Summer Retreat Contest

A curious wind travels all over the Exiled Lands. Sun watches over gloriously, as summer reaches its peak. For some, it’s time to retreat into a cool house by the water or in a cooler area. Others aren’t as lucky, living in all-purpose homes or worse yet - working under the sun’s scorching gaze.

Exiles, have you ever thought about where and how you would face the summer in the Exiled Lands? Well, no better time now to think about and work on that we gladly announce our next Building Contest theme: A Summer Retreat.

You are welcome to imagine it any way you’d like - cozy and wicked ideas are both welcome.

Exiles, it’s time to build your Summer Retreat in the Exiled Land. Whatever a “Summer Retreat” means is up to you to decide.

Judging will be based on creativity and originality of both your building and how you applied the idea of “Summer Retreat”.

Bigger is not necessarily better! While work put into a detailed construction will definitely be appreciated, a small house with an original take and well-thought-out decoration will be more impressive than a bland building with simply a lot of rooms.

Context can help us better understand nuances! This is why we are giving you a field to tell us about your building in the application form. You can name your building, talk about where it is and anything we should know (and might miss by just looking at the photos/videos!) While this is first and foremost a building contest, we will be reading and considering this field for context.

Judges will be from the community managers, community support, dev team and a select few Exiles volunteers.

There will be six winners, three for each category: unmodded and modded. As usual, we will also have a few Honorable Mentions!

Feel free to share your creations on social media with the hashtag #HotConanSummer ! In fact, one of our Honorable Mentions will be chosen from the participants using the hashtag!*
