I also need to think of a unique town, since I've already done several: Guild (Sorceress), Prison (half-breeds) Hideout (lizardmen, unpublished), Depth (Naga), and Gate (Conflux). . . . I should be able to come up with something though. (A zodiac based racial skill I have in mind should fit the bill.)

I think what would be interesting is to have (perhaps for ICTC4 or a spinoff or something) do a "Secret Santa" deal, where everyone gets another player in the ICTC and chooses a faction they have to make.
Eg, I get Sith and choose Faeries as the core race. Then he has to make a Faery Faction. Sith gets Fofa and choses a faction with Hypnosis as a racial skill, and she has to make it.
Just a thought. Not for this ICTC. To busy working on mine. Am I allowed to call their castles TARDISes?

Ok I have many weaknesses (besides the Shiny things syndrome) but one huge one is stats. If anybody not participating or judging want to help me there would be appreciated. Taking sensible stats though, not uberpowerful run for the hills, kiss your behind goodbye type stats

If you'd like to allocate stats then that's ok, but they are not essential to this contest. It's kinda pointless when there is no standard in the game. As long as the abilities seem reasonable it's all good. It's expected that each level will be more powerful than the next. Make a note such as - strong archery skill, but weak defense, and slow etc, but actual numbers are not required.

As a side note, I would like to suggest all the participants to use bbcode so it is easier to navigate through your entries. I expect them to be long and tedious, so you could at least make them readable

If shiny is one of ytour weaknesses..Hmm why not create a unique knight town, loads of shiny armor to be put in there 
@ Baklava
Yeah, I feel the same. As getting 1 Ton of my shoulders. And why put so much detail in it, it surely will be a tiny chance for that the stats will be in H6 or that the town will be in at all, who knows?

I'd like to reask someone else's question - can we create variations of existing towns, converting HoMM5 ones to HoMM6? Or maybe it's allowed, but scores for originality may not be so high...
Quote:
4) The threads will be closed on 29th of March - no more ratings. HC Judges will now view the entries. Based on visitor ratings and their own judgement, the judges will select the top three entries. The combined visitor ratings will be a 50% factor in the decision, while the other 50% will be the combined ratings of the HC judges. Note: Visitor judges score will vary in worth, depending on how many towns they judge. There’s a complex algorithm. This is to prevent fly-by judges, as there has been in the past.
Ooh ooh, algorithm, tell me more!

I have one question for that I couldn't find a clear answer.
Do I have to stick to Ashan or can I make up a whole new thing not related to former universes?
Because I really don't like these dragons everywhere and their divineness.

He he he. There would probobally be a ranking thing (complicated levels that would involve much user participation before things began) that would match the creator's level of skill (TDL = 10, KD = 3, etc) vs. the difficulty/incompatability of the challenge. Eg, Sith is about a level 4 I'd say, and a faery faction would have an incompatability level of 8 for you. There would be score alterations based on the difficulty level, giving more sypathy and multiplying your score by 1.20 (80%/4) [difficulty percent/skill]
However, Orfin, (level 4) getting a Werewolf town has an incompatabilty level of 2 for him would have scores multiplied by 0.95.
If the skill is lower than the difficulty/incompatability, the score is increased. If vica versa it is decreased.
If petitioned early enough a Mod can change/request a change. Unreasonbale challanges (faction based on British Comedy, for example) would be rejected.
Also, Faeries wouldn't be hard. I'm not thinking of Fairies,
I'm thinking of Faeries.
Haven't seen these things before? That's cause you're not watching enough Torchwood!

You needn't use Ashan, you can use any HoMM planet you like (that's Colony or Axeoth), heck if you know enough about them you might even use a Might and Magic planet (VARN, CRON, XEEN, Ardon etc). I dunno if other settings are accepted.
The first post says:
Quote:
You can expand on any of the HOMM universes, not necessarily Ashan.
...even though there are only two in total, so that's not a major choice I don't imagine you can make up something totally unrelated, though that "Real World" town sorta implies that you can.
