StarCraft II Terraining Contest #1 Theme Discussion

[Shar Dundred]

In order to get a few things rolling in our little StarCraft Section, it has been decided to launch
a series of StarCraft II contests - starting with a terraining contest.

Therefore, we're opening this thread to discuss about a fitting theme.

Please share your ideas with us!

Ideas so far:
- Terran Cityscape
- Wastelands
- Protoss City
- Ancient/Xel'Naga Temple
- Zerg Infestation
- Mars Colony
- World Wonders (Gigantic structures)
- Space/Space Station
- StarCraft II Campaign Scene
- Ruins
- Apocalypse

Due to the planned expansion of the StarCraft Section, this contest is planned to have a few
"special" rewards for the winners.
You'll get more details when the contest itself starts.

I can't wait for this!
Like the ideas. Dunno if appropriate. How about terraining a human Mars Colony? It's being talked about these days that we will soon begin a colony on Mars. Imagine how that would look.

 

[Heinvers]

Now this one is admirable.
I think that something like a creationist theme would challenge people to exploit more approaches for sc2 terraining.
Think about this: making an infinite power point that pulses into expanse or something like a domed habitat to give a dying universe a chance at life even if it is the last breath of it.

Think about World Wonders, not just a Xel'Naga temple idea.
One could always bring into emphasis even a modern gigantic or intricate structure that dominates the surroundings to attention through a series of cool expansions and/or plazas.

The ideas are limitless, really.

That was the main idea behind this

I like the idea of an Ancient/Xel'Naga Temple

@Ralle and @Heinvers: Added!

@Heinvers: I hope I used the right words to describe your suggestion.

How about a space themed map? Not necessarily a space map, but something more like Templar's Charge.

 

[Tleno]

What about "SC2 Campaign scene" contest where you have to recreate one of SC2 mission/story locations, as your own interpretation of course?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I think the problem with that theme would be, though, that it would mean you could create
EVERYTHING from Korhal to an icecold winter area or a lava planet.

How's that bad?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I thought it'd make judging too complicated, but I'll add it to the list later.

Hmm, interesting, so the SC2 section is being expanded huh.., The current themes seem quite interesting. What I was thinking of is a destroyed city that's getting "claimed" by nature again maybe? Gah, can't formulate it properly ._.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Updated first post.
Decided to call it simply "Ruins".

Decided to call it simply "Ruins"

... That's ... huh, I am quite stupid not to realize that. Welp, happens.

 

[Heinvers]

Apocalypse. Think of Typhoon, the planet that got showered with sun radiation and then got nova-ed by the star.
Just an example. It could also be something that's in a decaying orbit(space platform, crashing ship, moon on a crash course).

The examples could go on.

 

[Shar Dundred]

A few more days to suggest stuff, people, then it'll be poll time!

 

[Shar Dundred]

Poll is up!
