The Clan Masters: The Final Showdown is due to start 13th June. The sponsors would once again like to involve the community and have created a contest for the map makers among us. So get those thinking hats on
The organizers would love to see new maps to play, they welcome both more standard maps and more diverse maps and suggest you steer away from the mainstream.
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.
The winning maps and also a selection of others will become part of the CM_Map_Pack.
Prizes:
For the three best works submitted.
1st: - $ 150
2nd: - $ 100
3rd: - $ 50
How to enter:
Create your map, upload it anywhere, and reply to 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 30th 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 $150: Tombolo (Nomad version) Created by prv_limb
2nd Place $100: The_Hunger_Games Created by SMB360
Description: Map styled on the arena from the 'The Hunger Games' film. Nomad start (including Nomad resources) + players have 1 Horse as a scout. All players (both teams) start in the middle (rules of the tournament prevent early vil war) and must move to the outside to find a spot to place their TC. Their start position is marked by a flag, representing the starting columns of Tributes who enter the arena in The Hunger Games. Resources, including relics (variable number according to map size), are distributed fairly around the outside, encouraging exploration but reducing luck factor. Players can also return to the middle (intended to represent the 'Cornucopia' from The Hunger Games) to find more food and three relics, as well as take shore fish.
3rd Place $50: AP_Melting Ice Created by HJFE
We would like to thank everyone for their effort and creativity.
The 3 winners should now contact us here on AoCZone (send a private message to this account) and provide their PayPal account details in order to receive the Prize.
I would like to add that since I entered a map myself I was not part of any decision making. The only thing I did was collect the maps and put them all in one pack, so the decision makers were not able to identify which map belonged to whom. They made the decision completely on their own.
I have also decided to donate my prize money ($ 150) to the tournament's prize pool for the places 9-12.
Good luck and get practicing on these new maps
