Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[Deolrin]

That looks awesome, but I don't understand how is that supposed to be a battlefield? I thought the point was two parties fighting i.e. Orcs vs Humans or something. What you posted looks like it would fit 'cataclysm' or 'apocalypse' more.

 

[Azharr]

hrmm, I haven't every really gotten past making terrain for maps... I think I might give this a shot
does it have to be playable? And in any particular map size?

 

[Cihparg]

Okay, lets put things straight.

1. The theme is a battlefield, yes.
So I can basically re-create some movie from Warcraft 3?

2. How many days are left?
Yes yes, I'm lazy to count 'em, so could someone nicely tell me?

3. Why weren't I informed about this?
Damn, this must've come last night.
Because only now I noticed the noticer.

 

[Oziris]

Debode, I didn't add the two parties yet. First I'm going to make the surrounding and then the 2 Godzillas that made all that mess.


OffGraphic,
1. Anything you like, re-make, copy, invent...
2. Around 30 days probably.
3. You should be more active then.

 

[Deolrin]

Ah, then I guess the civilian and military corpses and wrecks will come later, too...?

 

[Oziris]

Nah, they all perished. As you see there are some police cars left. I'll maybe add some helicopters flying around like flies.

 

[Deolrin]

But meh, then it's not so much 'wargrounds' as it is 'battle' or 'duel'. I think the point is a full-scale war, with lots of casualties and participants. But I don't know. :/

 

[Oziris]

Actually, a lot of people here are aiming for after battle terrains so you won't see much action, only destroyed stuff. A battlefield is an area where something or someone is fighting. It doesn't have to mean an army vs another army.

 

[Deolrin]

It says the in the description that it must depict a battlefield during or after two parties fighting, so at the very least two people versus two people.

 

[Oziris]

That's because the first thing you imagine when you hear battlefield is "Two armies fighting each other" or "After a war" I'm just brining something new to the Battlefield, An arena for example can be a battlefield, it's a field where battles are being arranged.
Morbid approved my idea and said it was okay. Anyway I can simply say that there were parties of Godzillas and that only 2 are left alive. >.>

 

[Deolrin]

Meh, whatever. I just don't think that's the concept of Wargrounds. I mean, when I think of a warground(or a battlefield, seeing how they are mostly synonyms), I think of a huge open space(or a city) filled with corpses and warriors fighting(or just corpses).

story:nagas was running from humans,they soon found a place to hide in,hoping that the humans would not find them,unforunately for them...,3 years pass and the humans found the nagas
---------------------------------------
yeah,i am making the hideout and may i ask if i can make a before the battle
or must i make a :in a battle,after a battle
??

 

[Deolrin]

The first post says that it must be either during or after a battle. :|

 

[darkzxx]

okay then,i just have to change some pitch angles

 

[Sheephunter]

This time im in!

And something I can do wile i que for the servers in wow >.>

 

[Celaquil]

The first post says that it must be either during or after a battle. :|

On that note I would like to voice that I disagree about that. Personally, if I were to do anything, I would do the before the battle, that moment where two forces is about to clash together, the intensity in the air, the hatred between the leaders. The readymaking, the lining up and all that follows..

I can't see why this shouldn't be allowed, maybe it's just a misinterperation from M0rbids side, or maybe he states that the "before battle" is a part of the "in battle" sequence, I dont know.
I would like to see it changed, though.

 

[Deolrin]

Yeah, I believe you are right, but it's definitely not about making a camp that is preparing for a battle that might or might not happen in like 5 hours from now. As in, just the camp with the people and that's it.

 

[M0rbid]

I actually included a before battle in the during battle part, for example in medeieval battles, it took days until the fighting itself begun, however it was still the battle itself.
So if you show both parties in camps facing each other, that's fine aswell, but not them traveling to the warground or something like that.

About Oziris idea: I think the idea is fine, as long as those creatures fighting against each other are big enough, creating a battlefield by this, which I can see in Oziris picture so far. Only two humans fighting each other would hardly create a battlefield though.

About the triggering and camera stuff, I added a rule to the first post.

 

[darkzxx]

oh good,so i have to build the hideout,and put the boats and then i will keep trying the lightings then i am done,i believe i do not need water reflections for the tree

 

[Oziris]

Yeap, they are pretty much big, like that white building.

 

[darkzxx]

hey oziris,i have one question
does a normal city has a MRT track coming out right at it's "stomach"?

 

[Oziris]

Stomach?
Also it's not a normal city, it's my city, in my world/head.

 

[darkzxx]

stomach as in the middle of the building
your city...okay i get it

 

[Oziris]

It's not coming out of the building, it crashed into the building >.>

 

[Dr. House]

All custom models on hive are allowed i supose?

 

[Oziris]

and Wc3C and other sites as long as you put a link to where you downloaded the model.

 

[M0rbid]

• Map may consist of any resource as long a it is public and not ripped or stolen
• Unless a used resource belongs to either hiveworkshop or Wc3 Campaigns, a link to the used resources must be provided.

Contest rules - in reading we trust.

 

[Dr. House]

Alright thanks both of you (Yes it seems like i was lazy to read the text sorry )

 

[Fallast]

I'm in.I think i will do some sort of warhammer 40K battle

PS

Did someone can tell me if this model is ripped or not ?
and if we unlimited is autorized

 

[Midnighters]

Most, if not All of IronMaidens W40K Models have ripped textures.

story:nagas was running from humans,they soon found a place to hide in,hoping that the humans would not find them,unforunately for them...,3 years pass and the humans found the nagas
---------------------------------------
yeah,i am making the hideout and may i ask if i can make a before the battle
or must i make a :in a battle,after a battle
??

Also, I love how you are basically doing my theme -__-

 

[Celaquil]

Is there a special rule against ripped models for the terraining contest?
- I'd like only M0rbid to answer this question.

 

[M0rbid]

Yes, I included it in the first post.

 

[Oziris]

I don't see why it's forbidden at all to use ripped textures, the map won't be used and it cant be playable, it's only art. But I don't care.

 

[Midnighters]

Ripped textures is against the rules. As well, most game companies have rules in their ToU that says not to do so.

 

[-Kobas-]

I got wonderful idea, 2 bad that there is no models that would help me
Will try to create picture with normal ones and if I fail I will judge this contest ^^'

 

[Bloodbath]

can i do the terrain for the picture in the thread title?

 

[Oziris]

You can do anything you like. =P

 

[Skycraft]

Ignore this post, because I have regained my confidence!

 

[Midnighters]

I think the same, but I am going to damn well try.

 

[M0rbid]

I am going to resign from this contest, because I do not believe I am skillful or qualified enough to challenge other members.

This is seriously not a good reason. A contest is not only to win, but to improve yourself and get to the point where your current limit is and extent it.
Getting the motivation of a contest can do this!

 

[Vizel]

Only two humans fighting each other would hardly create a battlefield though.

I would like to argue this point.
What if the two people were using Bio-weapons, or potent explosives?
Or if they were some kind of demi-god-ish being, surpassing a normal human?

The first I (personally) would warrant would be enough to call it a battlefield (as long as it's a large enough area, that is), whereas the second point kind of goes along the same lines as the Godzilla thing.

 

[Bloodbath]

it would be nice if i can get 3rd place.hehe i just want that cool icon

 

[Tamerleine]

it would be nice if i can get 3rd place.hehe i just want that cool icon

you've gotta work hard for it

 

[Azharr]

where do we submit the screenshot?

 

[Tamerleine]

can my entry be a cinematic?
where you will just sit still and view the terrain with cinematic cameras

 

[L2love]

No it cannot there is a reason why it's called a "Terrain contest" and there is a cinematic contest genre anyways.

 

[darkzxx]

Midnighters,you can't blame me,there are very few to choose and naga vs human was the easiest

 

[Bloodbath]

human dont fight with nagas they fight orcs..nagas fight night elves

 

[VeljkoM]

So in the second Orc TFT mission nagas were just visiting humans. And besides we can chose what ever we want.

 

[darkzxx]

yep,naga and human is easy
