Results!
============================================================
In first place we find HockeySam18's adaption of one of the famous scenes from Lord of the Rings. With a series of intense, unique fights and the most beautiful map of all entries, this minigame earned high scores from all three judges, landing it in first place, four points ahead of the runner-up!
============================================================
"City of Peace" is a detective story in which you play Jaf'ar, the Sultan's vizier in Bagdad during the Islamic Golden Age, and your objective is to solve the murder of a local girl with close ties to the palace. It's a unique scenario that forces you to really use your brain to win!
============================================================
Tied for third place we find Possidon's "Across the Sea", a story of two people lost at sea at different moments in time, told in snapshots and flashbacks. Its mysterious setting and psychological gameplay earned it several high scores.
============================================================
Alongside Possidon's entry we find Cysion's "The Colossuem", a puzzle scenario set in ancient Rome. This scenario forces you to think outside the box, and combines puzzles with interesting gameplay mechanics to create a fun scenario!
============================================================
Perhaps the most challenging of all entries, this scenario consists of four unique tactical challenges set in a type of arena. You have to use your tactical knowledge and micromanagement skills (and the F3 button!) to maximum effect to crack this nut!
============================================================
"Rebirth of a Nation" is a short stealth mission in which you're tasked with retrieving a document from a rebel town. With a sountrack composed of 16-bit songs and hard rock, it makes for a very interesting game!
============================================================
"Tax me if you can" is a defend the spot scenario with progressively difficult levels, and multiple challenging bosses. The story is simple but well-suited for the gameplay: after refusing to pay taxes to your extortionist overlord, he attacks your village with all his might. Now it's your job to hold him off!
============================================================
"Encounter with a ghost" is a puzzle-like scenario in which you perform tasks assigned to you by a ghost that you find strangely reminiscient... A simple scenario with a primary focus on story and intrigue.
============================================================
Tied with Little Fighter's entry, we find MrMew's "Redwood Garrison", a simple defend the spot scenario in which your task is to defend a tower against the on-rushing enemy. Despite only having 16 triggers, it still manages to be an enjoyable short scenario!
============================================================

A bunch of people have been asking for another MGC, so, here it is!
Welcome to the AoKH Minigame Competition, the sixth of its kind since it all began in 2007! This is a contest where designers try to create the best scenario they can on a 25x25 or smaller map. Previous winners include

• Mod packs and data editing are both allowed. If you do use modpacks such as BF_Tanks' enhanced eye-candy editor, please include the file with your submission. Also, be sure to credit the author of any file you use.
•Age of Kings: HD and The Forgotten are both allowed, but remember that using any of their new units or features doesn't automatically score you points: it's what you do with the tools at hand that counts.
• Your submission must be less than 10 mb in size.
• You can't enter anything already submitted to the Blacksmith or the Steam Workshop. You may upload them to both places simultaneously, but your entry must be made specifically for this competition.
