0AD Map Making Competition!

[Jubal]

The Council of Modders on the Wildfire Games Forums are organising a mapping competition for the 5th anniversary of 0AD! The aim of Mapping Contest is to create a playable skirmish map that fits in one of the predefined themes. I'll elaborate the requirements further down the announcement.

The theme list for this contest is as following:
1. Northern Highlands:
In the lands where rocks and mountain rule the earth and snow and rain dominate the air, a few remnants of humanity dare to resist the supremacy of the forces of Nature.
2. Ancient Lands:
Once there was a highly civilized kingdom, now only pain and rocks. However, rumors say that great treasures are to be found beyond the walls of this destroyed city.

Hmm, interesting. I think I just got an idea for the next Atheniad. BTW, when will that be?

[Jubal]

Don't know. We've been going on 4-year cycles, so 2016 if we keep that trend. We could do it every 2 years, it's just a lot of work and we don't have the organisational manpower to do it regularly.

[Cuddly Khan]

Oh, OK. I can just do a mini competition I suppose, when I feel like it.

[Jubal]

Run competitions, competitions are good! And even better if I can enter them which rarely happens! 

[Cuddly Khan]

I need judges for this competition. Would you be happy to judge with me?

[Jubal]

If I'm judging I can't enter so I'd rather not, though I'll happily help you find judges.
