Theme: Anything and Everything
Anything and Everything means that you can make any unit that you want. This means that there are no restrictions and you can let your imagination run wild. You could create a Mounted Stormtrooper, an Egyptian Pharaoh, a prehistoric caveman or your favourite super hero.

Submission Deadline: 3rd October, 23:59 Forum Time

Examples:


Both Examples Supplied by Argalius


Rules:
    • You can only enter units.

    • The Unit cannot be taken from another mod Unless it is your own work.

    • As said in the rule above, Contestants may enter units from their own Mod but only if it is their Mod.

    • Contestants can enter several units.

    • Contestants can group together to form teams. Each team can enter several units.

    • Remember to submit your unit(s) BEFORE the submission date. Units can be entered any time from 09/03/07 until the submission date.

    • Failure to follow the above rules may lead to disqualification.


Judging System:

The judging system will not be like past contests where the unit and all of its files where sent to the judges.

Instead it will be simpler. A screen shot of your unit at different angles will be sufficient to judge upon.

screenshots (or a link to one) should be posted in this Topic.

Units will be judged on the following criteria:

Unit detail 0-50 -Level of detail a unit displays. i.e. Does the belt have a buckle? Is there a belt? Can you tell what the unit is?

Design 0-50 -How well did the unit come together? Basic aesthetics: is it pleasing to the eye? Were the right things, like weapons and attachments, chosen, colored, or textured correctly? Does the archer's dark orange jetpack look good?

Creativity/Originality: 0 - 50 How creative you where in making your unit and how original it is.

Overall Score: 0 - 150 This is the overall score taken from the other two criteria. It is this score that will be compared with other contestants units.

Units that are Not eaisly visible in the screen shots may not be judged.

Judges:

Looks good, sorry for taking so long. One thing, though: you may want to change your last rule to "failure to follow the above rules may lead to disqualification," unless you mean that the rules don't matter. Good luck with the competition.

Hmm... I'll post a few units. You don't need to judge them:
Arquebusier:
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/Marvin_The_Conquistador/screen69.jpg
He's upgradeable to Guard, and imperial and he gets new texture, model and hat when upgraded to Guard.
Retextured Crossbowman. I'll make him better at Friday:

Old and a long time ago deleted units, from the time when I was a really noob in modding:

And at last a drawn musketeer :-P

Nice unit, Marvin.

For the contest, how about having several standard picture settings. Here's an example:

-against a black background in editor using editor screenshot
-against a white background in editor using editor screenshot
-back view against a monochromatic background in editor using editor screenshot
-side view against a monochromatic background in editor using editor screenshot
-in the modder's choice of background

So, that's five pictures that should show the modder's work in it's entirety.

hmmm...
@NM... I would put the Arquebusier down for marking but i Can't see it all too well. If you could make a screen-shot at a closer veiw it would be perfect. also I am assuming that you dont want the croissbow marked because you said that you will make him better. I cant mark the assorted units from when you where "noob" at modding because It is not a specific unit. and ofcorse i cannot mark a Drawing but it is good to see some participation

If you took The Arquebusier did a close-up like the cross-bow it would be perfect

Good Job so far NM

Sorry, but what does 'monochromatic' mean?

That gun is the Abus Gun's gun.

Here is my Conquistador:
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/Marvin_The_Conquistador/screen77.jpg
It is an extremely good cavalry unit. When I'm finsished he'll use a gun for long-range, and sword for short range.

EDIT NEXT DAY: I'll post some pictures of the Arquebusier later today.

@Fordmaniac Your machine Gunner is very good. I like the way he has "deployed" and "undeployed" modes. Good effort. I will combine the two screens together for judging. Great job!

@Northern Marvin Your Conquistador is impressive. I like that you have given him a sheild. The Detail of the texture is Great! Nice unit overall!
P.s Are you submiting the Conquistador as it is or will you submit the final version with the gun?

Thanks for good response the anim i used for the deploy mode is in the art1.bar and is called something like sharpshooter_idle

I have added the current entries to the main topic.

Good job everyone keep the great units comming!
posted 09-06-07 09:32 AM EDT (US)     20 / 131  
Hmm... It might take some days before the unit is totally finished, and able to switch between gun and sword, so I'll not post the finished one with the gun.
