Ok, simply put, when I find a building modeller to make me the building, they will need something to go off of. The most important thing atm, is the fortress...

Rules:

You can have as many entries as you want, more entries means a better chance of winning

It has to have a healing upgrade...

It has to have an armor upgrade...

It needs a central upgrade, preferrably something to do with a palantir...

It has to have three other unique upgrades...

It needs to use Arnorian architecture (like Amon Sul, Fornost)...

It needs to be practical, I may not be able to find a modeller willing to spend a long time making one model...

It can't resemble the MotW fortress...

Full color is preferred, but B&W is also accepted...

The Winner will hopefully get to have his art made into the building, and he and any other contest winners will get first chance at beta testing when I have enough new material for a private beta.

You can get your inspiration from online images, but it needs to be from you. Photos will be disqualified. Also it must be different from any photo you get inspiration from.

I will judge all entries in two weeks. If I have a modeller by then I will send it to him and have him tell me what is possible and what isn't. I may also have my mod team aid me in the judging. PM or e-mail me the art, and if you want you can also post it here... Question and comments are welcome I will start accepting entries today March 16, 2007.

just use the amon sul model for the arnor fortress, and the amon sul towers as your tower upgrades.

[JEV3]

But that doesn't give me all the things I want... I want the fortress to be as functional as the MotW fortress.

[Caluadan]

maybe a modeller could make those hobbit holes and banner upgrade for the fortress...its just that making an entirely new model ought to be quite hard.

Go to ImageShack and upload the image to the net

I'm sorry, but neither of those are entries...

You can get your inspiration from online images, but it needs to be from you. Photos will be disqualified. Also it must be different from any photo you get inspiration from.

Besides, that may be good for a monument or a prop, or maybe a elite barracks, but it doesn't have the flexibility I want for a fortress.

I will make my own concept art, though it won't be anything grand... If Beremir (the guest) can get it to upload properly or send it by other means, then I will probably use it...

I have no picture and no scanner so is there any other way I can submit an idea

[Pixel]

People who cant draw and scan it to there computer, Can always use a program alike Photoshop, Gimpshop or even paint... To draw a concept.

Also does no one have a local libary close to them with a scanner?

This is Beremir's entry, and it is the sort of thing I imagined...

I will make a few changes to the upgrades and stuff as needed, and I might modify the shape slightly so that it doesn't resemble Amon Sul too much...

The final upgrade will have to do with the Palantir, I will probably use Arveleg's Palantir ability for that...

Here is my comments on it...

Arnorian Stones - I'll probably rename it or something, as with most factions this would be the second biggest upgrade which will enable the final upgrade...

Tower of Arnor - I think this is kinda obsolete since Fortress fire arrows anyways and you can have tower expansions... Also, I would have to make this another prerequisite for the Palantir which would cause some balance issues...

Statues of Kings - This is more imaginative than banners! I will probably use this, I just hope that it won't look too much like an exact replica of Amon Sul...

Elven Crafters - This appears to be a copy of Arnorian Stones...

Ranger Hideouts - This is a castle, so rangers wouldn't exactly be hiding...

Palantir - This will be used as a weapon and not a vision thing

Here is what the upgrades would look like after a little reworking...

• Statues of Kings - Leadership
• Stone Heap - Upgrade Discount
• Fountains of Arnor - Healing
• Dunedain Garrison - Defense thing
• Shrubbery - Moat-type thing
• Fire Munitions
• Arnorian Fortifications - Armor
• Palantir Tower - Fortress Weapon

This uses a few of your ideas with a few slight modifications...

Thanks again... when I have a private beta out, I will be sure to contact you!

Can we still enter. I will have to have a friend scan it on for me but I can still do it.

Here is a poorly done paint one. It is my first entry.
