@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

Wait! I've got some templates to submit:

"NinjaNic's 1v1 Template Design." (I couldn't come up with a name.)

First of all, the distribution mode is on full manual but there are 100 wastelands with 2 armies on them, so really you only have 20 to 30 selections available. Second, you begin with 3 permanent recon cards. You must use them on the 1st round, because you cannot hold any cards. This may help finding your opponent's starts, or the direction they are expanding in. Those cards last the entire game, and you don't receive any more. Disclaimer: This template was in real time. (Because I like real time better. :p )

This is really slick! I'm glad to see someone doing something interesting with the duration of recon cards. I talked about this a bunch in this earlier thread:

https://www.warlight.net/Forum/107556-new-concept-fog-cards

I think there are some fantastic possibilities to explore with this technology!

I have an idea for a template, using one of NinjaNic's new maps. Would you be willing to help test it out, Fleecemaster?

Sure Mark! Invite me to a game on that map and we can dicsuss it in the chat :)

Thanks Tabby, I know there's been a lot of discussions on the idea of mega-wastelands :)


MoD, I wasn't going to judge the templates till the 14th Janurary at least anyway, so I'm just allowing people to submit templates up to then really, and I will probably just do a judge on the 14th as before, then a follow up prize giving a couple of weeks after, so it's not a major change, just a bit more leeway :)

Everything will be wrapped up by the end of Janurary for sure, so don't worry Mod :)

Defo, either set up a game or I will once I get home (27th) Dec :)

Don't invite best... lol

Anyone else is fine :P

EDIT: btw, I'm back home on the 29th, not sure why I put 27th earlier... I can still play games, but I don't have as much time so I'm not so "organised" if you know what I mean?

By the way guys, I am absolutely loving going through all these, the wealth of ideas that are going into these templates are superb! Thank you everyone who has submitted something, no matter how small you think it might be!

Anyone who is worried their template might "not be good enough" or "not interesting enough" then please feel safe to PM me about it, I'll happily go through your template with you in private and we can discuss it's merits and potential improvements :)

Here's my submission for the bonus contest: (6 or less territories)

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=775211

Games:

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=10162834

Description:

It's hard to work with a map with 6 or less territories so I chose Dalarna/Sweden. (The usual lottery map.) Complete fog is on. You have 1 army per turn plus an incremental reinforcement card every turn. The center is worth -1 and no split mode is also on.
Basically you have to take a territory every turn or you will lose the game.

Edit: After 7 or 8 games, I finally won one. These are actually really tricky!

Sorry for not posting my template earlier, I hope I am not too late to have my template added to the competition:

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=774563

It is using NinjaNics new Discovery map, as well as cities distribution with a lot of small wastelands with the intent of creating very differing setups from game to game.

Thanks guys!

You're not too late, please keep posting submissions, I will accept them for the next 2 weeks up to the 14th January (I realised everyone was busy over Christmas!)
