So, there's a proposal to participate in the "Homm3 - best map" contest. We invite all mappers to take part in the competition!


This topic is created solely to find out if anyone will participate in it. I'll say right away that the winners of the contest will be rewarded with prizes, not only virtual ones (in the profile) but also real ones. The rules of the contest are still being considered, and in the meantime, you can think about your future maps!
P.S. the maps will presumably be made in the editor for Armageddon's Blade.

The contest is good and interesting...
It's just a pity that I'm not a mapmaker.

Then I suggest you take on the role of a judge. If you agree, write to me in a private message. We'll discuss everything together.

I wouldn't mind participating. I've been creating maps quite often lately, so I'm up for it. For the revival.

The idea is great! However, we need to clarify the following points right away: How will the map be evaluated? 1) Playability 2) Beauty of the landscape 3) Map size etc. or based on all of the above. P.S. I, in turn, can organize a tournament for the best map from this contest. Sincerely, VDV_forever

Here's what Joker suggested:
***JOKER***
in short: map size, presence of a dungeon, number of opponents, number of mini-quests, plot, etc.

So, in short, here are the rules.
The best map will be chosen (based on a scoring system) according to the following criteria:
1) Map size (the larger the map, the better), and it would also be good to have a dungeon.
2) Originality of the map (a good plot, an unusual and beautiful world (but, of course, within reasonable limits), etc.).
3) Number and quality of enemies (presence of neutrals, opposing factions, etc.).
4) Number and quality of mini-quests.
5) Playability and difficulty level; ideally, the map should be aimed at players of average skill.
That's not all; I'll think about it and add something else. You can come up with your own criteria, and I will take them into account.
The most important thing is that there will be one plot (which we will come up with together with the judges), and you should create a map specifically for it. This is necessary, firstly, so that none of the participants takes a map from other web resources and claims it as their own.
P.S. Vdv_forever, it would be great... regarding the competition...
By the way, there are already two judges: that's me (I think I'll be the main judge) and one layman (just kidding) – Serge. Vdv_forever, I suggest you become the third judge; if you agree, write to me in a private message, and I'll explain everything. If not, then participate; I really want to see your work!

:) That's good, the more participants, the better... The main thing is that it doesn't turn out like the first offline tournament for Heroes 5. Many applications were submitted, but only half as many participated...

Here's a suggestion: make the contest monthly/quarterly with prizes. That way, HeroesWorld would have its own regular contest (which would also be applicable with the introduction of the editor in Heroes V), and who knows, maybe it will even lead to a "HW Rating" system!

This is all great, but there are still not enough people! We need more participants! Nobody probably knows about the prizes!!!

I vote NO; I won't, but it's a good idea. I just don't make the best maps.

UTER, does it really matter? Whether they are the best or not is up to the jury to decide ;) The main thing is participation, isn't it nice to contribute to the HeroesWorld collection? :)
