Nomination: "Best Single-Player Scenario 2017-2020"
Title: "The Necromancer's Path"
https://yadi.sk/d/l2sNl4xg3aj6Fj
Map Description: The Duchy of Bull has undergone many changes in the last two centuries. An orc tribe has settled here, now living side by side with the Imperials. The region is ruled by pyromancer officials, blessed by the emperor. This prosperous piece of a great civilization opens the way for the Necropolis faction to the Holy Unicorn Empire. Aranthir came here for a reason. By the will of Askh, the Sanctuary of the Dragon Scrolls is located on the highest mountain in the Duchy.
Comments: The best single-player map for the Necromancer faction in recent years.

Good day. A request to include this map in the contest has already been submitted by the user Gerter.

(but I am flattered)

Let's get those Shades of Darkness maps done!))

Organizing and holding such a contest is very commendable; it is truly important for the forum as a whole.
}{0TT@6bI4, have you thought about making a poll like this one:

/topic/12225/

Perhaps it's also worth holding a contest for the Best Map of 2012?
The thing is, for some reason, no such contest was held in 2012. That year was skipped.
However, many interesting maps and scenarios were released in 2012; it would be a pity if they all faded into oblivion

I have one more suggestion: how do you feel about including a clause in the contest regulations regarding voluntary financial gratitude from forum participants toward maps they liked? The idea is that if a particular map, scenario, or campaign is enjoyed, it will be possible to thank the map author for their work. Financial gratitude would take the form of a voluntary donation of funds to the map author's card (account). In this case, the map author will provide the account details themselves. The forum administration will not be involved in the donations in any way. This is about voluntary gratitude.

As is known, creating a map takes time, which most people simply do not have. Everyone is immersed in work and a heap of everyday problems. Of course, time to create maps can be found, but for that, a reason in the form of motivation is needed. Otherwise, people will have neither the time nor any particular desire to engage in this. This innovation will help motivate mapmakers and, overall, increase the popularity of the game itself.

For objectivity, so as not to miss a single map, I have made a list of all maps that launch and do not glitch. This will make the contest fair, as all maps created between 2017 and 2019 will be taken into account, and no mapmaker will be forgotten. Additionally, next to each map, it will be possible to specify the bank account (details) of the author who made it. Provided that these details are sent by the map author(s) themselves. Any forum participant may, if they wish, thank the map author with a donation.
Considering that the contest covers 3 years at once (2017, 18, 19), perhaps it's worth putting not 1, but 3 maps up for voting?

In my preliminary list, I assumed that the polls for each topic could include no more than 28 options, so I didn't include many scenarios. Thank you for the work you've done. I think we'll do without monetary prizes for now, considering that there are only 6-7 active map authors. In the next contest, if there is one, a reward system will probably be included. Furthermore, you included topics with maps from Ogo, Murlykotam, and others, creating the topics yourself. And I have no idea about the creation date of the map. Besides, who will we award? Furthermore, we can separate the multiplayer maps and scenarios by year, since there are so many of them. Furthermore, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but you helped us right before the start of the voting, and I had to change everything in a hurry. Now I have to redistribute everything by year again, and also launch 3 polls? In this regard, IMPORTANT! The voting is postponed by 1 day and will last from June 2, 2020, to July 16 of the same year. Three polls will be launched sequentially every 30 minutes for each year in the categories of best scenario and multiplayer, and 1 poll in the category of best campaign.

Also, atlant, I was going to create a poll "of this type," but on Sunday I am incredibly busy, so I didn't launch it. Tomorrow, due to the postponement, I will launch such a poll, and not just one.

Attention! All maps uploaded here by atlant108 are old and very old; they have nothing to do with the 2017-2019 contest.

Didn't you want to exclude these maps from the list?
Could you then create a separate list of maps that we won't be voting for?
But in any case, thank you for creating the polls.

Oh, atlant assured me in PM that they are new.
For everyone's convenience, I'm listing the maps that are being withdrawn from the contest:
-Fight for Justice
-Doomsday
-Counterattack
-First Assignment
-Snow Fortress
-Chill of Death

Oh, atlant assured me in a private message that they are new.
For everyone's convenience, I'm listing the maps that are being removed from the contest:
-Battle for Justice
-Doomsday
-Counterattack
-First Quest
-Snow Fortress
-Chill of Death

Let me clarify this issue:

The scenarios Doomsday, First Quest, Snow Fortress are indeed old and should be removed from the poll. I have removed them from the general list.

The scenario Battle for Justice (version 1.1) was revised and supplemented by the author on 2.10.2017. As proof, I am attaching a file with the map itself, where you can see the date, so the scenario should remain in the voting.

The scenario Counterattack was revised and significantly supplemented by the author on 3.01.2018 - I am sending the file as proof, so the scenario should remain in the voting.

The scenario "Chill of Death" was revised by the author on 22.10.2017 - I am sending the file, so the scenario should remain in the voting

}{0TT@6bI4, could you add a description of the voting process and links to all the survey topics in the first post of this thread?
I took the liberty of changing the names of the survey topics to make it clear how they differ from each other. If something is wrong, please let me know.
Thanks to 13ga for the ideas.
(Also, 13ga suggested creating a separate topic for the voting process and linking to it from the map section. I'm not sure which is better; at first glance, it seems better to continue using this specific topic. However, the final decision rests with the organizer; technically, I can help with any option).

Good idea, let's create links and, at the same time, an announcement that the voting has begun. I don't see the point in creating more topics. I will simply regularly update (as needed) the information on the main page of the regulations.

IMPORTANT! The "Cartmaster 2017-2019" contest has ended. Let's congratulate the winners and prize-winners in the nominations together:

-MasteR, for winning in the nomination "Best Campaign of 2017-2019" with the campaign "Invasion from Hell", as well as: for being a prize-winner in the nomination "Best Scenario of 2019" with the maps "Red Crystal" and "Blue Crystal"

-32MeTpa, for winning in the nomination "Best Multiplayer of 2017-2019" with the map "Hain Peninsula", as well as: for winning in the nomination "Best Scenario of 2017" with the map "Monster Hunter", as well as: for winning in the nomination "Best Scenario of 2019" with the map "Cursed"

-RedHeavenHero, for winning in the nomination "Best Scenario of 2018" with the map "Echo of Emptiness"

-Frozensoull, for being a prize-winner in the nomination "Best Multiplayer of 2017-2019" with the map "The Last Stand"

-KioM, for being a prize-winner in the nomination "Best Scenario of 2017" with the map "Return Home!"

-Gerter, for being a prize-winner in the nomination "Best Scenario of 2018" with the map "Heart of Night"

Now that the contests have concluded and the winners have been determined, it would be a good idea to **feature** the winning maps and the maps that placed in the top three on the first page, at the top of the list. This is because it was done after the end of the contests – the best maps of 2015-2016.

Agreed. I will remove the winners from previous contests and add these ones instead. For now, only the winners, not the runners-up (there are too many), let me know if you disagree.

I agree.
