Base contest?
If there is one thing that goes unnoticed in the C&C games it is the bases. I have been thinking, why not see who can put together a great base via map editing (Crucial to getting a great fortress to emerge). Basically, you are using a map editor to create a base that is a singleplayer mission with a faction theme, patrols, and all the functions of a working base and then some. I really am not sure if this will be a mess but it would be great to try.
Prizes: Bragging rights, any others are to be determined.
Judges: Need some.
Games: TS & RA2 (TS is probably your best bet here IMO)
Submission Due Date: To be determined
Kickass Logo: Absent
Judge Criteria
Playablility: 20 - Has to be playble via a campaign.
Creativity: 30 - What good is 30 maps all the same design.
Natural Flow: 20 - Let mother nature lend a hand to beautify your base.
Triggers/Teams/Patrols: 20 - Make the base come to life.
Defense: 10 - What use is a base without defense, can be natural or man-made.
Rules (Subject to change)
The map must not be put up for download or shown anywhere before the end of the contest.
The map must not have a single IE, simple bugs will be deducted from playability.
The map must have a faction theme, no GDI/Nod or Yuri/Allied Coalitions.
Answering choice 4 on the poll is automatic disqualification.
Anyhow, it's in need of judges and a logo. I guess only about 3 judges.
Delayed til some of the other contests end. Last edited by Darkstorm on Sun Jan 17, 2010 6:06 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
Wait.... let me see, soo its an contest to make the most real and kick-ass AI and also an good fauna,etc...?
Looks strange but very interesting
But, now theres also the Carthographers call competition happening, i don't think guys will work on two maps in like 1 or 2 months, i think, you should, put it on hold, until the other competition is over!
EDIT: really, i don't get the third rule! QUICK_EDIT

Currently im working on a GDI/mutant commando mission to do with taking on a fortress city, would something like this be allowed? or can it not be that sort of mission ?
also would fortress citys also be allowed as well as or instead of big bases?
as long as i dont have to change my map lots from the original idea
im in
Edit again what about expansion packs and map expansions?(although i dont use them) would you be allowed to use yuris revenge rather than redalert or could you use TS with firestrom? _________________ Creator of TS:BoB and some other things that might be good when finnished. QUICK_EDIT
What's with this huge fluxuation in comp's? To many at one time is a very bad idea. We already have (2) mapping comps going, and a small building comp. "Insanity grows near" _________________

yea Darkstorm i think it would be wise to put it of for a bit, find out if the other map comp judges want to take part etc, then workout a date which is best (at least a week after the 15th)
(ive only just learnt about the the small building comp and hate mapping RA2 so im going for this comp) _________________ Creator of TS:BoB and some other things that might be good when finnished. QUICK_EDIT
Yeah, I was thinking about that, I guess I'm gonna have to delay this until the end of the other competitions, the only "allied" themes as far as factions go would probably be GDI/Mutant but only slightly. As far as mods are concerned, I'm gonna have to say only modding to the map, no external mods. QUICK_EDIT

But it will be to see who can map the largest, nicest and secured base using world builder. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
