Topic Subject: Game of the Year 2017 - Results In!
posted 06-12-18 07:08 AM CT (US)   


Emerging from the horrors of a multi-month snowstorm, the lords of AoKH realize that a deplorable catastrophe has occurred: their absence has resulted in an uncharacteristic delay in the Game of the Year celebration of 2017. Trudging towards the warmth of the great hall, they invite the community to once again turn its attention to our fine corps of scenario designers and modders here at AoKH. While it is true that nearly half of a new year is upon us, it is imperative to not forget the toils of the previous year. Many of us have been hard at work creating new and novel things to play, while others have been taking well-deserved rests. In this thread, we all get the chance to celebrate the hard work and success of our brothers in arms!

If you are new to GotY, this is a thread were you get to vote for the scenarios and mods that you think were the very best from the past year, in ten different categories, as well as three categories for the designers behind them!

So send word to all corners of the realm and rally the good folk to join you in deciding what are and who designed the finest masterpieces of them all!


HOSTS:

Four years ago, after many years of fine work, Lord Basse decided to pass the torch to yours truly. Additionally, the Game of the Year Awards are co-hosted with our benevolent mods Leif Ericson, Mr Wednesday, and Mash! All of them have been of great help in making nominations.


RULES:

• In the categories 1 to 8, as well as in category 12, you may only pick one nominee to vote for.
• In the categories 9 to 11, as well as in category 13, you may pick up to three nominees of your own choice (i.e. there's no list to choose from).
• You may not vote for yourself or for a scenario/campaign made by yourself.
• You don't HAVE to vote in every category, but do try to vote in as many categories as you can!
• In categories 1 to 8 and category 12, if you think there was a file released last year that was better than all the nominees in that particular category, you may (but aren't obligated to) cast a Wildcard Vote for that file in one of the categories. Please mark your wildcard vote in red.
• Every nominee you vote for will receive one point. In categories 9 to 11, all three nominees will receive one point each.
• All ballots must be sent in as a reply to this thread before July 1st, forum time (GMT -6). You may edit your ballot as you wish up until the 1st, but all ballots posted or edited on or after the 1st will not be counted.

Bassi's Legend of the White King was available on steam in august or something last year, but I guess your counting AoKH release dates. Also, its almost unfair to include the PTC entries as competitors to the normal scenarios...


1. Best Gameplay

Wind of the North (Mash)
Simply refreshing gameplay that plays out smoothly and is always easy to replay

Runner up: Kings of Destruction - Battles of the Khans (Bassi)
Would make number 1 with no lag;still enjoyable to sack cities with the OP mangudai



2. Best Map Design

PTC17 - Juval Province (Julius999)
Inspirational map with a lot of good dirt1 usage and well varied locales.

Runner up: All Bassi scenarios.
Vibrant jungles with great water usage. A few European or East Asian maps that looked the part also. The steppelands of KoD were very nice.



3. Best Story

PTC17 - Agartha (Lord Basse)
Immersive story was delivered perfectly along with the ruined city to explore

Runner up: Its tough to pick one. Wind of the north, Minato and the Imperial Regalia, and Juval Province all delivered good performances. I cannot make up my mind at the moment.



4. Best Score (Music & Sound Effects)

Wind of the North (Mash)
I fell in love with the perfect atmosphere here, and you can practically get a whiff of seawater at times. The dread of the everlooming viking menace looms large in the players mind thanks to the audio effects.



5. The Dunscombe Trophy (Most Creative Scenario/Campaign)

PTC17 - The Spires of Heaven (Mr. Wednesday)
Clever usage of 2d tricks abound here with many creative setpieces using gravestones or the like to create whole new objects

Runner Up:Minato and the Imperial Regalia (AoE2 Edhun)
Trigger wise its quite an impressive showing, with special abilities and skill trees. However the quests given along the way tend to be fairly mundane and some gameplay sections were a tad too simple. Still a great effort to make a game within a game;probably too much of an effort to really demand much more out of an author at this point.




6. Best Multiplayer Scenario
Unfortunately I have 800+ ping internet now so no more multiplayer for me. Lildbehr's Oligarchs looks interesting, though.




7. The Bosch Award (Best Mod Pack)
Warsmithy's Byzantine Architecture?!




8. Best Unit Mod
No opinion




9. Best Newcomer
Warsmithy
Edhun
Shuvro
Bassi This guy aint new, he has that "musty old relic of a bygone era" smell all over him




10. Most Improved Designer
Hard to say since I don't feel like I know the personalities well enough. I wouldn't include Bassi on this list as I consider one of his past AgeArena works to be a masterpiece and others of his that I've played were pretty good for starters anyway.




11. Designer of the Year
Bassi
An absurd year with many campaigns all at a high level of production

Runner up: Seconding the "Stormwind Trio" pick




12. Most Promising Project
Aethelflaed (Mash)
Progress is happening!

Runner up:Heart of the Dragon (Mash)
Whats there is already incredible!



13. Release of the Year
WololoKingdoms all the way baby

Seeing as I was off the grid on vacation for the 4th of July for the past few days and didn't even bring a computer with me, I'll count it.

Congratulations to Bassi! With all those incredible releases in 2017, it definitely felt like his year. Well deserved.

Congratulations to everyone who won, it seems people are just as active as in the day, which is fantastic for a game produced in the 90s. I see old designers like Mash making a comeback, and new ones I never got aquainted with like Bassi stealing the show.

I have a nice shortlist here in case I finally decide to install AOK again and play some custom stuff.

Good hearing from you, Panel.

When can we expect your Mash-esque comeback as well?

Nice to see you around Panel!

Great to see you guys are still here, reminds me of the old days.

right now it's highly unlikely, so all I can say is "never say never". Real life has been crazy for me in the past few years, I have a company to run, albeit small, that takes up most of my time including weekends. But I do hope to at least get to play a few of these games this summer, and maybe it will bring back my scenario design appetite. I'll probably ask you guys for some heads-up if I ever get back in the editor, since I've been out of the loop for so long I have no idea what are the tools of the trade these days.

How you ever uninstalled it is beyond me.
