1. Once the undead renewed their onslaught, nothing could stand in their way. In an act of desperation, the people barricaded their homes in hopes of being avoided by the marching Scourge. While many of the barricades saved these poor souls from the claws and blades of the dead, they did not stop the ravaging plague from entering the houses. Trapped, the men and women died alone in the dark, soon to join their enemies' forces.

2. I have sailed the world and seen its wonders
from the Dardanelles, to the mountains of Peru
But there's no place like London...

Quote:

3. Winter approaches as the second Scourge invasion begins and marks the end of the kingdom of Loarderon. The plague of undeath spreads rapidly across the land. Paranoid, the people try to mark the houses of those infected with red symbols. Sadly, these warnings are futile as all the houses' residents are already either dead or worse...

Map file attached accordingly.

I voted for Childeric -- Allthough that wasn't the best one he submitted it's still very nice.

Edhel-dur · 03-22-2008, 08:50 AM

I vote for Childeric. I like frostwhisper's also but a Image is supposed to be understood without any background explanations ;)

Belgarath · 03-22-2008, 08:53 AM

I voted for famous. His is so nicely and contrastly blue.

Parkietje · 03-22-2008, 10:32 AM

My vote goes to Belgarath because of the uniqueness and the well done gloomy atmosphere

~Void~ · 03-22-2008, 03:37 PM

Can I vote even if I'm a judge? :p

Even though MadseN's terrain has an amazing sky, I think frosty's is the better because mad's terrain is just bleak and empty. I kinda see what he was going for with the emptiness thing, but it didn't really work.

JohnSpartan117 · 03-22-2008, 06:17 PM

I vote for Childeric. I liked the gloomy feeling the terrain gives you, and the red mist that permeated the area. That, and the cross on the hill was cool =x. The buildings also had a mysterious look to them.. and to me that's enough to earn my vote. Btw: Cham[p] sucks. =p.

Belgarath · 03-22-2008, 08:59 PM

I guess you have to like Lost to like mine, since I quite did - and not because I thought "zmg dis r besd scween evur11" but rather because it represents something that I like, maybe :P.
This is my opinion to everyones:

MadseN: It's nice, but missing something. The clouds in front of the tower look especially weird, IMO.
Childeric: Nice enough, but you mashed up the grass really badly. The doodads do stand out more then, but I learned that having it with tiles makes it more original than with around one.
Sabertooth: Original idea, but only so-so performed. You should have worked on it more with little details.
Famouspker: I really like it, but that's because I like blue. And you used that a lot. You should have made it more at night, more gloomy.
Volvox: Not good. It's just too orderly and symmetric. You should have added in more details.
frostwhisper: It's nice - probably the best, but I think the idea's just too old. Your atmospheres quite nice, but still lacking something, like I dunno.
Oziris: Its nice and original, but lacking atmosphere and details. I quite like it though.

frostwhisper · 03-23-2008, 07:15 AM

Hmm, just one question: why do the hidden tags contain only one of each person's screenies?

On topic, however: I cast my vote for Belgrath, due to three reasons:
1. It is original and unique.
2. I am a fan of LOST.
3. It matches the contest theme and criteria perfectly.

On a side note I'd like to say good job to all of the participants. I really liked some of the pieces that came out of this contest.

Belgarath · 03-23-2008, 08:53 PM

Yes, true, all people made nice terrains. Although I don't quite see why people are voting for Childeric so much, his is so red and I don't like red terrains - and I didn't know many people did. I guess it's all a matter of opinion.
BTW, when will we know the judges decisions?

HappyTauren · 03-23-2008, 09:30 PM

After the public poll is done, on 29th of march, 2008.

PurgeandFire111 · 03-23-2008, 11:44 PM

MadseN shocked me... again. :)

Next would probably be FrostWhisper or Childeric

Childeric · 03-24-2008, 12:28 AM

I think im getting votes cause it's just so damn creepy. :D
