I'll be a judge if possible.

By the way, Da_Mexicanos, it's probably best not to enter and judge the same competition. Conflict of interests?

@Da_Mexicanos - Sorry you can't enter and be a judge for the reasons Julius said. It would be unfair basically.
@Thorax - Try www.mediafire.com.I used to have a great file host, but I have stupidly forgotten the address.

I don't intend to enter, so I was thinking about judging, but what do you need to do in order to judge? Might be a dumb question, sorry.

You (Dantares) also made a good impression with your campaigns. So many hours, wrestling with idea's. Playtested tons and tons of other work of other people.

~ There must be 2 difficulties, Normal and Hard.

Is 2 difficulties the maximum, or may one make more difficulty levels?

~ Scenarios must be finished and sent in by July 1st, you will need to upload the file onto a host, and send the link to me by email. (I will release my email shortly before the deadline)

Do we have to upload entries to an 'external' host, or will the Blacksmith do?

Balance - Are the battles well balanced, was it too easy or too hard?

If the scenario doesnt include any battles, what's your solution then? If, for example, a question is too hard or a special item his too hard or too easy to find that should count instead of fighting as for balance, or something similar.

Also, I think you should add Creativity as a cathegory

Thanks, Lord Basse, for reminding me. Yes I will add creativity to the list. Also I couldn't think of a good explanation of balance, but I'll try and fix that.

Sorry I didn't answer everyone's questions:

Hussarknight - You can only have 2 difficulties, sorry. I feel this is the best way to work. I also probably didn't explain the deadline clearly, but yes, you must upload to a external site.
Wireless Wanderer - You can use any type of difficulty.
You cannot use Genied, sorry.

Also thanks to King Phillip for a nice banner

I may come across badly here but what the heck:

This line doesn't make sense.

No modpacks are allowed, but you may use Renaissance.

Now under the definition a modpack is something that requires the player of the project to use an edited .dat file as well as the designer..

Maybe he means this. I dont think there's any other template for 25x25 units maps.

You may use unlocked units. I think it would be fun to use Renaissance. I think it is a designers essential in my opinion. I will change that rule slightly so it makes more sense.

Thanks for the link Lord Basse. I just began working on mine; my idea is all planned out and the mapping is finished - all that's left for me to do is 10 hours of triggering. I'm happy with my progress so far, and I might even be the first to submit their game! ^^
So powerful, the boost of coffee...

BTW, does anyone have any good places to download sound clips for free? I searched the forums, but what little help I got didn't work for me.

www.sounddogs.com

Very useful, but some files have very irritating background sounds.

I checked both of those places: both IC and DGDN didn't have what I was looking for, and sounddogs.com only lets me preveiw the sounds I want for free (but they do have what I want). Does this mean that I'll be forced to spend money on a few small sound clips that I'll only use once? ='(

When the sound starts in media player just save it to the place you want

That works?

To do that, do you right-click it, or do you go to "file/save" as? I did the "save as" thing, but it only worked once. After that, the bar was unselectable, and I can't find the file in the place I saved it to.

This is probably a stupid question, but is it also possible to get tracks from my iTunes library to the AoK/Sound/Scenario and have them play properly? I have somehow managed to get one of the songs (not from the library though) in there (as a 483kb sized mp3 file), but the game crashes when I try to get a trigger to play it. I don't know much about computers, especially when it comes to things like this, but I compared it to all the other songs in the Sound file, and it doesn't look any different.
