DragonBlood11 presents....
In cooperation with Yeebaagooon and AoMH...
25 People who Changed AoM: A Tribute to the 25 Most Influential AoM Designers, Scripters, Modders, and Moderators.

With the recent nostalgia rush between the impending release of Ripto, Auron's brief visit, and a few other things I thought now would be the time to do this. I have created a list of 25 past and present AoM Designers, Scripters, Modders, and AoMH Moderators, who changed AoM as we know it. These members come from all different backgrounds and all corners of the globe but one thing they all had in common were they all loved designing and without them the design community would not be the same. Throughout the next 25 days I will be counting down my list of the 25 most influential people in AoM design history. This will also give newer members a chance to learn the names of the person who created those triggers or that utility program that they couldn't design without. So starting July 15, 2009 until August 9, 2009 I will (attempt) to reveal a new name every day followed by a short bio and a little information. Enjoy

NOTE: Newer members do not expect to be on this list. The newest person on this list(as in the one with the most recent join date) is from 2006.

Number One

Name:nottud
Achievements: So many achievements that were thought of as impossible
Bio: nottud joined AoMH in 2005. His first maps included the Pit of Doom, Avenger Race, and many more. nottud soon gained a reputation for finding weird glitches in the editor that designers could use to their advantage. In addition he also began to create RM scripts as well as scenarios. His RM debut was called islands and was basically a map with islands. While nottud had a number of decent scenarios and RMS including Escape 4 Worlds, Ancient Evil RPG, and Magic Floor, his name became big when he released Nottud's complete guide, map, template, etc super pack. It recieved a three 5 star ratings and included random maps, templates, the Complete Age of Mythology Sound List, and much more. Soon afterwards he made it possible to rotate buildings in game, and triggers allowing you to select players 11 and 12. His reputatiom soon began to grow as a skilled scenario design, RM scripter, and trigger creator. He created the Checked terrain type! which did work online and I used in my scenario Color Escape. He then compiled his triggers and editor mods with reyk's and others to create Nottud's Editor Superpack and Nottud's Ultimate Editor Superpack. He has created some widely popular triggers including the Transform trigger, conditional effects, shop triggers, and the Search triggers. He also created the stretch unit templates for eyecandiers. Nottud is also known for making scenarios in random map format such as Mythodea, the highly popular Battle of the Shapeshifters, and Chaos in World RPG, all done through RMS. In nearly 4 years nottud's reputation changed from that of an average scenario designer, to a legend and a master of all trades. His various skills and talents changed Age of Mythology and his editor mods took scenario design to a whole other level. It is nottud's jack of all trades style, his epic triggers and random maps, and finally his fun and innovative scenarios that make nottud one of the most influential designers of all time. Without nottud I wouldn't be here right now also so an ode to the boy with a mad imagination.

Bloodsport was where I got the original custom code thingy that I used on my random maps. A while later I greatly improved the efficiency of it allowing longer commands to be entered via it.

Number Three

Name:Ykkrosh
Achievements: The Father of Modding
Bio: Ykkrosh joined HG in 2001, and eventually migrated over to AoMH. He soon began looking for ways to modify the game, and being a competent programmer, released AoMED, which gave birth to modding. AoMED allowed users to convert formats used solely by AoM into common file formats, and vice versa allowing people to mod the game. In addition to AoMED he also created The BAR Builder. AoMED and the BAR Builder literally created modding. Without these two essential applications modding would not exist as it does today, and possibly wouldn't exist at all. A lot of the editor addons created by nottud, reyk, CheeZy, and others would not be possible without Ykkrosh's contributions, nor would many of the great mods created by people like Stephen Caines, PrplPplEater, and other modders. Even though he was not the most active AoMH forummer his contributions are shown in all areas of scenario design. It is AoMED and the Bar Builder, and his knowledge of AoM's insides that make Ykkrosh one of the most influential designers of all time.

Just as was stated by DragonBlood, Ykkrosh gave birth to modding. Though he was before my time began here, I like everyone else here, be they scenario designer, modder or both, have benefited from AoMED.

I actually emailed him at one point a year or two ago about making a Titans version of AOMMed. He was very helpful..

Only if it has no titans units, no titans triggers, no titans terrains etc. And those are the things AoMEd has trouble with.

Number Two

Name:Oscar
Achievements: One of the greatest eyecandiers and overall scenario designers of all time
Bio: Oscar joined AoMH in 2003. During his time at AoMH his reputation grew to people labeling him "The Greatest Designer of All Time". His first scenarios were Flight from Elinos and LOYALTY AND HONOR both which recieved mixed reviews, however Oscar's future looked bright. His next scenario was Polaris vs Cow Warrior which also recieved mixed reviews. About 9 months after Polaris vs Cow Warrior her released The Lord of the the Battles a three level LoTR campaign that chronicled the adventures of the Fellowship. It was his first of many critically acclaimed creations recieving a 4.5 rating and over 13,000 downloads. His next release followed a month later and was a single player scenario entitled SCIPIO. Despite not recieving nearly as many downloads the scenario recieved a 4.4 average in 4 reviews. On Christmas Eve 2004 Oscar released The Lost Legion often considered one of his greatest works. The file has garnered nearly 10,000 downloads and a 4.8 rating in 8 reviews. Nearly a year later, with the help of Sziggi and Ganesh, he released the legendary The Guardians a campaign that set a new standard for quality and eyecandy. The Guardians is his most known work and has a 4.6 rating over 15 reviews and over 10,000 downloads. After nearly a year and a half of design absence Oscar made his multiplayer debut with Adventures 1 RPG. The map was praised for its Balance and Creativity. He followed up on Adventures with Adventures 2 which continued with a lot of the features that made the first game so exciting. His final contribution to the AoMH community was made in May 2008, when he released the final installment in the Adventures series Adventures 3. The scenario has recieved a perfect 5.0 rating and is the only multiplayer scenario on AoMH to do so. Oscar created legendary maps. The eyecandy style used by many designers today is called "Oscar Style Eyecandy" because it was he who made it popular. Oscar set a new bar in scenario design. Without his legendary scenarios, eyecandy, and storylines scenario design would not be anywhere near where it is today. It is Oscar's legendary eyecandy, scenarios, storylines, and overall innovation that make him one of the most influential designers of all time. I tip my hat to the Italian Stallion, who is personally my biggest influence. And one more thing...ITALIAN (AMERICAN) PRIDE!!

Guys, I am going on vocation on Monday. I will try to complete the list tomorrow. If not then I will be back on Sunday.

Ah Oscar, IMO the best eyecandier AoM has ever seen.

His maps were truly legendary and a massive inspiration to me and countless others. I think Oscar is the best scenario designer in the history of AoMH by far.

Nottud is plain awesome. Would like to notate that rotating buildings was not done first by him, I saw a couple people do it before he released anything on AOMH and did figure out how to do so myself... although I was rather selfish and didn't upload a guide or something >.>

Something something a quarter of a century old.
