Welcome, one and all, to the Incredible Microscopic Map Contest! This is just a small, relatively casual way of celebrating AoEH's 11th Anniversary. The idea is to make a scenario (or campaign, if you're up to it) on a Microscopic map size. But enough talking! LET'S GET TO THE RULES!
-Your map or series of maps MUST be Microscopic size. If you don't have a Microscopic map template, you can find it here:
http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=2097(thanks MrCheeze!)
-Your map will be judged on the standard scenario review guidelines.
-You ARE allowed to make multiplayer maps, but there can only be up to 4 human players.
-The map with the highest score will recieve a prize so amazing and unique that I haven't even thought of it yet!
-You ARE allowed to make either one scenario or a series of scenarios linked together by a main theme(a campaign). You will not be given bonus points for having a multi-part scenario, as a campaign isn't counted as multiple scenarios, but as one product. Entries will always be judged by quality, not quanity.
-You only get one (1) entry.
-The deadline for submitting your scenarios is August 11. The judges will have finished playing them by August 18.
-When you are finished, mail your entry to our mod The Dark Archer. His e-mail is in his profile. IMPORTANT: Please wait until the results thread is created to submit your file to the Granary. Then, go ahead.
-Be creative, and try to make your map fun and challenging as well. Try to use an idea that hasn't been seen before.
The judges are:
-Fruktfisk
-BBalazs
-Nacht Jager
Judges, you can rate the maps whenever you get them. Please be fair in judging and spend some time playing the maps. Don't just play for five minutes and slap down a 5 because it was playable. Once you recieve the scenarios from TDA, rate em and send the ratings back to TDA. He'll put them in a results thread bu the judging deadline.
So, this contest is now OPEN! Start designing, and have fun!
