City makers challenge, April 2006

[Flamand]

Welcome to the first monthly Still Graphics/ PCX Makers Challenge!

So here are the rules:

1. Everyone may enter a PCX, as long as:

• The submitter is the creator of the PCX
• The PCX is completely new, not posted before either on this website, nor on any other. Cut and Paste ofparts ofthegraphics is allowed, but the whole must be original.
• The PCX is not directly converted from another game.
• The new PCX must be available for download for the civ community.
• The new PCX must be in the same scale as the standard Fireaxis material.

2. There is no theme in this competition. Any PCX can participate!

3. The PXC maker can choose any style he wants. For inspiration and ideas the first page of the call thread of that month may contain some request by other members.

4. A link to the PCX together with a preview needs to be posted in this thread APRIL 30 2006. After that a jury thread will be launched in which the winner will be decided by a 1 week poll.

5. This is supposed to be a friendly competition between gentlemen (m/f ). Please stay friendly to each other at all times...

Let the requesting begin...

[Flamand]

Hey! Some of the coolest cities outthere are converted stuff!

And for those people I should start a City Converter Challenge...

 

[Pounder]

Here is a Frontier Town that I have started work on.

 

[WildWeazel]

<-- wants a "PCX of the Month"

Nice city, Pounder!

 

[Rambuchan]

Nice city there Pounder, hope you complete the job.

I'd like Aion to finish his Hindu cities, which would surely stand him in good stead for a victory.

 

[Aion]

I'd like Aion to finish his Hindu cities, which would surely stand him in good stead for a victory.

I'd like that, too, but I don't know if RL has different plans with me...

 

[Flamand]

<-- wants a "PCX of the Month"

<-- leaves that competition entirely to someone else... Three is enough...

 

[mrtn]

Well, a pcx of the month would include cities, and you're right, three is enough.

 

[Flamand]

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking that myself actually... OK, this one is open for all PCX's...

 

[WildWeazel]

Too bad you can't change the title.... PM a mod?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Can I enter something I posted here an hour ago without breaking rule #2?

 

[WildWeazel]

Can I enter something I posted on the 2nd, since this competition didn't exist at the time?

Also, we're allowed to submit multiple graphics, right?

edit: one more question- Does a package of graphics count as one entry? For example, a whole or partial terrain set.

 

[Rambuchan]

I'd like that, too, but I don't know if RL has different plans with me...

Of course I would wish RL to do wonderful things for you, rather than obliging yourself to sit down at the comp and knock out these city sets. But I bringing it up for two reasons a) It's a vote of faith and support for your impressive skills in this department and b) It's something of a tradition for me to bring it up now isnt' it?

 

[Storm Grunt]

Thanks for doing this Flamand. Finaly something I can compete in Yeah!!

Now what to do. Hmmmm...

 

[Flamand]

Can I enter something I posted on the 2nd, since this competition didn't exist at the time?

The title says "April", no?

Also, we're allowed to submit multiple graphics, right?

Yup, as many as you want, but a poll can have only 20 entries. That's perhaps the limiting factor.....

edit: one more question- Does a package of graphics count as one entry? For example, a whole or partial terrain set.

A terrain set or an interface counts as one, seems reasonable...

 

[The Last Conformist]

Then I'll enter Hamlet to get us going.

 

[Aion]

Also, we're allowed to submit multiple graphics, right?

You lower your personal winning chances by running multiple entries, don't you?

Of course I would wish RL to do wonderful things for you, rather than obliging yourself to sit down at the comp and knock out these city sets. But I bringing it up for two reasons a) It's a vote of faith and support for your impressive skills in this department and b) It's something of a tradition for me to bring it up now isnt' it?

If it's such a nice tradition, how could I dare to put an end to this wonderful little banter of ours by really finishing the city set? Imagine how boring it would be without the possibility of teasing me

 

[Mirc]

I might enter something, but only if I'll have time to make it.

 

[Quinzy]

any advice on how to make this better?:
