Hello there Celeste players!

As you can see in the attached graphic, we will be accepting entries until 2024/07/04, after which the best submissions will be selected for the community to vote here on the forums.

When the final winners are determined, we will be sending you your prize directly in your in-game mail. The first and second winners will be contacted here on the forums first so they can select their gear prizes.

How to Participate in the Contest

To enter the contest, simply take up to three screenshots of your favorite capital city and post them here in this thread. (or if you can't post them directly here, upload them to imgur and share the link here.)

Don't forget to include

• your in-game username so we can send you your prize, should you win any of the prizes!
• the in-game name of your city so that other players can find it easily for a tour.

Contest Rules
============​

1. Only post pictures of one capital city. If you have more than one capital city that you would like to share with us, save it for the next contest! This one won't be the last. Participants who post pictures of more than one capital city will be automatically disqualified.
2. Only post up to three screenshots of your capital city. This is so that going through the screenshots is manageable for us and so that everyone has a fair chance of competing with the others. Participants who post more than three screenshots will only have their first three screenshots considered when choosing the final contestants for the community to vote for.
3. Any participant trying to buy or influence votes will be disqualified.

2. Second Place
   You can choose any piece of gear except Bahram's item.

• Personal favorite
  I will choose a capital city among the finalists and offer a prize even if I am not as rich as Bahram. You will be able to choose between one gear (except Bahram’s) or 500k.

We will be keeping you updated on the contest's voting over at our Discord server, so make sure to join so you don't miss an update!

The contest has now entered the voting stage, and you can vote for your favorite capital city here!

 

Hello, there, folks!

Here's my entry: the city of Artemopolis. It's meant to be the central hub of my 7 nation army, so it has buildings and citizens from the 7 civs. It has a capitol secion, mostly inhabited by Greeks and Romans; the Summer District, home to the Egyptian, Babylonian and Persian immigrants, and the Northern district, home to Nordic and Celtic immigrants.

Maybe visit if you want to see the rest! In game name is Andres

Do visit my city! Welcome, welcome!

 

Hi there! My idea was to make city with logical streets and blocks, there dwellers can live.

1. City center with the home of the pharaoh.

2. Western part with library and natural oasis (some romans trade here also)

3. Eastern part where greek can have some rest

Visit city to see other blocks. There are also northern part with pyramids and cave where celts and norse have some fight

Here's my Greek city, Rion (now modern-day Antirrio). I made it be as realistic as possible, so it looks good from all angles, not just the regular camera angle.

The city's main feature is the acropolis (Image 1/3). Unlike many other Greek city-states, few wealthy residents live in it, here it's mainly the seat of government. Here you'll find the palace, the advisor hall, a statue and a temple dedicated to Zeus.

Further down the central road of the city, you'll find the entertainment district (Image 2/3). Housing the arena, the theaters, and the Stoa, this area is main gathering place for non-functionary citizens.

The last image (3/3) is the city's military grounds. Divided into two halves, the image shows the military square, with the gear hall and spartan academy. On the island across the creek, you'll find the training grounds.


Some other neat details about the city:

• Because it's built on the Gulf of Corinth and not on a freshwater river, I've had to place wells in each area to grant the residents access to freshwater.
  
• The city's patron deity is Apollo
• There is a statue for of each of the Twelve Olympians except Artemis, Demeter, and Hephaestus located in various spots around the city.

I had to scramble to get the city looking good for the contest, and I'm still not finished decorating. Unfortunately, I ran out of gold and empire points, and Greek items are hard to come by, so some areas of the city arnt finished.

Still, I would recommend visiting the city, because three screenshots doesn't do the city justice. There are so many areas and details I didn't get to show in them, so feel free to take a good look around!

Sidenote: theyres some tough competition here! everyone's cities look so cool

An apology first of all, I made several attempts to publish my 3 png images but there was no way. I share the link to imgur to participate in the contest so that my city can be seen.

Please visit my capital to have a better perspective, thank you and best of luck to all the contestants.

Click on share and copy the link to another tab to see the 3 images. Again, sorry, I don't know how to facilitate access.

Man, this is more of a last-minute submission (If even!), but dang, so many of the other cities here have me beat easily. I really want walls and more base building vanities
