3 comments by Psycho_Sam on Apr 19th, 2008 digg this super bookmark

The Mare Nostrum team are proud to announce the launch of the El-Alamein Mapping Contest.

There are two phases to the contest:
• Phase 1: Infantry maps to be submitted by 30th June in commemoration of the start of the first Battle of El-Alamein.
• Phase 2: Combined Arms/Tank Maps to be submitted by 26th July, the anniversary of the end of the first Battle of El-Alamein.

Rules are straight forward:
• No using other community created content without the creator’s permission.
• No remaking stock RO maps.

We would like to encourage any budding mappers to try to base their
maps on historical battles, but ultimately we’re just after seeing some
creative entries and innovative gameplay.

Prizes are to take inspiration from the now famous Summer Offensive
mapping contest from the Red Orchestra mod days. First and second place
will both get to choose a prize from a selection of WWII militaria. Our
competition winners as well as any other worthy entries will be offered
the support in order to become an official map for Mare Nostrum.

We are also pleased to announce some forthcoming content, which will be
in game ready for the mappers working on phase 2 to be able to
implement, test and balance their maps. (This list is subject to change)

Matilda I
Vickers Mk VIB
