Terrain Contest #8 Theme - Poll

[Gilles]

Which theme would you like to see for the next terraining contest?

Diablo - Create a terrain that is similar to an area in one of the Diablo games.

Heaven vs Hell - Create a terrain that depicts the epic battle between heaven and hell. Does not have to include units. Basically a contrast terrain.

Wonders of the World - Create one of the wonders of the world. http://wonderclub.com/AllWorldWonders.html

Steampunk - Pretty obvious. If you don't know what steampunk is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk

Elements - Create a wind, fire, water, and air terrain.

Emotional - Terrain must convey an emotion.

Sorry, no wc2. Still not sure how you'd terrain wc2.

Heaven Vs. Hell for me. Elements, and Emotional have other contests I would rather put them in

~Asomath

 

[Celaquil]

I say Heaven vs Hell. Simply because I think it to be an interesting theme.

 

[Ziggen]

Elements for me.

 

[Belgarath]

Emotional because it is emotional

 

[ZFMGK]

emotional

 

[Gilles]

I find it funny that people were saying to just go with Wonders of the World, and now that there is a poll, it's losing.

 

[Celaquil]

Ironic, isnt it?

 

[Dr. House]

...no comment anyway emotinal is going to be intresting i think.

 

[HFR]

Wonders of the World. Emotional is too... emotional.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Emotional; emotional can be happiness as well, not only love and sorrow.

 

[Dr. House]

i wonder isnt it extremly difficult to make a emotional terrain?

 

[Corexx]

i wonder isnt it extremly difficult to make a emotional terrain?

In fact I still miss a proper definintion of 'emotional' + 'terrain'.
Have no clue what it could be.
A romance scene? a sad burial?

Wonders of the world are pretty cool but too predetermined.
At the end we have several pyramides of Gizeh.

[x] Steampunk.
Open theme, fully load of creativity needed. 8]

 

[Dr. House]

XD why did you say that if we had wonders of the world that whas my idea to make.... damn you anyway ye emotional terrain is a romance scene or somthing like that. (i think)

 

[Celaquil]

Right me if I am wrong, but Emotional again becomes sort of... Like the Mythological theme, you can basically make whatever the hell you want to, and say that it has something to do with a certain feeling or emotion.

 

[HFR]

So, basically you're saying that, if we use this theme, the contest will fail as the Ancient Mythology did?

 

[Gilles]

I don't think mythology failed, except with Voids dumb judging method. Just because the theme is vague, doesn't mean the contest was a failure. We got some amazing terrains from it.

You guys might be right though, having a vague theme isn't exactly great, and emotional is pretty hard to define. I'll think about it.

 

[Restor]

And what is bad about "Global financial crisis" :-D

It failed at the point that people made terrains completely out of the theme. Vague themes do this, that's why Emotions sounds bad for me.

 

[Celaquil]

I didnt say that the theme failed, I'm just saying that it would be the same as saying "Hey, lets do a contest without a theme! Terrain whatever the hell you want to, and may the best one win!"

Now, I dont really have anything against that, in particulare. But people do tend to like a contest to have some sort of boundaries. However... Wonders of the Worlds sounds even more idiotic to me. The whole theme is about mimicing one of 7 possible "wonders" and that instantly means we will have many people terraining the same bloody thing, which will give a boring contest, for my taste.

It can, however, also have something to do with me not liking to have to mimic something that already exists

 

[Dr. House]

for me is going to be hard i mean not the terraining itself i think but to explane the emotion or feeling of the terrain i created and whats behind it. i mean my english isnt that good so explaning whats the feeling or emotion behind it is going to be hard to explane

 

[Gilles]

It failed in that regard, but I wouldn't call the contest a failure.

I didnt say that the theme failed, I'm just saying that it would be the same as saying "Hey, lets do a contest without a theme! Terrain whatever the hell you want to, and may the best one win!"

Which I've realized, and said I would think on it.

Did you not read the description, the other thread, or go to the link? There are far more than 7. They also aren't all buildings, there are natural wonders.

Can't help that.

But of course you would pick this for construction would be a key element in the basic idea of it. And that is obviously your specialty.

 

[Celaquil]

Ah, right. I thought the conclution of the idea of "Wonders of the World" was meant to be the seven originals, I was wrong then. Still dont like the idea of having to terrain from something I am looking at >.>

 

[Gilles]

It doesn't have to be a copy of a picture you know, right?

 

[Belgarath]

If emotional is done, I'd be guessing that the theme will be worth FAR more. Actually managing to convey the emotion, which will be sadness for most people, I predict, will be rather hard.

 

[Gilles]

When I saw 'emotion', instantly this terrain came to mind.

However I think the theme was a poor choice.

 

[Destructor [DoR]]

[X] Steampunk

Steampunkt because there are only a few terrains out that fit these theme. Elements would also be cool, perhaps we get some awesome water terrains.

The problem with emotion terrain is that it can be everything.

 

[Ziggen]

I don't even understand what the fuck steampunk is. o.Ó
Is it like... old industrial technology but much more advanced or something?

 

[Archipelago]

Ill go for elements... But isnt wind and air kinda the same thing?

 

[Ziggen]

It fire, earth, water and air.

 

[Destructor [DoR]]

@Ziggen:

Here are some"Steampunk" terrains^^

 

[Ziggen]

Okay, so it's basically what I thought then. Old technology upgraded like a hundred times?

 

[Destructor [DoR]]

Giant motherships that get fired with coal XD As long there is some steam coming out of it and old pipes everywhere it counts as steampunk

 

[Dr. House]

Emotional and Haven vs hell are both 7

 

[Megafyr]

Steampunk all the way!

 

[syltman]

I have no idea what you could make with a Heaven vs hell,

however if it's a Steampunk theme I might join.

 

[Celaquil]

I didnt really get what Steampunk was in the beginning, yeah I know, thats my own fault. Just wanted to say that if I had been able to re-vote I would go Steampunk.

 

[Sephalo]

As long as it will become wonders, elements or steampunk I'm happy! Not looking forward to another heaven vs hell or good vs bad or black vs white theme it's starting to get unoriginal. And about the emotional theme..

If I terrain something you will instantly become emotional anyway because it's so damn good!!!!!!!

 

[Archipelago]

I would've voted for the steam punk thing if I knew what it was :S

 

[Slaydon]

wonders of the world, Would like to see the great barrier reaf playable 8D

 

[Ziggen]

Steampunk seems to be a very hard theme so I'm not hoping for that one.
Btw I don't even know if I will participate in this contest.

 

[Destructor [DoR]]

Elements could be also very hard. And if you make a water based terrain its getting ten times harder^^

Edit:
Looks like we get another Bad Vs Good contest^^

 

[Gilles]

Like I said, it's more of a contrast terrain. It can be all landscape, and a heavenly landscape could be colliding with a hellish one. I think it could have similar problems it emotional and mythological, but hopefully not as bad.

 

[Megafyr]

Go steam punk! : <

 

[Restor]

Steampunk ftw.

In fact, whole goblin&dwarves&gnoms are steampunk races, so it wouldnt be so hard.

 

[syltman]

Another example of steampunk btw

Big image

 

[Handycombinder]

Voting for da emotional ;D

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Emotional could be great, but eventually its just going to get people puzzled. It's a complicated theme.

 

[Gilles]

If anyone wants to change their vote from emotional to something else, let me know, cus it won't be hosted. My bad, sorry guys.
