Hey everyone,
The Humankind Map Creation Contest is over, and we can say it was a huge success!
We're thrilled by how many of you participated in this contest! We got over 300 submissions to the contest, with themes ranging from real world maps to well-known fantasy worlds, some competitive maps, and even some quirky ones, and we want to thank every single one of you for the time, effort, and creativity poured into these maps.
If you want to check out any of the winning maps, you can find them all on the Humankind mod.io page, or follow the link to a specific map in the list of winners below.
- Community choice: Huge Accurate Earth by SharpNdT5 - A map based directly on a topographic map of earth, trying to be accurate rather than make modifications for gameplay and balance
- 10th place: Sunken World by Chell_uu - Earth, but not as you know it: The sea levels have risen and flooded large swaths of land
- 9th place: What If - Mars by ickex - Mars, terraformed to have large oceans and some lush vegetation
- 8th place: The Lord of the Rings by Stonewall1815 - A map of Middleearth, from the Shire to Gondor, Mordor, and beyond
- 7th place: Detailed Fantasy: Warhammer by Tyrant_lord - A world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, from Naggaroth and Lustria in the West to Cathay in the east
- 6th place: Tamriel by Dimonoider - The world of the Elder Scrolls, including all of the provinces
- 5th place: Tainted Eden by Onesama - A competitive map that tries to establish a balance of opportunities instead of a perfect symmetry
- 4th place: Planet Auriga by kwkn - A map of planet Auriga from our previous game Endless Legend, based closely on the official map in EL
- 3rd place: France by kaimetsyl - A map of France (without the rest of Europe), with many of the larger rivers navigable
- 2nd place: Africa - Cradle of Humankind by Fredson90 - Africa by itself, rendered in great detail
- 1st place: Giant Earth Map by Gedemon - An earth map largely based on real terrain, but tweaked for gameplay and balance
We have reached out to these winners through mod.io, and are awaiting their response. Please respond before Monday, September 20th, 8pm CEST, or we will need to give your prize to somebody else.
Once again, thank you everybody for the hard work put into the many submissions we received for the contest, and we hope everybody else will have fun with the huge variety of maps that were submitted!
