I know the answer. This was a pretty easy one, koontz - if it is what I think it is.

I think I know it too (: I'd guess some numbers if I could 8-[ , but since koontz said only letters, I'll go with an F (or two!).

Week 2

We are in week two now. Lots has gone on this past week, and lots more to come. A new competition in post 2, a new poll to be voted on.

Here are the results for the first competition.
swifte 17 points =D> =D> =D>
[spoiler=people who came for Swifte]marpesia, dakky21, cooldeals, BGtheBrain, trinicardinal, NoSurvivors, Hardattack[/spoiler]
Gilligan 4 points
kingrat, ben1212, Dillybarr, plurple, chapcrap - 2 points each.

For our second competition, we are going to look into the future. :lol:

...............................What Can I Say?
Every map that gets made, a small description needs to be written. This is what was written for Rorke's Drift.
Map Description wrote:January 1879, around 4500 Zulu warriors attacked the tiny outpost of Rorke's Drift. Under the command of Chard and Bromhead, around 130 British and 20 Natal regulars defended the outpost for 2 whole days before relief.

Below, you will find 4 descriptions for 4 different maps at different stages of map making.
You will find the maps in the
drafting room, main foundry and beta map forums. All you need to do is go hunting for which map is being described. Then when you have the four maps, send the names of them to me ([player]koontz1973[/player]) via PM.

Map 1
Battle for HIGH GROUND! Auto-deploy bonuses which increase as players conquer higher ground; higher levels bombard lower levels. The summit is the only territory that can kill starting spots.
Map 2
Set of on your travels, exploring the furthest regions. Explore unknown lands with famous explorers. But watch out for monsters swim in the waters.
Map 3
This is a simple map, in some ways similar to route 66, where the win objective is to hold the route. Its based on real life, but I have added a few stations and connections that would/could be built in the future.
Map 4
This map incorporates resource collection (4 weapons), build-a-bonus (Capitals), auto-deploy territories, gameplay from standard CC maps, and continues the series style including two "free-for-all" regions.

[spoiler=rules]Please read through all rules.
  • No posting answers into the thread.
  • Send all answers to me [player]koontz1973[/player] via PM.
  • Answers to me by this time
  • At the end of the competition, all correct answers will be entered into a random draw (Random.org) to determine the winner of the GA medal.

Disclaimer: Maps can be moved by the foundry personal at any time. So a map can go from the drafting room to the main foundry or from beta maps to the recycle bin. This will only be done per normal foundry rules and not to mess with your heads. ;) [/spoiler]

Good luck and have fun. :D

I voted for large size. Because although medium size maps are often the most compelling; I feel like a large map has a lot of potential to be epic.
