Deadline has been extended by one month

You should provide directions in the form of a road, flags or other objects the unit should follow. Be sure to give clear instructions which path(s) to follow.

Would "go anywhere you want" be valid instructions then?

My city will occupy the entire map so wandering off in the wrong direction wouldn't really be a problem.



Sorry for questioning every rule lol :P But at least I decided not to use an edited language dll anymore.

I just sent you a .cpx file, should I resend the Scenario?

Got it, campaign is fine too.

Would "go anywhere you want" be valid instructions then?

Sure. Remember that we will judge based on what is seen, so make sure nothing is blocking the roads/spaces in your town.

Good news: I'm about 50% done.

Here's a little preview:

That's your half done town on a large map? Now I feel like mine is kind of small.

Those minimaps look very interesting.

Lots and lots of details. BTW, is interesting but Crossbowman's map river reminds me of the Tiberis where it crosses Rome. (wto be honest, even the shape of the city reminds me of Imperial Rome)

I would indeed not be surprised if it was rome. The map looks a bit like a 90 degrees rotated version of one of my scenario's about rome. Mine was based on a map of ancient rome I found somewhere, so my guess is he's trying to make rome.

Fruktdubstepfisk appears to be making some kind of desert oase/lake town.

Or maybe a spaceship?

Edit: I didn't know you had a realistic Rome map, Thompson. Honest! It was an idea I came up with on my own.

Mine is based on this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/Roma_Plan.jpg

I hope you guys will enjoy my Diocletian's arch.

Doesn't matter. I didn't claim the idea or anything. It's part of my roma campaign, I think in the battle between marius and sulla.

I think I used the same picture as reference.

Btw, at the end of this contest can the new staff make new granary categories? If so, the obscure civ contest still hasn't got one, I even doubt poor Gumble got his new title.

Well Rome is a recurrent theme when referring to ancient cities, even though in most aspects some engineers consider it the first modern city and it did have features to defend that title.

I've visited Rome in the past, amazing city. Looking forward to seeing your entry as well Crossbowman.

I hope to visit rome in the coming summer. I always wanted to see it, but alas my parents usually took me to france (which is also nice, but still).

Ohhh just realised deadline was extended, so I can still finish mine if I have the time...

Hades back in business? Please give it a try

Yeah been away from here a while ;P

Best get this done, I was half finished but got alot of college stuff to do, if I dont finish I shall upload so you can see what I had anyway.

My map is almost finished.

I am quite impatient to see it

I shall get work on wednesday :P

I shall get you a screenie of the minimap ;D

Phatfish I just sent you my entry. Could you please confirm if you received it and if it runs (it was crashing with Enhanced editor, but not on normal mode; it's better to make sure though).

Got it, and it's working fine, no crashes.

So far I have received 3 entries: Dubstepfisk's, Dom0601's and Crossbowman's. I took a peek at them already, very impressive stuff

Btw, since we received another month I'm doing a small update of mine, mostly to fix up some stuff, but also adding a smaller area.

If mine's small (On a Tiny Map), it's because I didn't realize what was expected. I thought originally to not join, and then made my a small city (That uses almost every sqaure inch of space for eye candy-ish stuff). Sorry, if I suprise anyone.

It's not size that matters. If you make a great looking small town it's better than a bland megalopolis.

Sent mine! Good luck everyone!
