Hello! I’m Kameho, you might remember me from one of many concept threads about various civilizations, or that Guy who totally and most definitely inspired the Dev’s and Modders to make Crusader civ happen, or probably more commonly known as that Gold player who’s opinions donsn’t matter.
Well I’m here to Announce to all the AOE4 enjoyers a Competition I am hosting!
THE GRAND DIY CIVILIZATION PROJECT!
What is this you may ask?
Well nothing less but a Competition to the community on who is able to make the best OG Civilization!
All you have to do, is to come up with a Civilization that could fit into AoE4 as a OG Civ.
Not talking Variant, but a Civ that is currently not in the rooster and you would like to see!
There will be Grand reward of a total of:
100 Eurodollars for the 1st Place!
20 Eurodollars for the 2nd Place!
10 Eurodollars for the 3rd Place!
The winners will go through a screening process through carefully handpicked jury consisting of Various talents within the AOE4 Community.
The Contest will last throughout July and August, and the winner will be announced by the end of August.
Submissions will be open from 1st of July to the 7th of August. During this Period you are also free edit your already submitted concept’s for any Changes/Corrections.
After the 7th of August, Submissions will be set in stone and unable to be changed any further, however if you still haven’t submitted yours, you are still able to do so untill the 17th of August. As that is the final Deadline.
Is there any specific requirements for the Civ Concepts you may ask?
No, not really. You are free to represent your Concept in any way possible.
They could be very fancy, almost believable, like Chilly5’s Vietnamese
Or Completely original representation, a good example being VerboseWarrior Norse concept.
Or Keep it simple like my most popular Spanish Civ concept that are mostly text based but also trying to be informative.
It is ultimately up to you, how you choose to represent your Civ Concept.
Everything will be evaluated. But ultimately in the end, it’s the best, most interesting and well-thought-out Concept that fits within the timeline of AoE4 that will be the winner.
This is how you submit your concept:
Make a Thread on the Official Age of Empires 4 Forum, you are also free to put one up on reddit to.
Why the AoE4 official forums you may ask? Well, that place is almost 100% pure negative energy lately. I’d like to see it populated with something a bit more positive and uplifting!
Send the link of the post you posted your Civ Concept on, as well as any files (Word Doc or PDF file) To following email:
aoe4concepts@gmail.com
ONLY ONE CONCEPT IS ALLOWED TO BE SUBMITTED. IF YOU MADE MULTIPLE, ONLY THE ONE YOU WISH TO SUBMIT FOR THE COMPETITION WILL COUNT. i.e 1 Concept per competitor.
if you already made a Concept before and wish to submit that, that is also fine. But remember, a lot of things in AoE4 has changed over time, so you might want to look it over and update it accordingly
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through DM’s here on reddit or comment below.
Good luck!
