Is there any progress in this direction? It would be interesting to participate. Competition encourages creating better, higher-quality, and more interesting maps; a contest will further stimulate this competition.

Personally, last time, even just drawing medals for the winners took an unreasonable amount of time.
If the problem is only this, I can help with the medals. Just provide a list of nominations, and I'll create a medal for each.
Well, Anton Turov wrote to me in a private message saying that he supposedly wants something like that. As for me, I haven't been on the forum very often lately...
Yes, the idea is good, of course, but in my opinion, the forum is not in a state where there would be enough participants, nor would the organization be at a high level. I would participate myself, of course.
Here's one suggestion: how about including a clause in the contest rules that allows for voluntary material rewards from forum participants for maps they like? The idea is that if a particular map, scenario, or campaign is well-received, players can reward the map creator for their work. This material reward would take the form of a voluntary donation to the map creator's account. The map creator would provide this account information themselves. The forum administration would not be involved in the donations in any way. This is about voluntary appreciation.
As you know, creating a map takes time, which most people simply don't have. Everyone is busy with work and a lot of everyday problems. Of course, time can be found to create maps, but this requires a reason in the form of motivation. Otherwise, people won't have the time or the desire to do it. This new feature will help motivate map creators and, overall, increase the popularity of the game.
ATTENTION! The "Cartmaster 2021" contest has ended. Let's congratulate the winners and prize-winners in the nominations together, namely:
- Andrei_21, for winning in the "Best Campaign of 2021" nomination with the campaign "Gray Alliance" - KoB, for winning in the "Best Multiplayer of 2021" nomination with the map BTD_RMS - BigBrazer, for winning in the "Best Scenario of 2021" nomination with the map "Nightmare on Elm Street" Congratulations!
Could you tell me which maps created in 2022 are the best and most interesting?
Could you recommend some of the best and most interesting maps created in 2022?
Delvi, I don't know if you've played the map "Legacy of the Past" by Andrei_21. If not, you should definitely give it a try! Especially considering the author is planning a campaign soon And even if you have played it, you can replay it; it's a very interesting map
However, if he were here, I think your maps – "Fallen Knight" and "Heart of Chaos"would be among the best.
Unfortunately, no, as both maps were created in 2023. Among the good scenarios from 2022, I would recommend "Hill of the Dead" and, most likely, the winner of the 2022 mapmaker competition, "Dark Facets." And in 2023, besides BlueHeavenHero, no one else seems to have published anything, but – let's see what happens by January 🙂
Among the good scenarios from 2022, I would recommend "Hollow of the Dead" and, most likely, the winner of the 2022 mapmaker competition, "Dark Facets."
}{0TT@6bI4, you recommended 2 maps: "Dark Facets" and "Hollow of the Dead." In turn, IchGViji advised me to play the map "Legacy of the Past" by Andrei_21. Am I correct in understanding that if I play these 3 maps and, for example, I like "Hollow of the Dead" more, then this map will become the winner of the competition? And I can write about it in this thread. Or is it decided differently? The question is - is it decided by one person or several?

It works a little differently, but I have never been a participant in Mapmasters and don't know exactly how it works.

In December of the outgoing year, a thread with a poll is created on the forum, which includes all the maps for that year. Based on the results of the poll, the map that receives the maximum number of votes becomes the winner (in case of a tie, the vote is cast by someone "holding" the tiebreaker - for example, a moderator). Unfortunately, the number of voters in the poll, although not zero, is insufficient for a full-fledged vote: it would be strange to award the best map based on the votes of 5 users. Due to this, the Cartmaster contest has not been held since 2022.
Unfortunately, the number of voters in the poll, while not zero, is insufficient for a proper vote: it would have been strange to award the best map based on the votes of 5 users. Due to this, the Cartmaster competition has not been held since 2022.
And what was the number of votes in the past, in 2021, 2020, etc.? What is the minimum number of voters required?
The information is not confidential; you can open topics with polls and take a look. In 2017-2019, 15-20 people voted, in 2020 – 10, in the Remix contest – 7-8, and in 2021 – also around 10. I might be wrong; I didn't count exactly.
Anyone can launch the mapmaker if they want to create a corresponding topic, design the awards, collect all the maps for the desired year, and create a poll. If you want, you can try (in December); I'll help with pinning the topics, awarding prizes, and other things.
I don't see the point in just launching the mapmaker when there are tons of maps from various Varimatas and Dan Topov on the forum.

And even if you have played it, you can replay it; it's a very interesting map
