Subject: World Cities Contest: Phase One
Not too long ago I posted a thread discussing the possibilities of making maps of the cities depicted in the Classic map. So, we're going to run a contest to make this a reality. There will be two parts, gameplay and graphics. Gameplay will run for one week, graphics will run for three weeks and the final products of the graphics stage will be followed with a round of voting. No run offs.
Part I: Gameplay
The contest will run in two stages, gameplay and graphics. The gameplay stage will run from this Sunday, March 20th to April 6th. In this time, contests are required to submit a gameplay sketch featuring one of the five cities listed. If you've never made a map or lack the technical graphics skills, this part is for you.
1) London
2) Mexico City
3) Dubai
4) Istanbul
5) Moscow
Entries may depict the city, past or present, partial or fully.
Entries may be submitted in any medium whether it be pencil or photoshop. Entries should be devoid of graphical flair and graphical complexity and should depict the core game elements.
All areas of gameplay dynamics must be complete. Territories must all be named. Bonuses must give their values and be named. Any neutrals must have a value. On map gameplay instructions should be clear and concise. All aspects of the map gameplay must be present on the map, so no additional paragraphs explaining how anything works. Your map should be self explanatory.
To take part, simply create your entry using media of your choice (even scanned sketches are permissible as long as everything is legible), host your submission using photobucket, imageshack or similar, and post in this thread with a direct link to the image embedded within [bigimg][/bigimg] tags.
Mapmakers are allowed unlimited entries for each city. All entries must be complete, as described above. All entries must be significantly different from each other.
Maps will be shortlisted by the cartography staff and posted up for the graphics contest.
Part II: Graphics
Prizes The winner of the gameplay and of the graphics contest will receive one year of premium membership, as well as an achievement medal and a mapmaking medal. Should the victor of the gameplay contest be the same as the grapahics contest, one of each medal and one year premium shall be handed out.

World Cities Contest: Phase Three
Hi Foundry Goers,
Now we have just 3 maps, each one representing a different city of the world, London, Dubai and Istanbul.
You have the opportunity to choose which one of these 3 maps should be crowned the winner of the World Cities Contest and thus be worthy to join the other maps available for play on ConquerClub, obviously after a short trip into the Final Forge.
So, going further....let me show you again the maps:
LONDON
DUBAI
ISTANBUL
The poll will run for a week, everyone can vote just for one map and the vote can't be changed, when submitted.
May the best map win!

Another phase of this contest has concluded.
Now, without any further ado, let me show you the nice maps we have received:
Certainly you have noticed that 3 of these maps represent London so, instead of start immediately a poll to elect the winner map of this competition, the Blue Guys have decided to start a special poll and give everyone the opportunity to vote which of the three maps of London is the best one.
The poll will run just for 1 week, so com'on! Visit the dedicated topic and vote for the best map!
See you here again in a week...or so.
