Melee Map Contest

[-Kobas-]

Well guys I saw a lot submissions about mapping contest, paired contest, cinematic and so on!

Why not to create melee map contest!
This way even new users can try to make something!

So what you think, no triggers, no imports, no object editor work...

Still few things to care:
1st. Map size not below "Large" (examples: 192x192, 224x128, or above)
2nd. 8 or more players

Everything else is picked and created using user imagination!

I can judge and host contest! I just need more ideas, suggestions and so on...
So what you guys think?

Why not make a 1v1 map? I'd hate to do the careful planning and balance of an 8-player map... that'd take weeks, maybe even months.

Because anyone ca make 1v1 map
This way we remove lazy makers from contest

Here lies the problem...

I say no imports or triggers, a male map shouldn't have those.

Object editing should be allowed IMO if not, then we are basically making a terrain map. And isn't this contest similar to the Techtree Contest? What would be the difference?

Object editor can be allowed if you want, point was to create contest where will users tried to create melee (blizzard like) maps

A melee map contest is useless, as I've realized that melee maps do not have any diversity. That is a reason why melee map sucks.

The difference is that you're not making a new tech-tree. You're making a melee map. I don't think the title could be anymore clear or obvious as to this.

How about altered melee?
You design the terrain and input a different feel from the regular melee maps.

Just a suggestion.

We already have something like that, Techtree Contest #4 has begun!

When I meant altered melee, it could range anywhere from random events to optional races (like Monolith) to new tavern heroes.
You could also do something like "respawnable creeps", anything that alters it from a normal melee map.
