Oh, and for the "controls no other units", I'm going to guess that summons Charm, Resurrection, ect. are allowed?

Yea summoned units are allowed.

Mine and Fibians map is 80% compleat all we have to do is make 8 more heros for the ferst release. Also are we aloud to protect it or do you have to see the triggers. also we never made a rpg.

Well you can release a protected version if you want, but you will have to send me an unprotected version so I can look at the map.

Bob27, while talking about this on chat I discovered you have not clearly defined what a "hero" is. As it can be interpreted literly meaning the main "good guy" of a story or in the WC3/gaming terms as an object that can level up and by doing so increases in power.

The reason this has to be defined is people like pyritie are pushing it to its limate by using what can only be described in WC3 terms as a "unit" (no leveling up or increasing in power) rather than a "hero". This may cause some unexpected map submissions unless it is cleared up.

Anyway good luck with the compitition.

Lf partner, I have an idea for a roman gladiator map. If I cant find one Ill just pair with Darkholme.

Sorry dude I can't. I have 2 projects already, and all of april is filled with university exams. I don't have time for a map making contest on top of my other stuff..

Plus I have a painting due on the 7th, a 12 page essay due monday, and I need to sew my cosplay for anime north at the end of may (after creating the pattern and all that other stuff). It's all stuff I can do within a month, but with all the stuff I have to do + my girlfriend, I just don't have time for this contest.

I looked at the competition when it first went up and thought it would be fun, but I'm too busy.

It's a hero. Hero is like a unit type. Just because it has the power to level up doesn't mean you have to make it level up.

Pushing the limits and fishing for votes with a concept like that - looking good!

Does the hero have to have any "abilites" per se?

Because the only "ability" ours has is the "ability" to make portals :3

Sounds like a really interesting "hero" by the way.

You have to upload the map (click the Go Advanced button below the post box thing).

And no you cannot submit it after the deadline. That's what the deadline is for. You can, however submit it before the deadline.

If it's me you're replying to; didn't mean that we would submit it after deadline, just that we'd try to get finished before deadline. If we won't be, we'd obviously not enter. Just that we got way too many ideas, so we have to eliminate some. S'what take time, y'know?

One day ago(when i posted my post^^) eWs.SGMM my IRL friend told me about this contest and we have worked before on maps so he asked me if we could work and in school(We are only 15) we registrered on the hive and he thought that he were posting from his account =/

Sorry for the trouble Pyritie and everyone else!

I started making a map about a week after this contest started and didn't know of it and now I see it and really wanna join. Can I if: I did start the map after the contest started without a partner on the requested theme (Hero Arena)? Cause I'd really love to.

Please pm me if I am still allowed to join the contest.
If anyone wants to be my Partner (and if i can still join) pm me.

Here is a bit information about the map:
Name: Advanced Wars
Type: PvP Hero Arena
Theme: Modern Warfare in Arctic Tileset
Description: 2 Teams battle it out in several Arenas. Pick from a class, get your team ready and go! Battle in different Arenas ranging from Deathmatch over Gun Control to Capture The Flag to win. Teamwork is the key!

At the moment I've only created 6 classes, 20 items, 3 arenas and the game can be played but needs a lot of refining. So If you wanna join me pm me!

Ok thanks for the delay everyone, I've been away for the last week.

Ok well I would say the heroes have to have at least 3 abilities, must have some way of being able to improve itself (doesn't have to be leveling up), and it has to be an actual hero unit type.

It's a hero. Hero is like a unit type. Just because it has the power to level up doesn't mean you have to make it level up.

Yea it doesn't have to level it up, but you should add some way of the hero being able to improve itself.

Aw damn.Do we have to get a partner?Or is it possible to do the map ourselves?

Yes you will have to be in a pair to enter this contest.

Me and eWs.Azure, that means:

User 1: eWs.SGMM
User 2: eWs.Azure

Map Name: Unknown atm
Type: AOS

:) :)

Sorry :cry:

Well I need to know that you are two different people, so you will need to try and prove it. Maybe try making a post each at the same time, when your at home.

k um yea i whana say i am out i couldn't find a new partner so remove me and Fibian sob. Dam i hate this. Also i am wondering if i can start my own map making contest where i am the juge and i deside what tipe of map there is to make.

You will need to make a post in the Contest Submission forum then.

Do the abilities themselves have to be improved or can it be other things like increasing jump distance or portal creation speed, for example?

Basiclly as long as the hero itself can improve itself it should be fine, so since i'm pretty sure your map focuses on these portals, then it should be fine to be able to improve on jump distance and creation speed.

Yes, me and Gilles join, i will talk with him when he gets on next time.

Ok Added you to the contestants list.

hey ill join, my lil brother and i will join the contest. Sign us up ^_^ xXkyXx + SofaKingGood Vorpal Arena

Sorry, but I would prefer that family pairs did not enter the contest, as it is to hard to figure out whether or not it is a pair or just a single person.
