Tower Contest - 4 Times the Fun
Welcome back! Over a year ago we last saw one of these beloved contests. And it's back for some more fun and games! So let's get to it!
Welcome back! Over a year ago we last saw one of these beloved contests. And it's back for some more fun and games! So let's get to it!
- The Theme
The theme, as it has always been, is fairly open. Arrow Towers have long since been banned from any threads to do with the Tower Contest. That's pretty much it. Make it creative, and eye candy is good to have. - The Rules
There will be some rules here, so listen up!
- Your tower must be unique to the contest. In other words, it must have been created specifically for this contest.
- Imported icons, models, and whatever are fine for use.
- Code may be done either in GUI or JASS. Systems such as a Casting System and vJASS are fine to use.
- Please include importation instructions with your tower.
- I will create a testing map that will be posted in this post. Please use this map when submitting.
- Your tower may upgrade. However, having tons of tiers will not get you any more favor. So don't be silly about it.
- You may have more than one tower if both towers must work together to produce the effect. I would rather not see a second tower that simply increases the damage of the other or something like that.

- The Rewards
Ah, yes. The rewards. We certainly want to make sure that those who come out on top get a judicious amount of rep, don't we?
Here's the breakdown:
1st Place - 20 rep
2nd Place - 15 rep
3rd Place - 10 rep
And anyone else who wants to give rep will certainly be welcome to do so.
- Anything Else
The due date of the contest is below.
The judging will be done solely by me, Ghan_04. I will award points based on several categories where may earn points. These categories are as follows:
Tower Art
How nice does your tower look? Does it have anything attached to the model that applies? Is it the right size? Would it fit in with other towers nicely?
Points Possible: 10
Special Effects
What do the projectiles look like? If it doesn't use projectiles, what kinds of eye candy does it have? What do its abilities look like when used? Is it noticeable?
Points Possible: 10
Adhereance to Theme
Does your tower fit the contest? Would it be applicable in a Tower Defense map? Is it innovative? Does it incorporate new ideas that have never been seen before?
Points Possible: 20
Coding Efficiency
Do your tower's trigger-enhanced abilities work as intended? Are all the leaks eliminated? Is it done in the best way possible? Are there any errors?
Points Possible: 40
Balance
Does your tower have the right amount of power? Is it not just an "ownage device"? Is it actually viable in a TD map?
Points Possible: 10
Implementation
Is it easy to incorporate your tower into a map? Could the common sea slug follow your instructions?
Points Possible: 10
Total Points Possible: 100
