Continuing our tradition from last month, a new road building competition! Entries will be ranked based on a point system:- Every tile of road length (regardless of width) - 1 point
- Every tile of bridge length as part of the road - 5 points
- Guard tower near the road - 50 points
- Fountain/well near the road - 10 points
The top 3 entries by total number of points will receive the following prizes:- 1st place - Uniquely named fantastic 99ql shovel + Rare HotA statue + 20s
- 2nd place - Uniquely named supreme 99ql shovel + HotA statue + 10s
- 3rd place - Uniquely named rare 99ql shovel + 5s
Rules:- All roads built after Walden launch (March 6th), on both servers, are eligible for entry.
- Projects that have been started before in previous months and have been completed now are eligible if they haven't been submitted before.
- Entries must be submitted before April 30, 23:59 UTC. The winners will be announced in the first days of May.
- Roads must be at least 2 tiles wide. When going through thick forest - sand or moss the sides. Diagonal sections can have 1 full tile + 1 diagonal tile on each side.
- Roads must look like roads, not like someone paved the side of a hill. Flatten dem borders.
- Towers, fountains and wells must be clearly visible from the road to count.
- Fountains and wells must be on water tiles to count.
- No landbridges! If your road crosses water - build a proper bridge that doesn't impede ship movement.
- All roads must be paved, no dirt or gravel roads.
- In case of group projects, the prize will be handed to the player that submitted it, who will be responsible for distributing the prize to the group (as agreed by them).
Entry submission:Post in this thread. Include your character name, a screenshot of the map with the road marked on it, the length of the road + number of towers/wells/fountains (this will be verified by me). |

Could the reward maybe be a different tool?
kinda disincentivizes previous contest winners, and we didn't have many people entering to begin with.

Yeah, different tool might be better. Maybe a pickaxe would work? Honestly mined more than dug for our road q:
But I'm still down to nab another shovel. Henry can have a friendo o:

I don't know, shovels are very symbolic for road building? I don't want to do pickaxes since those would have a far more significant impact on the game (considering how much is tied to mining and ore ql).

Do roads & towers that are on deed count?

If it's part of a bigger road that passes through the deed - sure.
