No!
----------
Ok... Except you did anyway? What was the outright rejection for?
I just realized that I've been viewing it on a half-screen this whole time, meaning the "1" and the "0" were split on different lines. I still don't think it would be remiss to shove it down a line for us tiny-screen-ers, but it's not so imperative now.
----------
I will fix it but the rule will not be applied in this contest due to the nature of Mythology since this is your interpretation of the chosen mythology
----------
Yeah, I'm still not sure I follow. But here's the point; you have a Contest Rule which directly contradicts a Contest Criteria. Specifically, the Judging Criteria labeled "Theme" for a full 10 points which reads in part, "How well the various elements of the Faction ... fit together in... the chosen Contest Theme." Literally, we are having people judged & awarded/withheld points based on how well they fit the Contest Theme & the Theme they chose... And the one Rule that talks about that, you essentially negated.
Do you see the issue here?
----------
1-You will need to play with the race, period
----------
...Yeah, ok, sure. What does that mean? I wasn't planning on not playing it, if only to make sure it's play-able... But how does this respond to the whole "several" and "terrain pictures" thing??
----------
2-"w3x" is the contest format
----------
".w3x" is a file format; technically, it's just an extension which denotes a format. What I'm talking about is a standardized (important) formatting standard for the naming of the file itself (in this case, a Contest entry), and provided some salient suggestions.
----------
3-That style of naming is what will be used for the contest but it's too late to change the name of the template
----------
#1) It is not. There are still a few months to go & people will join late. Besides, #2 & #3 point out that people will be re-naming it anyway, so changing the name of the "base download map" doesn't matter.
#2) Even if it was too late, it doesn't matter; people literally have to rename it, if only because they want to put version numbers or their name/race on theirs. More importantly, this must be so so that when all are downloaded they don't all still have the same name.
#3) As I said, I literally could not even test my map without changing (shortening, mainly) the name, so I'm sorry but that's what had to happen (at least for me & probably for others).
----------
I don't know. sorry.
----------
Well... If you don't know, you can find out pretty easily? And if it isn't, ignore me; if it is, remove it?
----------
It's either to replace a vanilla tavern hero\Mercenary unit with a new one due to your race having the same hero\unit
----------
Woah, wait, so we can use existing stuff in our race? Like even so far as to wholesale 'yoink' an existing Tavern hero & put it into ours?? What's the point of that?
I'm not even sure what mythological race could use one of the Tavern heroes/mercenary units, to be honest. But if it could, it seems like it would be cheating somehow.
----------
It's useful
Somehow

Oh, um... Thanks. : / What's with the sarcasm?
