First xD

I'm entering this shit, gives me something to do... By the way, this should probably be stuck to replace the theme discussion thread.

Can we use any system?

[hvo-busterkomo]

Sounds cool, I'm in. Not sure about what I'm making yet.

[Real Impact]

I may be joining, but 1 question. Does 1 import stands for both the model and its corresponding skin?

[Zack1996]

I'm in. But this rule sounds weird:

Teams aren't allowed.

Does that mean that every player must be on a different team, or that participants must work individually? Please clarify :)
EDIT: Decided not to join, I don't feel like making a hero defense :(
EDIT2: Might join if I find the motivation :)

[Eccho]

It means that the author of the map may not be more than once user. Teams in the map, feel free to have whatever you want:P

Im so gonna try entering this :D

[bounty hunter2]

Eccho has answered your question, zack. Good luck everyone.

[JansiGX]

This looks good for my first contest to join :)
Template map (even if its nothing much) saves me some days from just planing everything from nothing :D

[Real Impact]

Can someone answer whether a model and its corresponding skin counts as 1 or 2 imports.
Btw, why do we need a template, i mean like we are going to change the terrain anyway. How would you know whether someone uses the template map or another map with the same map boundary?

[Eccho]

Checking the map coordinates solves that. Anywho, you're fine to change the tileset, and everything, as long as the boundaries are not. This includes selfplaced boundaries I think. You're not able to shrinken your map size that way. Correct me if I am wrong Bounty.

[JansiGX]

I think model with custom skin should count as one import or else this is unfair advantage for those who import models with in-game texture.
btw,many models also have own icons. would that be separate import too?

[bounty hunter2]

Model/Skin/Icon everything is considered a resource of its own.

[Malcous]

Im in.

[Eccho]

Damn I might have no motivation for the contest. I have the ideas, but I guess I am tired. Ill see what it will become.

[Malcous]

I have a great idea :D
