Map Creator Contest Ideas

What kind of contests would you like to see using the Map Creator?

Contest suggestion

Hello my friends, so glad to see this website for first time.
I need to go deep into Feudums first before start talking but what I see until now is amazing. Good job guys. Hope I can help in any way.
That´s my contribution for contests, using my xp as simcity decades heavy user:
- Maps that resemble real places/regions;
- Maps for differents levels of dificulty;
- Best maps for geographic zones as florests, deserts, mountains or lakes.
Hope you like. Ciao from Brazil.

Thanks dennBRA

Thanks for the feedback, dennBRA. We've run a couple of contests already. The winner of the first styled his map after the British Isles and the North Sea area. It was brilliant! Check it out here: http://on.fb.me/1o7xtJ1 . We'll host a few more contests once we can get everyone migrated over to our new website and get everything running smoothly. In the meantime, enjoy your deep dive. Don't forget to come up for air every so often and say hello here in the forums!

Cool Idea

Great suggestion!

alagaesia

I'd like to create a map of alagaesia (eragon) but i would need city tiles (would be better but not that important), and desert tiles :)
Will new tiles be added to the map editor next build ?

Terrain Types

Compared to the Map Editor, Feudum Management build will present all four Seasons and all the main Tile Improvement types (aka. buildings, like castles, cities, mines, etc.).

For terrain types, this means more variations (different visuals for all seasons), but will not add new terrain types (such as desert). The system however is implemented on a way that it's quite painless to add new terrain types at any point later, just have to define their characteristics in the rule settings.

For the 1.0, we have generic terrain types, such as Plains, which is a substitute for all semi-arid terrains (steppe, rock deserts, etc).

Sand desert (and probably Tundra) is however something that might be added sooner or later, depends on the votes of our Backers.

Great Idea

Great idea about sharing maps. Unfortunately, I'll have to talk with our IT guy about giving permissions to do it.  I believe its currently unavailable for our users.  I'll let you know!
