Contest 120: Caesar III Best Scenario Contest 2007

CBC is honoured to be able to continue Duan Xuan's annual series of scenario design contests after a break of four years. For the first event of this type here we will stick rather closely to the original design, it will be a contest for C-III scenario's and there will be a theme. This year's theme will be (Global) Climate Change. The main difference with the original series is that the scenario's should be suitable to be used in a contest setting.

Designers should prepare a scenario using the C-III editor, preferably making their own terrain map, but it is allowed to make use of an existing map and just edit the event list and other settings. Any type of contest scenario is allowed, either the standard individual contest, played at hard and easy, or a team contest map, usually played at normal, a series of (short) scenario's such as the Imperial Assessment, or any new type of setup. An integral part of the scenario is the accompanying text file, as will be displayed on the contest page. Designers may choose to work alone, or as a team, also note the remarks in the next section. The less restrictions, the more room for creative ideas. The only requirement is that the scenario can be played as a contest.

Another difference with the original BSC and regular contests here at CBC is that designers are offered assistance. We require all our contest maps to be thoroughly tested, first at apha level by the designer, next at beta level by one or two testers. CBC will provide designers with beta testers if so asked. Beta testing often results in modifications to the scenario that improve its enjoyability for a larger audience.

The final scenario's will be assessed by Goonsquad and Joshofet. They are also available for testing and advice, so if a designer has any questions or wants feedback on an initial design, do not hesitate to contact one of us by personal message. Doing so will not negatively influence your chances of winning, on the contrary.

The deadline for submitting scenario's is December 31st at midnight. Submissions can made by uploading a zipped archive of all the relevant files (map, saves for hard and easy difficulty level and text, notes, questions) to the upload page of CBC. Remember there is a place in the uploads for you to add comments and questions.

The designer(s) of the winning scenario will gain eternal honour. All scenario's are eligible for a contest here at CBC.

Designer's Notes

• Here are a sampling of Designer's notes:
  
• The wage rate and tax rate are fixed. Do not change them. Wage and tax manipulation are not permitted in this contest.
• This is a peaceful contest. Unless you upset Mars or the natives you should be okay.
• Peace is set at 100 to stop anyone from reaching victory any earlier than 84 months time.
• Favor can be anything you like.
• The requests can be met or not. Its up to you.
• All ratings can be anything you wish. Obviously in an economic contest the more the tax income the better so you will want some rich housing.
• The contest finishes in 84 months. You may submit an entry at any time although the longer you play the more you should earn.
• A tip for novice players. Don't forget natives love to buy Roman trinkets.
  Have fun.
