Well I think we all agree that the modding competition didn't work out quite as planned. But now we're going to do something else, better, more interesting but above all more fun for everybody!

The 31st of October it'll be Halloween, although it's an anniversary celebrated in the United States I'm sure everybody knows what it is. It's the pumpkin, witches etc. stuff.

Anyway, you'll have to create a halloween unit/building/etc. for AoE3. You can create as many of them as you want as long as they'll be finished by 31st of October. Then you should post your unit here in this thread and I'll put all the images under the right name so everybody can vote. The winner will be crowned: Halloween Pumpkin of the year 2006! (or whatever title you want ) Maybe I'll be able to put all the units into a Halloween Madness modpack, but I'm not sure about that yet.

Summary:


    • Create a unit/building/etc. for AoE3 with the theme Halloween.
    • Your masterpiece should be finished by 31st October.
    • Everybody can vote (also non-modders), the creator of the unit with the most votes will be crowned Halloween Pumpkin of the year 2006! (NO material prizes are involved)
    • I might combine everything into one Halloween Madness modpack.

I got the perfect idea for this!

I doubt I'll enter this one. There's nothing wrong with the contest, as I think there should be ones like this, but Halloween happens to be one of my LEAST favorite holidays (except the candy, but you can't exactly make a unit out of that......unless...nah, no you can't ).

I'm just more motivated in making units when I LIKE the unit I'm trying to create...I LIKED the units in the modding competition, but Halloween...ehhh...doesn't motivate me, and no units I would enjoy making come to mind when I think of it.

Even so, that's just my problem; most people would love the Halloween theme. So, enjoy, work hard, and I guess I'll sit this one out unless I think of a great idea. I just wish the modding competition would have worked like this...

lol, President Bush. I agree with you there. He is probably the scariest thing you see on Halloween.

originality all over the place, can't wait to see the stuff everybody comes up with.

EDIT: Oh btw, there are NO prizes, I didn't put that up although you might have read it between the lines.

I entered the original modding competition mainly for the glory, and to interact with the community...winning the War Chiefs was a nice touch, though.

I think I'd rather work on my tutorial this time, though. Before anyone starts, please don't rush me on this or ask when it's coming out...I've got a lot to do, and if I want this thing to come out the way I envisioned it, it's going to take some time.

(I will vote though )

Heh, he just took the skins of the dead "casualty" musketeer and put it onto an actual musketeer. I would know because I was just planning on doing this as a joke , since the texture fits perfectly. Although, it does look like he edited it a bit.

irish_legend8, really cool idea (I noticed it, too) but you should use the age1 model, since the corpse also uses the age1 model (which fits better).

What about also adding the "dead" villager?

I planned to make a unit today, only to find out that I have a birthday I really have to attend to. Hopefully I'll get one done anyway.

That's looking really cool! If you still want to make a unit themed Halloween, go ahead. We'll just push the submission date back.
