Ecclesiastes Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 First there were just rumors, stories told by traders who used to sell their goods in Mitgardia. Prices of foreign goods are going trough the roof these days in Valholl and other cities. Travelling just isn't save any more, not even accompanied by guards. Historica's inhabitants are custom to fearsome creatures and defeated their fair share of powerful enemies. But this time it's not a man seeking for power like the now dead Revolword or Raavage, who still isn't defeated. It's an ancient race, which lurked in the cold of the Frozen Beyond for centuries. Where ever they go, they are taking the freezing cold with them. And... They are not alone, beasts only known of myths are accompanying them. Most of the Northern Mitgardian plains are already abandoned, people seek refuge inside the larger mostly fortified southern cities. First it seemed the Algus were aiming to just take over the Northern Territories, but they even crossed the Demons Ridge. Onward to the other guilds. It seems their goal is to turn the world into a giant snowball... As the next chapter/challenge is still in the making and the last results are in: It's time for a little in between contest. We like to keep it simple so no size limitations, a short guideline and almost the whole winter to come up with ideas and time to build! The categories: A. Frostbite Fortresses and strongholds take preparation! -Time for building a good old fashion castle. You can either choose to build one owned by the Algus, like the Algor or for example your own establishment. Both sides must be present though. It can be a full battle or just an infiltration. B. A clash of titans Mythical creatures appear, to devour any one they can find on their path. -Build a beast, monster or other creature that comes from the Frozen Beyond. It can be a stand alone monster, being ridden by the Algus, attacking the innocent or being slayed. C. Bad weather forecast When the Algus are near, the weather changes. It starts to snows in the Kaliphlin heat and even Lava stops burning. -Show how the Algus are changing the weather in your guild. And show a solution to stop them. Oil and dragon forged swords seem to affect them. Can you find more ways?! All entries must be submitted in this topic by January 31st. And for the winning entries we have amazing prizes! Category A First place: Second place can choose one of two battlepacks. Third place will get the battlepack that remains. Category B First place: Second place can choose one of two battlepacks. Third place will get the battlepack that remains. Category C First place: Second place can choose one of two battlepacks. Third place will get the battlepack that remains. And what's a contest without tags?! For the winners: For those who entered all three categories: Have fun building! Oh, before I forget. This is about the GoH community, so not just about the prizes we have this time.

matoli Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 simply amazing contest! Will be accepted digital entries or only real bricks? Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Sounds like a great way to introduce my (Mitgardian Trader) Characters! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
mediumsnowman Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Neat contest! I may actually sign up for GoH just to enter this.... Quote
LordDan Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 This is going to be fun! I'm going to have to grab a few more of those icy chima sets to use in my builds before they stop selling them. Quote
The Steward Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Where to you submit your entry? I'm new in these things so don't trow any large heavy blunt objects at me, please. Edit: correcting misspelling. Edited November 8, 2015 by The Steward Quote
Jakorin Swiftsword Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Nothing better to halt an icy invasion than Avalonian steel! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Sounds good. Maybe I can combine it with "Expanding the winter village".... Quote
Bregir Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Where to you submit your entry? I'm new in these things so don't trow any large heavy blunt objects at me, please. Edit: correcting misspelling. Typically, entries are posted as their own topics and then linked to a dedicated thread. (Probably this one) *Throws small, light, sharp object* Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Quick question, are we allowed to combine entries into one build? A massive battle at a castle showing mythical beasts and weather changing and how to defeat them? Or are separate builds preferred? Quote
The Steward Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Typically, entries are posted as their own topics and then linked to a dedicated thread. (Probably this one) *Throws small, light, sharp object* At least it wasn't a blunt object... Quick question, are we allowed to combine entries into one build? A massive battle at a castle showing mythical beasts and weather changing and how to defeat them? Or are separate builds preferred? That's what I was thinking. Quote
Halhi 141 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 For the three free-builds rule: I'm assuming that doesn't include any challenge/mini-challenge entries? I fit the requirement when challenge entries are included in that number, but not if it's restricted to just freebuilds... Quote
Simon_S Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 This sounds so great, I have already so many ideas. You really aren't going to give me time to study, aren't you? I know exactly what you mean Quote
Puvel Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Sounds great! Do we post entries in this thread or will there be a separate one? Here’s my first entry for Category C: Bad weather forecast Edited November 10, 2015 by Puvel Quote
mediumsnowman Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Are any sort of prefix tags required, such as [The Frozen Beyond - Cat B] or something similar? Quote
