VOTING THREAD Warzone 3: The Nestlands Insurgency

Who Can Vote: EVERYONE

How to Vote: Look at all the MOCs from each side. First, determine which side won this battle. You should base your opinion on a couple different factors:

A)Build quality amongst all MOCs

B)Number of MOCs of quality [Please remember that Ulandus has a numbers disadvantage here in terms of team members, so even though they only had four builds, that is almost half their builders participating]

C) Story of the MOC

D) Fit to the Warzone. If you are not familiar with the requirements of the warzone, please at least read the “mini-challenge” section listed below.

You can weigh these in any order, or add your own categories. Please consider the three above in your decision though. You may want to clarify or lobby for your favorites in this thread, but you don’t have to write anything if you don’t want to.

Next, pick an answer to each question in the pole.

In the second three questions it will ask you to pick your favorite MOC from each side. Please judge on quality of MOC and its story. You can add other qualifications to your own judging process if you would like.

Finally, submit your vote.

Polling ends: April 3rd

Warzone 3: The Nestlands Insurgency.

Location: G15

Who Can Participate: All Factions

Terrain: This battle happens in the Northern Nestlands region. (The following is Gedren_y’s description of his home territory) “The mountain in the center of the grid is known as Ghuin Nol, and is described as predominantly light colored stone. The terrain is somewhat like Asian equatorial rainforest. The Nestlands settlements are mostly on the south and east faces, but Skywatch Perch is at the peak, and is manned by the High Guard. The mountain is honeycombed with natural caves, and would be a good strategic position if someone wants to overrun the commercial and production centers of the Nestlands. There is very little drinkable ground water, as it is too mineral rich.”

History: It is said that the Kaliphlin Civil War started in the Nestlands. Even before the council was willing to recognize they were at war, the Nestlands were busy fighting for their right to live as they desired, under their own rulers and religion. As the Ulandian Forces surrounded the High Council Enclaves of Mypa Stedor and Berigora, the Nestlands held out valiantly. However, overwhelming attacks by the 5^th Legion subdued the Northern Nestlands region, and put a green blip on the campaign map. Some said that the Nestlands clans were fighting an unfair battle, as they pledged neutrality, and when they refused to swear allegiance to the “New Council” as Ulandus has styled the government that they are trying to install, the Blazing Swords (5^th Legion) forced compliance.

Mini-challenge: Now that the war is in its first month, and most of the 5^th Legion has moved on to secure more territory, the Nestlands Clans have taken the fight back against the Ulandians. Small pockets of resistance, armed with Mpya Stedor weapons, have begun to overthrow the officials Ulandus had left behind. The challenge here for High Council builders is to depict one of these insurgency operations succeeding against Ulandus. Ulandian builders should depict on of the insurgency attacks failing, and Ulandus forces prevailing. Desert King builders should depict their forces taking opportune attacks against both sides. *this doesn’t mean you have to depict DK supporters attacking both sides at once, just attacking one or the other.

Restrictions: 32x32 with limited overhang, SPECIAL: Must have an irregular base. (hey, we are about improving our skills here, aren’t we?)

Due Date: March 29^th

A really difficult choice on this one. So many good contributions on all sides.

[Kai NRG]

One of the toughest yet to vote on the overall winners - I thought all three sides were pretty well matched!

[Graham Gidman]

Really nice work, everyone! Again, it's good to see some more Ulandus builds.

[MassEditor]

Another sweet round of entries! Is it just me, or do the entries just seem to get better and better with each minichallenge? As Robuko said in WZ2, many of these entries could have been challenge-winners on their own. What an awesome time to be a part of GoH!

Jacob, I hope you are able to provide Ska with a resized image of the full MOC. To me it's the best on the Desert King's lineup for WZ3, and deserves a full MOC shot for the voting thread.

I'll make that tonight. I didn't even realise it wasn't resized. Shame on me.

So many great builds, I wasn't even able to vote for my own.

That's kind of sad, in your home town! But I know what you mean, this one was really hard to judge.
