Since HOMM5 is due to come out when the contest closes this must be suggestions for expansion towns.

My guess is 90% of all the contest participants will be CH members. Steam town for teh win!

Heh... There will be lots of suggestions...

I bet that many people will suggest dwarven or orc cities... How original :]

I think I'll give it a try... I have a nice idea and I already have background for it

Considering that the suggestion must include also history etc. that perfectly fit into current story, I am not so sure there will be huge amount of proposals. Moreover, I doubt that they are seeking for ideas for first expansion. They either just want to keep fans busy and on Heroes subject until the release of game or seek possible new ideas for some very far projects.

a proposal thread should be created here if it isn't already (too lazy to check). also, didn't they already say no orcs?

anyway, I doubt they will plagiarize the town and put it in any expansion but it's a very neat contest to have. and it will be a nice way to keep the fans anticipating without having to release new info.

either how: if they release an expansion and they add a fan-created town, I think they will add one of their own towns as well. only implementing one of the fans' towns is almost like how 3DO released HOMM expansions without any new town.

D'you think they'll allow us to submit two?

What is the name of the new world it is all based in?

They'll probably use the Map Editor and make a small parcel of land as a land mass for creating their specifically made up new town as a suggestion or even proposal for the first expansion.

Do not forget people that these new town ideas can also emerge into the many fan-made mods, soon to be made after the official release of HoMM5.

@Gnoll_Mage, The world is called Ashan

Well didn't FC say there would be 11 factions in the new M&M world? Wouldn't that mean that Ubi already has ideas for the remaining towns/factions? Maybe not full creature rosters but atleast ideas on races and ideals!

I doubt that the towns will make it in a expansion, unless maybe they're close enough to the concept Ubi has! Or maybe Nival is just fishing for vreature ideeas!

well. the chances of them using the town proposals in the game should be the same as, but probably lower than, them using the artwork submitted to the contest as official box art or something to that extent.

Probably this is just for fun, and they won't include any of these towns in an expansion but anyway, fortress lovers this is our opportunity

I hope you are right and the game is that easy to mod. Who wouldn't dream about making his own mod adding his dreamed town for a mod?

It's possible that there will be fan-made mods fairly soon after the H5 release, but traditionally (in the case of H3 and H4, I mean), the mods only came after the release of the official expansions. It generally doesn't make too much sense to mod a game that will still be undergoing official changes to it unless the game makers specifically make it modable (and perhaps they will).

This sounds neat. Maybe a winning design could be used as a special campaign-only town. It wouldn't be a bad idea, and it would encourage players to play the campaigns, but if it was a good town, it would suck to not be able to use it often. But, as some have said, maybe modding could change that.

I first it was some kind joke since "konkurs" in Swedish means that a company is bankrupt and has filed that chapter that ends their company.

I'm not gonna make any suggestions since I got better things to do but it's a nice idea to keep fans busy.
