I will love to be part of the Contest, and I can say that I am a good map maker... but I cannot get into the Map Editor.

Every time I click on map Editor then click on new and put a name of a map leave everything in default and Click on OK
it kick me out of the game.., reinstalled video drivers a few time and did not fixed the problem...
I have done many maps in the past.. but not anymore.

With all respect... fix the map Editor first then do a Contest...

Thank you.

Hmmm... It's posted here by an official Stardock moderator, states that Stardock will help pick the winner, they are awarded a Stardock prize , and Stardock reserves the right to modify these rules, yet this is not put on by Stardock and is run by community members?  Therefore Stardock has no obligation to put on hold or extend the contest do to map editor problems?  This seems to be a contradiction here, if it's the community then Stardock would have no ability to jump in change or judge the contest, and I would agree has no obligation, but not when they are promoting and adjusting the contest.

hello everyone.

Here is the Map that I could make before my map Editor crashed again...….

I was working on a dozen new maps each one better than the other.. but sadly I cannot continue on them because the map editor crashes on me every time….

-Map name: Ashes War (  can be changed if you want)

-Size: (6144) 72 Km

-Info: the idea of this map is to let every player start in any location available and have a fair start as every other player. In the middle of the map you have a small island that you can get there by air or by spawning there.., it make the game very interesting to play and create some good gameplay strategies.

-All playstyles are possible, rush, eco and defense are all possible.

 

Thank you everyone, I hope you like it.
