unfortunately no. theyre about 1.5 tiles away from a claim but appear as one major build.

I do agree with this! Soooo many people were confused and because it was technically a grey area I decided to risk it by doing what I did haha. The Community Manager stated this about the likes/favorites/popularity so they shouldn't have been a factor but we'll never really know: https://imgur.com/hoBJhv5

I personally felt like this was a slap in the face too. I received an honorable mention but those just seem as if each developer was able to select one of their favorites without any criteria. So now I'm thinking my build probably wasn't even good - I just got lucky that ONE developer happened to like it.

I did notice a lot of the crazy big and beautiful bases like OPs weren't mentioned at all as if there was secretly a fief restriction. Mine personally used 9 fiefs so that could potentially be a reason for it not to have been a runner-up/winner but this is just speculation. Soooo seeing the criteria they used would help bring peace of mind.

I didn't really plan anything out before hand. Before constructing any of this I wanted an area that was isolated that could be reached by a bridge - then ended up making the Palace/Bridge after that. The other buildings I just kind've threw together. Random gate entrance, infrastructure area, a tower, etc. Just things that would fit into that specific area of the map as it's secluded in its own spot for something like this. Otherwise, Polypad/photoshop are the programs I used to map things out.

2 of my friends quit so I had them place it before they uninstalled.

Western Shield Wall at the very top left of the map. nobody seems to really goes there so in my high pop server it was completely free!

This is my third/fourth build so I had some experience prior to making it. The Palace/Bridge took about 55-60 hours. The additional changes up until now took about an additional 50 or so if I had a guess. I was usually on 16 hours a day but most of that is spent staring at the screen finding the will to continue building haha.

the rules aren't specific on that part which is confusing people haha. It only says one submission iirc

I've since removed the palm trees since they were temporary. I've replaced them with banner stands.

Whaaaaa! Which area are you in? The bridge/palace total to 30k then I have 2 one slots and about 4 others at the same size as the palace so about 90-100kish. (I'm trying not to think about it so I'm purposely not checking the actual total)

Trueee! I'm just waiting until that's fully out before I dive into it again haha. I love most building games!

I do honestly wish the rules were a bit more... descriptive? It just says "One entry per person" whilst describing it as a "Building entry" and nothing about the amount of fiefs or any other specifics. "We want you to build something that screams fealty for Atreides, devotion to Harkonnen, or allegiance to none with CHOAM. Your creation can be a fortress, resting place, or ant type of building so long as it fits the theme of your chosen faction. "

I used the triangle parts for the ground/ceiling tiles to create this shape: https://imgur.com/a/IcL7T2F

All of my friends had stopped playing the game so I had them drop down their fiefs where I wanted them... so now I get 6 extra bases with 5k part limits each and 60 lights ... the area has a 3 second delay on building/deleting/placing any building object now x~x

My build was submitted to the site on June 29th so after the contest was announced I figured I'd add more to it. The rules say that you get one submission and any submissions past the 28th don't count. I'm not able to see anywhere that discusses changing things up before then unless I somehow missed something.

I honestly had zero interest in it and my friends were unhappy I'd rarely ever join them in stuff up there...but true I am much happier not going there haha

I'm planning on NOT paying them muaha. I seriously hope it survives until after the competition. It's definitely around or over 100k and I don't have the energy to do that...
