I know you said "there is no time limit", but it's been a year since then. ^_^
I'm new to this game, but I downloaded the contest files and tried them out. I was impressed by the new additional towns. These are all carefully balanced for distribution?
What are the goals for this contest, exactly? Is it a certain rank (Lord Mayor, Alderman)? A certain amount of gold?
I'm not sure if this matters, but I found that some of the mission text, jobs you can get from taverns, has no English version. I'm guessing this contest was primarily made for the German audience, so I'm happy that it's playable on my English version at all, and I can read enough German to understand what the job requires, in general, anyway.
