[duyen]

Race Contest​

What?!?! A race contest? That's right! A race contest (Like Nightelf, Undead, Orc, Human Etc...). The basis of this is you must create a race that fits the requirements.

Your race MUST have:

-A Main structure (Town Hall) That upgrades two times

-A building that can only be built once you upgraded your racial equivalent of a town hall 2 times

-Over 5 different combat units

-All custom abilities

-Over 7 "upgrades"

-Custom Hero(s)

-An Altar

-A builder unit

-A defensive tower-ish structure (I'm not picky)

-A souce of food

Grading​

60 Points - Meets the Requirements. Does it specify the rules given?

20 Points - Creativeness. Are the heros and abilities creative? Are they appealing?

10 Points - Leaks. Is the code leakless?

10 Points - Choice of Art. Is your overall models, icons, special effects appealing to the eye?

1st Prize: Reputation from me, and anybody else. (Would be glad if people volunteered to rep winner.)

What's a race? Are there units racing, or is it a race to see how fast you can finish a map...?

 

[Naminator]

But in 7 days..? It would be much better if you give an extra week. More people would join and be ready at the dead line.

No Ghan. A race contest. Creating a race..Like Orcs, humans and other staff.

 

[duyen]

Ghan, it's a unit race like night elf, undead, human, orc. I thought I made it rather obvious but I'll fix it.

 

[Ghan]

Aha. I was thinking some type of cart racing like the Azeroth Grand Prix.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

Mario cart, thats a great game.

Anyhow, are you signing up?

EDIT: Moved Deadline to the 10th

 

[Darkchaoself]

Race? Thats a bit...tough, for 1 week, should be around 2- 2 1/2

 

[0zaru]

me too... but ONLY A WEEK ? ... with all custom heros, abilities come on... give us at least 2 weeks =/

 

[Naminator]

Like I said before. 1 week it's not enough.

 

[duyen]

I added extra 5 days, and are you signing up?

 

[Ghan]

Just so you're not wondering, I will decline.

I've never been really good a dreaming stuff up when pressed. I can sometimes do it if I'm just playing around with something.

One spell for a Spell Contest? Ok, I can do that.

But an entire RACE? No, I don't really want the challenge.

Not a slight to you, just me.

 

[duyen]

Err, incase people got a false lead, not ALL spells have to be made with code... A lot of them you can do with object editor by just making custom tooltips, buffs, Projectile effects.

OFFTOPIC: What is your avatar Ghan, I can't tell...

 

[Naminator]

Maybe not ALL spells has to be custom.

PS: Ghan avatar is Legolas

 

[Sim]

Not enough time. Increase the deadline due-date.
4 Custom heroes + 5 units + abilities for everyone + numerous buildings + techs + models?

Make it end near the end of September, at least.

Definatley with the new "site being down for four days" thing.

 

[U are a noob]

Lollercaust.
You expect people to finish a full race in 14 days?. Some people can barely finish a custom spell in 2 week. And your expecting 16 from them... Not the mention all the balancing needed to be done on units. For a contest like this your gonna need to give more time. I'll see if this contest gets accept before I add to the index.

 

[Ghan]

Give people more time.

Or else.

How about a poll?
Let people vote on the end date, perhaps?
I'm confident people can be reasonable about the date, especially when you define the options.

 

[Sim]

I'll suggest the 30th of September. Last day of the month.

That gives a month (Counting the downtime) to the person who wants to create a balanced, polished race.

 

[duyen]

Err, how to I add a poll to an existing thread?

 

[Ghan]

Thread Tools at the top should do it.

If not, I can do it for you.
