Inviting your friends to vote for you, bribing random members with rep and otherwise cheating with the VB poll system will get you DISQUALIFIED, BANNED from future contests, -REPPED, and possibly INFRACTED. So don't do it!

This includes, but is not limited to, sending PMs out to various users, getting other people to send those PMs, advertising this contest on other sites with the intention to gain more votes (whether it is explicitly stated or not), and so on. If you are suspected of cheating, the staff will notify you and interrogate you (hopefully) over PMs.​

 

[Phoonix]

My vote goes to Cloudwolf. His terrain is just awesome, it really has that extra "touch" that makes you think it is a battle.

 

[L2love]

My vote goes for cloudwolf his just has the best battlefield aura in the whole group.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

And my vote goes to Oziris.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

I vote for sPy, I like his, the explosions, the fire, the guy whirlwinding and kicking some arse.

 

[Tleno]

Erm are you supposed to ba able to vote for more than one contestant? Seems a bit wrong...

 

[Tleno]

I vote for CloudWolf too. Oziris got the one of best terrains from all, but CloudWolf gives a more battleish feel of battle.

 

[Apocalyptic]

And my vote goes to Oziris.

This.

 

[M0rbid]

Erm are you supposed to ba able to vote for more than one contestant? Seems a bit wrong...

Yes I decided to make this a multiple vote poll, since I considered it would be fair seeing we got 30 submissions. However you can of course only vote for one entry aswell.

 

[Tleno]

Damn. I wanted to vote for both Oziris and CloudWolf then... othwerwise I could have also supported my friend Phoonix, but whatever, I'm happy for who I voted and he's the one who I want to be the winner, so good luck CloudWolf!

 

[M0rbid]

Well, please everyone note, that this multiple poll option is not an option to support your friend or something, it does not mean that the rules of the first posts are changed in any way.

 

[fladdermasken]

Pfft, not one signle vote for Keiji yet. Allow me to change this, as his was definitely the best entry as far as I'm concerned :3

 

[VegaKotes]

Cloudwolf without a doubt
Oh how pitiful mine looks in comparison to all these :3
but it was fun to make, so I consider this a victory! haha

 

[Deolrin]

Awesome job guys, this contest was a huge success!
I voted for fladdermasken, sPy, CloudWolf, idodik, Keiji and Sheephunter, in my opinion, their terrains look the best. (But that doesn't mean the rest look bad!)

 

[Oziris]

Uh, this is going to be hard. I am thinking between Keiji and CW.

Btw, biggest poll ever! ^^

 

[Dr. House]

M0rbid i had no time to finish my current state of the terrain so the entry you entered is for the wip if you do not mind please remove it. Sorry for the extra work btw.

Edit: My vote go's to Oziris (epic terrain what else can i say )

 

[Oziris]

Thanks for the vote people ^^
Btw, why doesn't the poll show under "Notices" ? It would bring more people to vote.

 

[Skycraft]

You all did beautiful work and you are all winners But regardless, gotta vote.

My votes go to -
CloudWolf, Oziris, Tamerleine, idodik, VegaKotes and Sheephunter.
In my opinion they captured the best idea of what a battlefield is aimed to represent

 

[Wolfe]

My vote goes to Oz, but I didn't read before I voted, because otherwise I would've voted for CloudWolf, Keiji and Fladdermasken as well. Oh well. Good luck to you all.

 

[indomitable1319]

asdfghjkl D:
So many entries.

 

[Tamerleine]

My vote goes to Cloudwolf

 

[idodik]

fladdermasken, Oziris, CloudWolf, johannesr, CoBrA b, Azurot, chilla_killa, Keiji, Raven0, and Sheephunter were my choices. Great job everyone!
EDIT: Looks like I chose a lot... Is this legal? :\

 

[Tleno]

Yes, voting for lots of users is not wrong. Making others vote for you or someway alse abusing vote system is ilegal.

 

[M0rbid]

The only thing you should consider is, the more you vote, the less important and deciding, the less valuable your vote gets

 

[PROXY]

I voted for indomitable, as I just liked his style of creating a battle that "got out of control". johannesr, Fruutz and some others would have been other choices. But I decided to vote just for one person.

 

[Cihparg]

function rollForContestant takes nothing returns nothing
Dice = 1d100

if ( Dice > 50 ) {
target('SheepHunter')
} else {
target(Azurot')
}

voteFor( target() )
endfunction

• Custom Script: call rollForContestant()
• // Roll finished, result 43 - apply vote for Azurot

 

[Ganondorf]

I voted for Cloudwolf and Cobra_b... Both exceptional terrains among the rest (for me, at least). My definite fave would be Cloudwolf, but cobra_b did a nice job as well. Love that Castle-in-the-background detail.

 

[indomitable1319]

Someone voted for me! Yay!

 

[VegaKotes]

CloudWolf, Oziris, Tamerleine, idodik, VegaKotes and Sheephunter.

aww...thanks haha

 

[CloudWolf]

Good luck to everyone!

 

[Vengeancekael]

Damn you Oziris, that's too good.
Voted for CW, fladdermasken and Oziris. I COULDN'T DECIDE GET OFF MY BACK

 

[Tleno]

Kinda ironuic the poll was announced just now...

 

[MortAr]

And my vote goes to Oziris.

So is mine.

 

[Lich Prince]

All of these entries deserve my votes.

Have fun judging M0rbz.

 

[Oziris]

All of these entries deserve my votes.

Have fun judging M0rbz.

Lol.

When does the poll end?

 

[M0rbid]

I let it open a month, so the judges have some more time to judge, cause 30 entries is no knickknack. Letting the poll open for one month will grant the chance of the results coming in directly after it closes.

 

[Chizume]

So many cool and innovative submissions; too many to comment them all. Still my three votes go to CloudWolf's action packed castle siege, fladdermasken's calm before the storm and CoBrA b's magical fairytale.

 

[Sage Chow]

Tough choice! In my opinion Indomitable, Cloudwolf and, to a lesser extent, Tamerleine captured the essence of a battlefield without making it look too messy. Secondly, they did this without losing a lot of action that comes with the theme.
I got a sence of excitment in the works of Oziris and Cobra B, paired with a good sence of depth (eg the castle in the back ground etc). The same thing goes for Keiji's where the mysterious fog, the tanks, the dragon and night create a sence of mystery. I also loved the crazyness of fladdermaskens terrain, but I feel that it doesn't live up to the theme of the contest. So I'll just +rep for that now.
I really liked phoonix's WIP, but I don't feel that the night and fog did it a lot of good. The result is a bit blurry and I liked the old version because it felt more like a 18th century painting.

So I'll vote for Cloudwolf for the theme and for oziris for the atmosphere.

 

[nickel510]

Oziris all the way. I think Cloudwolf's is the best battlefield between 2 armies, but Oziris' looks like a freakin' battlefield all the way, who says a battlefield has to be between armies? Two huge titans tore that city apart, and it's epic.

You're welcome! Seeing al the entries I got inspired to make a terrain myself. I'll guess i'll keep my idea for the next competition

 

[Adiktuz]

I vote for Oziris and Cloudwolf. ^_^

 

[HD888]

fladdermasken gets my vote cause the terain is so epic and has a fricken awesome background with some robot model i never seen

 

[Pinachet]

fladdermasken and Oziris - those are 2 amazing works, where the action feels great and nice suitable models come with some great terrain
Just awesome.

 

[Matthewop]

My vote goes for cloudwolf..That's it!

 

[Piwlady]

I really liked Oziris's, CloudWolf's and Cobra_b's entries, just very damn nice looking pics. But I guess the vote goes to Oziris

 

[Tamerleine]

thanks for the vote

I'm no terrainer so keep that in mind while reading my comments. My top 6 were the following:

fladdenmasken:
I like the tiles and doodad placement. The colour theme is coherent, it gives a very bleak mood. Really fitting with the industrial vibe. However maybe there's a slight lack of combat.

Oziris:
A lot of detail to rest your eyes on. The city continues nicely on the background, you can see buildings and other stuff there. Two giant elementals wreaking havoc just looks cool. They're grabbing buildings which adds to their impressiveness. However I don't like the fact they are hitting each other's fists. It doesn't look like they are trying to punch to the face or chest for example. I think they should be leaning towards each other slightly when trying to land a poweful blow.

Cloudwolf:
Now this is definitely a battlefield. Arrwows and burning boulders flying around, a very chaotic feeling which is a positive fact. The footmen flying due to being hit is a great touch. So are the trebuchets caught in mid-firing animation. The time of day adds to the athmosphere, the fog/sky is nice. I think the moon is glowing too much and the pic lacks the high-res feeling that some other contestants managed to capture. I see too many jagged edges, the pic could benefit from anti-aliasing.

johannesr:
This looks ligh a high quality pic. I remember seeing this pic at it's infant stages and thgough nothing of it, now it's really great. The tile set chosen in good and the tiles are placed well. The sand worms look menacing and it's good to see them in different phases of their animations. The blood effects on the works are good bonus. I do get the feeling of being in another planet. You could've added some weapon projectiles and maybe a marine throwing a grenade, shooting a bazooka or firing with a plasma weapon.

chilla_killa:
Good looking pic. Instantly one of my favourites. I think you could've done a better job with the rocks, like changed their size or applied some ctrl + Page Down on some of them.

Keiji:
Initially I didn't really like it when seeing some WIPs. However I must say that this is really good terraining and I do like it a lot now. The trees look fantastic. Good placement and variation, the models and textures are sweet. The green pollutin with the mist loos great and the fog is lovely. The cogs on top of the barrel, leaning the barrel and on the fence, love 'em. The theme is somehow not appealing to me by 100%. I'd like to see some meat wagon projectile, or tanks muzzle flash...something more, more combat.

 

[Tleno]

Not bad, I got support higher than average, maybe I have no chance to settling into top-3, but at least I don't have any shamefully low results.

 

[Goffterdom]

1. Cloudwolf: Just epic. Could have used another model for the footman but np, still epic. Arrows are raining, fireballs are deadly, moon is shining over the bloody fight, the king is enpowering his troops. Again, just epic battlefield.

2. Oziris: Epic again. Clash of the titans, lots of details, very well made titans. Atmosphere and all is well done. Only thing that didnt catch my vote is the fact that there are two monsters fighting, this is not really what I expected from a "Battlefield".
