Hmm, I d say a map can only apply for a maximum of 2 categories, the mapmaker may decide which ones. To prevent people making maps that serve as many categories as possible ("I modded the health of the MAD tank so it's also a modded map!")

What about maps that were made earlier? I guess they are disallowed, because if they're already on the resource center they're no longer anonymous. But would that be checked? Pardon if I missed the info on that, but I didn't notice anything specific.
Also maybe you should add a clause like, all maps should me made to work with the latest release version?

Hello libbmaster,
Your screenshots should be located at:
Documents>OpenRA>Screenshots>ra>release-20151224
The optimal way to get a picture of your whole map is to simply open it in the map editor and choose the furthest zoom level and snap a picture. This may not work so well with all maps however.
So get your map out there

Yes, I will delete all maps and people may reupload them under their own names. Credit where credit is due.

Up to you! There's not alot of harm to do it as the biggest 'risk' is that if it's there to long one of the jurymembers and/or the public know it's your map. Personally I dont really look around on the resourcecenter, so I wouldn't see it.
And you can also test it against AI, as you ofcourse know.

The maps must work in the latest official release (v. 20151224).
When it comes to multiple maps.. people have to make sure they're good! One can upload 10 maps, but if they are low effort maps then another person who has made 1 awesome map might have more chance to win actually. In the end it is indeed a contest for fun with some nice maps as a bonus.

Yes I know. The AI thought my map was OK, but it preferred a map with less features, and all the ore close to it's initial spawn.noobmapmaker wrote: ↑ And you can also test it against AI, as you of course know.
I also don't care if people submit 10 maps, but maybe submitting only 1 map for each category would be a compromise?

I didnt know there was a new playtest and now understand what you meant with the map formats. If im correct we are able to fix maps from the old versions when I upload them to the resource center and parse them.
So everyone can keep making their maps in their old version, unless it is a very complex mission or something, but I hope that kind of problems will not happen or in just 1 or 2 cases.
As for the multiple maps issue. Ill just keep an eye on it. If a person really starts swamping the competition ill just have a talk and ask to select a top-5 or something. I try not to add to many rules as that could limit creativity/participation.
