Map Making Contest
As in previous seasons we are having a community map making contest. The winning submission will feature as one of the maps in the map pool for RAGL S18 and (prize pool permitting) there will be a prize for the most popular map (roughly 15% of the prize pool).
Maps can be made for the current release, or for the playtest. If you use the playtest then you can also make the most of all the new map-making tools available. Once you have something you're happy with then upload it to the Resource Center (note that it takes a day to activate your account) and then post a link in this thread.
The relevant section from the rulebook:
Prize Pool Contributions4.2.4: There will be a vote for the community's favourite map before RAGL, this map will be automatically included in the pool. Maps must be submitted by 2026-10-08.
4.2.4.1: Map submissions should be made in this thread or in the #map-making channel of the OpenRA Competitive Discord server,
4.2.4.2: Up to two maps per mapmaker

4.2.4.9: Any mapmakers who vote will receive 3pts bonus on all maps they submitted
4.2.4.10: The map with the highest score will win. If two maps are tied on the same score then the tiebreaker will be number of people who gave it a score (including bonus points). If the maps are still tied after this then the map with the lowest resource centre id wins (as shown in the links below).
4.2.4.11: If there are fewer than five map authors then the map contest will not be run, but some of the maps may be included in the map pool.
