For a little fun we are going to have a design a unit contest.
The Rules:
1.[tab]Each participant can submit 1 and only 1 unit. We mean it, we don't want "either of these are fine", "here are a handful of ideas", or "here is my very favorite, filtered down, cream of the crop 347 pages of unit ideas".
2.[tab]This contest isn't for heroes, we may have one of those later. This is only for a non-unique unit.
3.[tab]The unit can be recommended for a specific civ or not, either way is fine.
4.[tab]Be sure to read the first post of the unit, promotion, spell and heroes threads to make sure your ideas are unique before submitting it (your idea may be excellent, but if it is already done somewhere else you won't win). You may want to read the entire unit thread to get an idea of what we look for.
5.[tab]Bonus points given to non-uber units. We already have the top of the power curve detailed out (I know those units are the most fun to make) what is more difficult to design is making the early and mid-game units interesting.
6.[tab]Backgrounds or writeups aren't nessesary but a good name is.
7.[tab]Please keep your responses to this thread down to 1 post for each entry (and therefor 1 post for each person). Create a new thread if you want to chat about the contest.
8.[tab]While we are accepting sumissions you are free to change your entry if you have a new idea.
9.[tab]FfH team members can't enter. (this means you Woodelf!)
The contest starts right now and we will be accepting submissions until May 28th at 9pm EST (Eastern Standard Time).
Judging:
After 9pm each member of the FfH team will have 24 hours to pick their favorite unit. I will add all of the selected units to a poll for public voting for 3 days. At the end of those 3 days the unit with the highest votes wins!
The Reward:
Your unit will appear in FfH2! Thats right, we have taken stealing ideas to a whole new level by asking you to compete for the right to have your ideas stolen! You can supply the pedia entry for the unit if you like or we will write it based on your description and your unit will have custom art done by one of the art team members or me (and if it's me I'll apologize now).
