Why hello there good sirs, I am Vorpal Saint. Today I would like to present to you with my first very own contest. The Conquest Forge Off! In this contest, forgers will make a map designed for the gametype Conquest. Conquest is a game variant of Flag Rally. In short, its a symmetrical territories game with non-locking territories. The gameplay pans out in the form of a tug-o-war match for the center ground and beyond. Traditionally, the Sniper Rifle is the only power weapon allowed in Conquest, with the rest of the weapon loadout consists of a couple BR's, plentiful duals, and some support weapons such as the Brute Shot or Needler. For more information on the specifics of Conquest, read
this thread.
Rules:
- Must be on Foundry.
- Must be set up like a traditional conquest map.
- Must support the gametype Conquest.
- Any forging tricks, besides modding, can be used.
- If working together please limit to two people.
- All submissions must be posted in this thread.
- Do not use someone else's map.
- Do not use a map you have already posted.
Prize(s): - The custom title of: Conquest Master
- A count towards the two maps needed for Premium rank. NOTE: This is not an auto-feature, it purely is just a count towards the rank premium, there will be no write up for the winner and no featured thread for it, but don't worry, you'll still have a count to premium so if you do get another feature (or if you already have one) then you'll get premium.
Judges: - Staff
- Forge Hub's Tester's Guild (Senior Members +)
What forgers will be judged on: - Enjoyment: Does your conquest map have us wanting us to keep it on our box? Does it make us want to not even bother with the next map and just play it again? If so then your map will do well in this area.
- Balance: Do both teams have an equal chance at bashing the other? Are there any over-pushing forces in your map? If it's equally balanced, then your map will score highly.
- Aesthetics: Does your map look pleasing to the eye? Does it make jaws drop? If so, then a high score in this is for sure.
- Creativity: What does your conquest map have that others don't? Does it have some sort of death pit? Maybe there're teleporter boxes? (NB: These are both already used in some conquest maps) If you can think up something new and exciting for conquest then you should be scoring fine in this.
All submissions must be in by 9:00PM EST on February 21, 2009. Any submissions that do not follow the rules will be disqualified. Judging will take place over a period of five days or so. The results will be announced after judging has taken place. Feel free to use this thread to talk about the contest. If you have any questions please post them here or
