Friends, I'll be honest, I haven't played all the maps and scenarios from this list. Knowing that the map creators spent a lot of time and effort creating and balancing each map, I decided to do the following:

- First, I'll play all the maps and scenarios presented in the poll. If it's a scenario, I'll try to complete it as a Hero; if it's Multiplayer, I'll play several times with different races for objectivity.
- I'll post my progress and impressions in the corresponding threads; then I'll play through the Campaigns and evaluate them in the threads.

I plan to evaluate maps, scenarios, and Campaigns based on the following principles:

- Plot (from 1 to 10)
- Balance (from 1 to 10)
- Dynamics (from 1 to 10)
- Graphic design and Landscape (from 1 to 10)
- Playability, i.e., how interesting it is to play on the map... (from 1 to 10)
- Game atmosphere (from 1 to 10)
- Features, i.e., what distinguishes the map from others (from 1 to 10)

Thus, my choice of the best map will be clear and well-considered.

After that, I will vote:
for the best Multiplayer map, the best scenario, and the best Campaign. However, I don't see any of the Campaigns that were released in 2015-2016 in the list, but I think they will be added later.

Actually, I don't see among the list of campaigns that were released in 2015-2016, but I think they will be added later.

The campaigns didn't fit in the list, so we're voting in the thread.

This time, the companies are like the rainfall in Atakama – a mixed bag. The work is only half as good as it could be. By applying innovative methods and nanotechnology, we managed to capture a significant positive charge in “Dungeons and Devils.” There was a strong desire to leave many of the choices at zero, but ultimately, I decided to acknowledge the author's effort and willingness to improve the material.

What are the deadlines for submissions? Do you really need to play on all the maps? It turns out that the beauty of the contest lies in the fact that maps were created even in 2016.

What are the deadlines for voting?

Until approximately February 20th, but it's best to cast your vote no later than the 19th.

The poll lasts for a month, just like last time. It will close 31 days from this date (January 20, 2017, 0:53 Moscow time).

Bumping the thread.
Just wanted to say that, as of now, only serovoy has voted for the multiplayer maps from 2015. If this continues, it will be difficult to determine a winner in this category...

2015, Multiplayer, I vote for:

- Three Roads (2015, multiplayer)
- Arena of Worlds (2015, multiplayer)
- Birth of Legends (2015, multiplayer)

But in my opinion, the best of these three is Birth of Legends.

2016, Multiplayer, I vote for: However, I can't seem to cast a vote.

- Bay of Destiny (2016, multiplayer)
- Lost Islands (2016, multiplayer)
- New War (2016, multiplayer)

The best of these three is Bay of Destiny.

Thank you for your votes.

And what now? The person selected 12 maps, but could only vote for 3? I just reviewed the voting results, and it seems to me that this problem is not only with Rameliya, but also with everyone else who voted, she just wrote about it:))))

What should we do now?

Just vote in the thread if there are any problems. I created a poll for clarity and my own convenience, but if that doesn't work, I can easily count the votes manually.

campaign 2015-2016

campaign 2015

- The Story of Zallula. Although it's the only campaign of this year, it's interesting.

campaign 2016

Definitely, the best one is Dungeons and Devils.

By the way, if you didn't notice: the nomination for campaigns is joint, and not separately by year. Everything else is correct, thanks again!

Due to a lack of free time, I probably won't be able to test more than a third of the submitted maps, so I'll vote for what I'm sure about. From the campaigns, I'll choose Echoes of War.

I would like to wish all the enthusiastic authors and their maps good luck, but to evaluate them properly, I need to download and play them all myself, and unfortunately, I don't have the time for that.
