[Link to the post where it starts.](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/design-a-troop-competition-week-two-theme-visual-style-for-the-troop/31325/161) - What’s that?

The idea with the most votes will win and be included in the troop. - Each player with an idea in the 8 selected will get some points based on what position they finished. - At the end of 4 weeks we will have a troop! - We will then distribute rewards to the players with the highest finishing points values over the course of the competition.

Go go go! EDIT: Ooft, I forgot to include the EULA. I’m so sorry everyone! I’ve uploaded it as a separate blog post as it’s quite long. Please go and give it a detailed read (bonus points if you can read legalese) and make sure you’re aware of the terms and conditions. [Design a Troop (Legal EULA) – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/design-a-troop-legal-eula/) This is the part that I think is very relevant for the majority of users here: _a) Entrant must, during the entire Contest Period, be a legal resident of the United States (excluding residents of Connecticut, Maryland, Nevada, North Dakota, and Vermont), Canada (excluding residents of the province of Quebec) and Europe (residents of Europe are ineligible to the extent that their individual Country of residence prohibits entry into this Contest in any way) in order to qualify for any of the digital prizes._ I’m so sorry for all of you have already entered that aren’t in the catchment area. Please let me know who you are or amene your posts. You won’t be eligible for prizes, I’m in the process of finding out whether you can still enter and waive your right them in order to participate anyway. Please bear with me while I do some additional digging. ---

Suncrest - Stryx / Naga Okay, so we are all somewhat familiar with the story of Quetzalcoatl, and an epic tier troop that married Stryx and naga would be an awesome “demigod”-type offspring or descendant of this old god, wandering the Stryx city even today. 🙂 Also, we don’t have many naga, so I love the idea of bringing more diversity into the game via this new troop. ---
