Special thanks to Ment and Zybr :cool: Sincerely, Dragon124

Already created? That was fast. I'm not much of a mapmaker in the fourth game (I used to make maps a long time ago, but I'm even ashamed to show them :)), but I support the idea of the contest. I advise everyone to participate!
A few notes (how could we do without them?):

There is a week to create maps.

Isn't that a bit short? I understand that in the fourth game, there's no need to mess around with scripts or videos, but personally, I wouldn't create even a decent landscape in a week.

I think all the rules and the design will be finalized later.

Maps of size M-L :)

I'm already starting to create a "Humorous" map... I can say that I've already made the description, name, and main hero; now I'm working on the initial landscape.

Maps of size M-L.

L is indeed "large" :) I don't know, maybe you know better, but my experience tells me that it's better not to rush. Although, giving too much time is also risky.

I would add to the conditions for maps in the S format; they are sometimes encountered in online games. They can also be RPG maps.

Have you already created something? That was fast. I'm not a very good mapmaker in the fourth game (I used to make maps a long time ago, but I'm even ashamed to show them :)), but I support the idea of the contest. I advise everyone to participate!

Isn't that too little time? I understand that in the fourth game, there isn't much fuss with scripts or videos, but personally, I wouldn't create even a decent landscape in a week.

Actually, there are scripts in the fourth game, and therefore there is work with them...
I agree about the time... We need to give at least a month. And I'll probably participate ;) ...
By the way... Has the contest been discussed with the Creator?

Actually, there are scripts in the 4th game, and accordingly, there's some hassle with them...

I know, but many maps manage without them. Scripts are needed if you need to remove some stone or something like that, but this is rarely necessary.

I agree about the time... We need to give at least a month. And I'll probably participate...

A month is good.

"Time is short; now there will be 2 weeks and 3 days (2 weeks for creation and 3 days for testing)."
"If you are creating an RPG map or a Multiplayer map, 2 PEOPLE can participate in the creation!"

"This is an EXAMPLE map for Multiplayer with a humorous twist" ;)
ATTENTION! This was just an EXAMPLE..

I know, but many maps don't use them. Scripts are needed if you need to remove some stone or something, but that's rarely necessary.

A month is a reasonable timeframe.

1. No, it's not rare... Anyway, I'll stop spamming...
2. Yes.

ATTENTION! Map evaluation will be done through voting (Poll). The title will be written, and the author's nickname will be in parentheses. ;)

"Dear mapmakers! Since October 29-30, the 5th festival of classic computer, board, and console games, "Good Old Games - 2011," will be held in Izhevsk.

The festival will be held at the "Izstal" cinema. As part of the festival, Heroes of Might and Magic III will be presented, and possibly Might & Magic: Heroes VI.

Planned number of participants: 200 - 300 people.
Spectators: from 2000 people.
Visitor participation: free.

This festival coincides with the competition, so there may be more interesting prizes, stay tuned! :D

And how much time is given for the contest, after all, 12 days... I would still give a month. Maybe open a voting system?

I also think that a month should be given. It is impossible to create anything worthwhile in 15 days.

Two weeks and three days is indeed 17 days ;) But that's still less than a month...
Also, thanks for creating the poll.
