Here you can place all your feedback, questions, remarks etc. on the Elvenar Guides Competion!

I admit to being a little miffed with this. It seems that what you are doing is asking the players to write content for you that you should already have, and for free (with the exception of the lucky 3 winners who get a couple of dollars worth of diamonds). It's like asking artists to submit work for free under the guise of a competition, with the winner being the only one paid for their work. If you want guides for game content, you should obviously have better information more readily available.
An example of this is the Ancient Wonders - when first unlocked in the tree there should be an information box about them in game, or a tutorial pop up. It is a completely new game mechanic that is not explained in the least, and for any players not aware of the wiki or the forum (and there are many because you don't link to them on the landing page or make them obvious to find) it would be very confusing.
The same goes for the combat mechanics. In the early game, you learn very little about the combats, and it wasn't until after I'd stumbled across an unrelated post on the forums that I learned that the placement of your troops in the battle have a large effect on their success. Your tutorials need to be more comprehensive, and available at the click of a button.
My point being, rather than asking the community to create your content for you, perhaps actually explain your mechanics better in game, or have clearer, easier to find information available to players.
I think both of you have gotten the idea behind the competition all wrong and what is being attempted with hosting something like this.
...The wiki provides sufficient information about the combat system, even information about the troops - ...
There have been players who have written such content already to help others and I don't see a problem with making it official in form of a competition. At the end we will all benefit from using such accurate guides.
Nicely put.Guides on how to win are perfectly fine to run competitions for.
Guides on how to play are just plain lazy.
Guides being required to explain basic parts of the game shows neglect.
