Welcome to the fifth Defend the Spot Scenario Design Competition (DtS competition). Held two years back to back in 2007 and 2008, again in 2013, and once more in 2016, it has been two years since it was held. We hope for many excellent entries. This type of competition is not very difficult, so it is an excellent way for newer designers to show off their creativity. Don't hesitate to join!
So, what is a "Defend the Spot" scenario? Simple. The basic premise is that you have to hold out for a while in a limited area against superior forces. The most common type of DtS scenario is a defense of a fortified castle or city against hordes of invaders, but a DtS can be the defense of anything - a forest village, a newly-found treasure, a hill during a surprise attack, the king's ship in the middle of the sea - the possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
For good examples of DtS scenarios, check out these scenarios:
- Only one entry per forummer. No teams.
- There are no restrictions on styles - you can have fixed force, build and destroy, even role playing defend the spot games. Your scenario cannot be wholly a cutscene, however.
- The game must be a single player game. No multiplayer.
- The Forgotten, African Kingdoms, and Rise of the Rajas expansions to the HD Edition
are allowed, as is the use of the UserPatch. - Any game modifications are allowed. Trigger Studio, data mods, graphics mods, language file edits, and other file modifications are allowed.
All entries must be submitted to the Blacksmith by 23:59 forum time (CST),
