Cool, thanks Dublin! :)

MoD, to be honest that sounds kinda boring :P

I was only using that template as an example of one where I was using custom scenario to make non-uniform starts, and the ability to choose the starting locations. Although by the sounds of things that's what you were talking about. The map I chose there wasn't important to my point. I was using that one to test because it's small :)

Can I link several templates with fog changes, mulitattack, strategic autodistribution games etc? I don't claim for any of them to be mine and unless the creator submits them I don't think they should be awarded prizes but I think you should see a list of templates that aren't quite so "basiclly strategic".

That's a great idea. For one, it will promote lesser-known templates, and for another it will give template creators some fresh (to most of us) ideas to spark the imagination for their contest entries.

The real point of this contest (and the other one, too) is to promote template creation, so the more the merrier, IMO.

Two weeks in! Don't forget to submit your templates! :D

I'll be starting to test the ones I have so far, I've already tested on a few and there's some exciting stuff already here! Please sumbit anything you like, honestly, even if you think it's crap, I won't judge you harsly like others may do.

There's currently no submissions for the 200 coin "Duel map" prize or "Six territories or less" prizes! Get them in dude and dudettes! :D

weird templates are even more fun to play

:D

Thanks Tim! :)

I've actually thought about something along these lines, have you tested it?

I'm going to start setting up games very soon with everyone who has submitted templates :)

EDIT: Looking at the card set up, it looks very similar actually to a "Clash of Titans" set up, which I find really good fun :)

How will you handle big multi-player games like Timinator's? With AIs? Open seats? Invites? Volunteers? (I don't think I can volunteer, sorry, I'm trying to keep my games limited to a reasonable amount for now. Just curious how you'll handle them.)

Can I submit 4-5 players FFA?

Galician: 1 start, 1 army for every territory. the Player who finds the best point to start Expansion wins.

3D Fight! 4 starts. who sees the best picks? on three dimensions! Anticipate your Opponent to the max with multiattack. 1army/territory to make Bonuses less important

Zombies! Apocalypse now! the Zombie-AI in the Center got big income as well as stack. It's a bigg FFA. Only the strongest one survives and defeats the Zombies or can at least survive longer than every other human.

Duel: 5 order delays, 5 Reinforcements of 10, 3 sanction cards, 2 bombs, 1 Diplomacy Card Let the predictions begin! when is the best Point to use the Cards? find it out!

Considering I regularly host 40 player FFAs, finding people to help test won't be a problem, I'll just use my regular guinea pigs ;)

Thank's for the templates MoD! :) I'll have a proper look through them soon :)

Kain, you can submit ANYTHING :P

I wanted to try and change diplomacys in a way that was unusual and different so i made:

@MoD, the first turn :P

Fleecemaster,

I've just started a game with you (you know the one - it's the zombie war scenario). Can that count as a submission?

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=771866

Starting a 3 player FFA tournament for my clan early next year with this template, therefore I unfortunately don't have any example games for you to look over, but feel free to use it for yourself; I would love feedback.

Edit: Is this supposed to be strictly 1v1 templates? If so, then change the distribution from 2 territories each to 3, and of course remove one of the players.

Edit #2: A link to a fairly decent game under the template, for those interested. Unfortunately, we had a boot and a premature surrender, but you should be able to get a feel for the template nonetheless. Link: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=10130473

Has the full works. If you want to know what I mean by that, use it to play a game. :)

I'll submit my FFA then ... anyone eager to play an example game on it ??
We need 5 players in total so besides me and Fleecemaster there is space for 3 volunteers....

Also please don't take it personally but I'd prefere if those were skilled players who would be able to analyse and evaluate this template properly (ideally above 50th lvl and with a long gaming history).

Template was already tested and played many times so don't worry - this game will be both entertaining and sth new ... (i can provide links if needed)

I'm happy to add a little bit of time for those who's templates aren't "quite" done, I'd rather keep the process friendly and informal to give everyone time, especially as it's Christmas, I've come to realise I have less time than expected! :)

So, what is the deadline?

You still have mine from the game we just played, right?

I do yeah.

The main deadline was end of this month, but I would like to add a couple of weeks to it to give a few players some time to get there's ready (anyone who has submitted a template may of course update their's too)

So long as everyone is ok with that, I'm still playing on some of the templates, what I might be is play/rate and comment on what I have so far, and then do another session with the remainder. Then an overall "prize giving ceromony" once everything is complete :)

if you give it "a couple of weeks" more, i think many will Forget about this and interest will decrease when you make the end event
