2. An overpopulated map and a large map are two different things. I repeat, the map can be of any size – the main thing is not to overpopulate it so that the map doesn't become too cluttered.
I was guided by what was written:
Mish-gan

(the map should run smoothly on an average PC);
Or let it lag, but not because of overpopulation? :)
Mish-gan

4. Even a real Walkthrough should have moderation!
I absolutely disagree. But it's not up to me to decide ;)
Mish-gan

5. Let there be fewer maps, but I hope the quality is better!
With lagging scripts made by beginners....
Mish-gan

6. A beginner is a relative and temporary concept. Today he is a beginner, and tomorrow he is already an ace!
Some people just don't have the aptitude, others will learn, but after the contest :)
Mish-gan

P.S. I hope you will also participate in the contest.
I hope so too. As I said, I might be busy. I have studies and work. I'm already sometimes behind on my studies, so anything is possible. Therefore, if I don't have any serious plans, I will definitely participate, because I don't want to submit a weak map for the game.

Mish-gan, hello! I will upload the map to the contest after I fix it. Also, you can apply to join the order of mapmakers! I have already posted the charter. We already have more than 4 people. And everything else will be added in the process. If you think it's too early, let's do it later. P.S. Mish-gan, thank you very much for your help in testing the map.

Already 13. I will participate too. It’s interesting how many people will join; perhaps the deadline for submitting applications could be extended.

Sufficient time was allotted for registration (1 month); we will adhere to the regulations. As of today, 14 people have submitted applications.

Hmm... Gmail seems to be having some issues... I'm not sure if my application reached you...
I'd like to give it a try. As I understand, storytelling isn't mandatory in multiplayer maps, right? Only a map description is needed?

Your application has been accepted.
That's correct, a storyline is not required.

If there are any complaints about the submissions, the authors of the submitted maps will be notified by the organizer, and they will also be told exactly what needs to be changed.

IMPORTANT: Dear contest participants, please pay attention to the quality of the maps! To date, I have had to return 4 submitted maps due to numerous flaws (for example: incorrect placement of objects and neutral creatures, impassable terrain, and vice versa, passable terrain in inappropriate places, as well as other minor shortcomings). I also especially ask you to pay attention to the balance in the maps, the placement of artifacts, and the strength of computer-controlled heroes and neutral creatures!

If repeated errors are found, the map will not be allowed to participate in the contest.
Please take your work more seriously!

The submission period for maps has ended, and it's now time to vote. But first, I'd like to highlight the negative and positive aspects of the map submission process from the contest participants.

The negative aspects are reflected in the statistics:
registered participants – 16;
maps submitted – 18 maps;
participants caught plagiarizing – 4 (8 maps);
maps sent for revision – 5;
maps accepted after revision – 3;
maps admitted to the contest – 8 maps.

I want to emphasize that I automatically disqualified those participants who were caught plagiarizing – they are unscrupulous. It's also a pity that not everyone who submitted applications participated in the contest.

On the positive side, I can say that the maps that will participate in the contest are of quite good quality, and some, in my opinion, are little masterpieces.


IMPORTANT: Please, before casting your vote, replay all the participant maps to make the most objective assessment!

VOTING RULES:

RESTRICTIONS: only forum members who registered on the HeroesWorld website before March 7, 2010, can vote, and each person can only vote once. Furthermore, a contestant cannot vote for their own map, but they can vote for another one, please!

HOW TO VOTE: voting will take place by posting in this thread, where you need to indicate the nomination, the name of the map, and the reason why you think this map is the best in each nomination, as well as the most original map in your opinion.

VOTING EXAMPLE (for completeness, it is desirable to write like this in the message):

Nomination – single-player map
Map – Frankinshtein
I liked this map because ……………………………

Nomination – Multiplayer
Map – Plan Barbarosa
I liked this map because ……………………………

Nomination – most original map
Map – Plan Barbarosa
I liked this map because ……………………………

THE MAPS FOR VOTING WILL BE POSTED IN THIS THREAD SOON!
