so long ago the idea of a community movie/map came up. sadly it never got off the ground due to the fact only one person could do things to the map at once. but if you think of it the obvious solution would be to to do instead a comunity Campaign. it would take a while but this is how it would work.

1- for the purposes of getting the ball rooling this cinematic has been chossen:

(yep its good but the dessigners to lazy to take it forward.)

2- a dessigner makes the first map in the campaign. they can write the story for their map only. but they must know how the map finnishes soon after their go starts.

3- next person continues trend as soon as he/she knows how the previous map ends. he/she can only dessign the stroy and map for his/her map but it still has to continue the story.

4- at a set map number which is long anoth for the cammpaign (lets say 16 maps) the final map and cinematic map are put together. then its put into a campaign menu for us all to enjoy.

rules
-----

1-one map each- then 18 dessigners can be involved.
2-if the map is entered from a group or studio of some form no one else from that studio can enter one. this means more less known dessigners can be involved. this also makes sure it is not a competition between which team can get the most maps.
3- the story must remain a secret from the AOMH comunity. all story information needs to be passed on now. and a copy send to me at reach268@hotmail.com so i can proff read details.
4-try and have a lerning curve. maps 1-3 should be fairly easy while maps 13-16 should be a chalange.

Notes on the story:
1- dont call a character just frank when you pass on details, also state what unit frank is (also don't EVER use the name frank)
2- if any character is killed make sure his name and his unit type is passed along. we don't want a chiron suddenly comming back from the dead etc.
3- no totally outrageous story lines. If a player can suddenly Control the minds of Bears into killing everyone its a complete failure of a story line. The main characters power should grow, but not beyond his enemy, only to equel it, thus making the final map chalanging.
