AoE3H has finally planned a modding contest, the first in the history of AoE3! This is just a head up for things to come. The contest will start this wednesday Contestants should create a brand new unit (no buildings) according to the theme featured in the current round. Everything is allowed as long as you stick to the theme or the unit hasn't been released earlier in another modpack. The use of stolen content (models/textures etc. from another mod and/or game) is prohibited. When the round ends after one week you'll have to submit a screenshot, the code and the graphics to our judges (Kastor, Elpea and yours truly). While we are judging the submitted mods the next round starts with a new theme. The judges will rate every mod (only one submission per modder is allowed) on a scale from 1.0 to 10.0 where 10.0 is the best. They'll also try to give constructive comments so your skills will improve through this competition. To win the contest you should have atleast submitted 2 out of 4 mods (so you should atleast have finished 2 units from different themes). The 2 best rated units per modder will count toward the prizes (so you'll have a better chance of winning with 4 mods than with 2). The modder with the highest average will win the competition! When we end up with a tie the judges rejudge the units made by the modders and choose a winner accordingly. The winner will receive AoE3's expansion pack: For the mod-beginners among us, read [This message has been edited by Argalius (edited 09-02-2006 @ 10:04 AM).]
