Microsoft Game Studios and
Big Huge Games announced that
Domonique Calhoun is the first winner in the Rise of the Ultimate Fan contest (
story). The competition’s first leg consisted of fans writing in to describe a series of in-game screenshots posted on the official website. Domonique beat out nine other finalists to take first place, landing her a visit to Big Huge Games later this year. The nine runners-up will receive a signed copy of “Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends” when the game launches in 2006. Domonique’s winning entry can be found
here. Details for the remaining three legs of the contest will be announced at a later date.
