Ready yourself Cosmonarchs, as this is the return of Mapcrap! It's been long time coming, it's the first Mapcrap in such a rich development environment as modern Cosmonarchy, and the first one with a cash prize! You have time till the end of January to deliver the stinkiest of craps.

To get you starting with something simple, the theme is: Fun & Innovative

The rules are simple:
  • Use Cosmonarchy as your base -- we have experienced this as THE custom RTS platform so far, going back to BW or other games is out of scope currently.
  • Both Scenarios and Melee are allowed -- UMS is questionable, not something we have allowed in the past, but as long as you think it can appeal to the audience it's probably fine.
  • Teams are allowed, prize money will be split evenly by default, unless the given team agrees on something different. One submission per team.
  • Winners will be chosen by a weighted voting system.

The prize pool starts with my $25, you are welcome to donate to it as well! The top 3 winners take the prize (the split being: 1st 50%, 2nd 33.3%, 3rd 16.6%).

The details of the current voting system are not fully known yet, since it may need adjustment depending on the amount of participants. The current idea is that organizers (me & Pr0nogo) get 3 votes, prize pool donors get up to 2 votes, and community people get 1 vote (the OGs, high skill players, etc). We will likely investigate a better voting system in the future after seeing how this one works out (See: Pr0totype #39 for more info). We as the organizers reserve the right to break ties. Participants with votes must not vote for their own submission.
