Like the last two Modding Contests, by gibbo1993, there is no theme. You can make everything you want. But in this Contest you must make two or more variations on the same unit. This could mean another gun, or shield, or a melee version and a ranged version.

Your imagination is the limit in this Contest, and you can submit any unit you want. It is also allowed to submit multiple units. Units don't have to be new, also older units from your own mod can be submitted.





Both examples are created by Captain_Soanso



The units will be judged on the following criteria:

- Unit Detail: 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: 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: How creative you were in making your unit and how original it is.

- Variations: How do the variations look? Is the unit still recognizable? Would the units fit in an army together?

These criteria together are your Overall Score, the score that will be compared to other contestants.



To judge units, judges are needed (of course). The current judges are:

- peugeot407
- gibbo1993
- General_II
- alvaro_qc

For obvious reasons you can't be contestant and judge in the same contest. Judges should have modding experience.



The Rules:

- You can only enter units. Buildings or Props may be in the picture, but won't count toward your score.
- You can only enter units with two or more variations
- You can only enter your own units. You can't take units from an existing mod, unless the unit is your own work (and you can prove it is).
- You can enter multiple units.
- Forming teams of contestants is allowed.
- Units will only count if they're submitted before the deadline, which is Thursday 17 July 2008, 23:59.59 GMT.

Failure to the above rules will lead to disqualification.

Units will only be judged if submitted in the following way:

- Against black or white background in AoE3 Scenario Editor.
- With affordable size, max. 307.200 pixels (that's 640x480).
- Zoomed in, and on lowered view (5-25 degrees).
- Clearly visible.
- Not edited (except cropping and adding your name) in any program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or GIMP
