Welcome to Big Boards. Big Boards at one time offered the Zathyus network our long famous Resource Archives, our extensive search indexes, and our info-packed resource forums. Eventually, these were made redundant by upgrades to the documentations and expanded search features added to the ZetaBoards software, and this forum then lost relevancy and subsequently became inactive.

Our team then embarked on a new project called Planet Nexus, where a bold new experiment in forum promotion is taking place. We call it nexworking. NexusTree offers social networking pages for forums in a fully automated format. Your NexusTree page is created instantly when your join the nexus. Find out more by visiting Planet Nexus, and become part of the nexworking revolution.

The aim of this challenge is to create the best map you can for use in the Medieval Alliances game. This challenge will run for two weeks, until the 29th of December.

Here is the current map:

There are only a few rules for this challenge: the map must have grids 19x19 pixels, labeled using the alphabet horizontally and numbers vertically, all across it, and the map must use the same key as the one in the above map. Other than that, it is entirely up to you; the map can be as small or as large as you like, it can have as many continents as you like, and the mountains, trees and terrain can be anywhere on the map that you like. However, I must say this; the goal here isn't a cool map in the shape of a dragon, or something like that, the goal is for the most geographically correct map. So, obviously, you're not going to have a patch of temperate land in the middle of a desert.

The prize will be all the Credits I have at the time (145 or above) and, hopefully, some credits from the BBBF :P . You will also be the first to choose your position on the map, should you choose to play the Medieval Alliances game.

Get to it, and good luck to all who participate!

Make your map and post it in this topic. Of course, that is if you choose to enter the competition :)
