It's been months, and many of you may have forgotten about it, but November saw some champions arise. That's right, I'm talking about the long lost November Melee Mapping Contest.
Through innumerable problems and hassles, the grades, victors, and glory have been properly allocated as Warboards' Official Monthly Mapping Contest has concluded its November competition. Initiated by Titanwing and SilverCrusader, this contest was themeless, with a possible 10 points each available for Positional balance, Racial balance, Aesthetics, and Creativity (A possible 40 points, averaged into a score out of 10).
It's been a long time, but these local lords of mapping deserve our notice no less now than months ago, and it's finally here.
November saw our first ever tie for First Place between returning champion Some_Person's two-player map, Rocky Plateau and Dem0nS1ayer's two player Sacred Lands.

Unfortunately, Ahzz was again unable to meet the contest's extended deadline, and as such received automatic zero's. Better luck next time, I suppose. The November Mappack will be added shortly, and the December Contest will be posted in a couple days.
The November Mappack is now available.

wow i really think the snow one should have done better. i dont know if those 'unfinished ramps' were on purpose or not, but in some cases they looked cool.

| The unfinished ramps was 100% on purpose, but I did not have enough time to fix them aesthetically. They have totally different combat values than a real ramp, though, and imo, it was unique. So I was like "what the hell" Also, I had to ifght for a good number of my balance points. It might not be pretty, but if heres one thing I'm sure this map is, it's pretty balanced.

Bummer that Whiteout and Memoria didn't finish higher, they're my favourite maps by far.
