The question speaks it self.

The 3rd melee contest should have theme?

Yes or No?


If yes wich?

I set options that I know they can be done with WC3 Presets. (For those who want to have all presets to reach Blizzard).

You can propose another option and I can edit the poll and add that option to the poll. (the option should be made with wc3 presets, things like custom tiles or alpha tiles, a sci fi enviroment, I think it won´t do)

You can vote 5 categories.

You can change your vote anytime.

All of these themes have a very niche aesthetic associated with them, and combined with the fact that imports won't be allowed, I think the majority of the entries will look virtually the same. Therefore, I vote for no theme.

You can use imports if you want, but it would be ideal that the theme can be done without them too.

I thought the whole idea of the contest was to have no imports so the maps are compatible (look good) on Warcraft III Reforged.

I think a player number restriction is a better 'theme' than a visual theme. 1v1 worked fine for the last contest and there was a lot of variety in entries. Just pick some NvN or N-FFA. (yes I'm aware of the other poll thread)

Voted for "NO THEME" one. Arbitrary restrictions will not help in making of quality maps. Also what Blood Raven said.

Thats if you want to reach Blizzard, if you don´t want to, you can use imported materials (and or delete them later).
In my 1vs1 map I wanted to use imported material to make honor the Hive-models. Is up to you what do you want.
But if someone wish to reach Blizzard she/he should have freedom to do it, so it could be done with wc3 presets.

number of players is mandatory, if the category is 6 players FFA you can´t do a 2vs2, or a 1vs1, that is automatically balance score 0.

theme is subjetive, if a theme is fire, you can do:
- burning villages.
-volcanoes.
- fire temples
- dark souls fire (small fires in rocks)
-lava rivers
-things with blue fire

An user can do something big with fire in 1 place, or a lot of small things disperesed over all the map

not following the theme, I mean not puting nothing of fire, is just a very low loss of enviroment score, but the map can win in balance.

I am just explaining the thing:, this is the first time that a poll with theme options is done in melee like terraining contest, music contest and others.
I agree that I like 100% freedom to everybody, but theme based topic was in the air in the 2nd contest too.


I can´t participate, so I am not going to vote.
