steppe by TheMadCADer)
5. Taklamakan (by TheMadCADer)
6. Atacama (by Mr ED, modified by Huehuecoyotl22)
7. Grand Bara (by Chrazini)
Already new for this tournament:
8. Karoo
9. Jalapão
10. Mount Bromo
11. Simpson Desert
12. Umm al Samim
Top 2 submissions will receive $100 in prize money, #3/4 $50, but more than 4 maps might be included in the tournament map pack, as the map pack is aimed to feature up to 15 maps in total.
Lord Patito, Biz, Ornlu, sieste, Chrazini, AlgernonR and I will be the committee to evaluate the maps.
Please post your map script file here together with a short description.
If you have any problem with uploading your files on AoEZone, you can also send them to me on Discord.
For discussions and questions, you can also join the tournament Discord server: https://discord.gg/9nwJUxYtdh.

We will choose deserts from different regions, so there is a limit of maps per continent.
Ideally the map contest would add, but not exclusively:
- 1 South European desert
- 1 cold desert (not Asian, since Gobi already is included)
- 2 African deserts, from not too close location, e. g. not both NW
- 1 West Asian desert
- 1 South Asian desert (e. g. from the Indian subcontinent)
