Announcing the 2nd Set of The

[image loading]

credit to Zuratu for the banner!

With lots of hard work from our judges and our administrative team, we have the pleasure of announcing the 3 finalists produced from the 2nd Community Mapping Competition! You can view the original thread about the competition here, and see the finalists from the previous contest here.

This time around judges had more votes to assign than before, so some maps which did not have enough points to be a finalist were still shown as promising works. While there was a clear 1st place, there was a tiebreaker to decide 2nd and 3rd place! At the end of this post, the full spreadsheet of judge scores will be available to view. If you submitted a map, you may soon receive feedback from judges if they chose to provide it for your maps (in the original email chain you submitted your map in).

In 1st place: Moondance by Marras!

[image loading]

Moondance is a map with a lot of bases but a short rush distance. A pocket third offers players a safe expansion but it has less mineral nodes than a regular base and only one gas geyser.

(Wiki)Marras the finnish mapmistress strikes again with another amazing creation! She has cemented herself at the top of the mapmaking scene, producing many LoTV classics such as Deathaura, Lightshade, Ever Dream, Romanticide, and Nightshade (among many!), and her map Eternal Dream was 1st place in the first edition of the Community Mapping Competition! Moondance was highly regarded by our judges, receiving three 1st place votes, one 3rd place vote, and one 7th place vote for a total of five votes (out of a possible 6, while we had 7 judges, judges are not allowed to vote on their own submissions).



In 2nd place: Eldeyja by Legan!

[image loading]

Northern volcanic island where you start high up on a glacier and expand on high ground towards lower ground on sides. With four cliff levels there are a lot of ramps.

Legan, the architect who created TLMC13 Finalist Golden Forge designed a beautiful Icelandic aesthetic masterpiece in Eldeyja. Travel between the glaciers and volcanic ground in this wonderful work of art. Eldeyja scored very well in our judging, receiving one 1st place vote, two 2nd place votes, one 5th place vote and one 6th place vote but tying in points with Equilibrium by Agaton. Eldeyja won the tiebreaker as it had a total of 5 votes compared to Equilibrium’s 4 votes, securing its place at second.


In 3rd place: Equilibrium by Agaton!

[image loading]

A Macro map with many bases close to each other. The entry in front of the forward third will likely be a focal point until the rocks gets destroyed and rotations and flanks becomes easier. A rich expansion is nearby, but the area is exposed as it also serves as a pathway.

Agaton, the mind behind LoTV classic (Wiki)Pillars of Gold LE , current ladder favorite (Wiki)Hardwire LE , and TLMC15 finalist with his submission Jacaranda has created a unique horizontal symmetry map. Multiple different expansion patterns are available and will have a high impact on gameplay, especially with the option for a gold base that has a high yield geyser at the price of being quite harassable. Equilibrium scored strongly, receiving two 1st place votes, one 2nd place vote, and one 4th place vote, but received 3rd place due to losing the tiebreaker with Eldeyja as Eldeyja had more total votes (4 for equilibrium to 5 for Eldeyja).

Our judges nominated one map as an Honorable Mention: Mantra of Scorpions, for its interesting run-by pathways that surrounded the map.

And with that we conclude the 2nd edition of our contest! Congratulations to our finalists who will be taking home a clean third of our prize pool each! A huge amount of gratitude goes out to our judging team for their efforts, Kantuva for the prize pool assistance, Zuratu for his help with graphics, those who donated to the prize pool, and to all of you who chose to take the time to submit a map. Stay tuned for the next edition of our contest coming in 2022!

Here is a link to the spreadsheet of our judges scoring. Please note that we had a total of 7 judges voting in our contest.


See you soon!

All great maps, but I feel especially drawn to Equilibrium for some reason. Good job, everyone!

Honestly all of these maps look great both functionally and aesthetically, but wow the 1st place winner is just completely eye catching. The less resource pocket base is a nice addition as well, really smart.

Here's a much more compact, ordered, and readable version of the judge breakdown for the maps that got a score, because it was bugging me.

Nice results! Maybe more standard maps than the maps from first competition. In addition to the top 3 the next three maps seem to be well liked also. I hope to see another small tournament using the finalist.

Looking at the vote spread etc. and it seem that increased amount of votes helped with the main issues.

Equilibrium is a map I'd like to watch late game on. Feels like the way games play out can vary a lot.
