Soldat Mapping League

[Suowarrior]

It's time of change. The new version 1.5 represents new era for Soldat. It's also time to do something for mapping community. It's time for mapping league.

The main goal of league is to increase co-operation between maps and server admins. Another important thing is of course having new maps made.

Sounds like a rad contest.  I only snag a good map idea once every couple of months... so if I revised an old INF map of mine, may I enter it into the contest legitimately?  When I say revise... it just means me biting the bullet and re-shading, re-stretching, move/delete/replacing polygons, and re-theme'ing most scenery; essential me gutting the map like a fish, but maintaining the general layout (aka inf_Foundation).

I think that recent CTF maps are too symmetric, I think a good idea is to have 2 totally different team bases but each with their ups and downs. that would make for some nice gameplay!

Yes, you can bring it for contest.

There have been several inf maps that weren't ever tested. If you, dear mappers feel that some of your old inf map wasn't ever tested/noticed good enough, you can bring it now for the contest.

It's the deadline day. So if you have inf maps on your computers, now it's the time to release them.
