Rulebook Registrations Map Making Contest Schedule Weekly Highlights Standings

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:
4.2.4: 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

4.2.4.3: Maps do not have to be new, but may not have featured in previous seasons of RAGL

4.2.4.4: Voting will open once map submissions have closed.

4.2.4.5: Voting will close on 2026-10-15.

4.2.4.6: Voters assign 3pts, 2pts and 1pt to three different maps (it is not allowed to vote for fewer than three maps)

4.2.4.7: Votes are final at the point they are seen by TTTPPP and cannot be changed after this

4.2.4.8: Mapmakers can't vote for their own maps

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.
Prize Pool Contributions

To make a donation to the prize pool:
5.2.1 Donations to the pool should be sent in Euros or US Dollars via PayPal to mm_openra@protonmail.com (milkman). Name or a request to remain anonymous is to be stated in 'Write a note' section.

5.2.2 PayPal charges conversion fees for payouts in a different currency than the donation. Conversion fees for payouts will be drawn from the respective prize money rather than the entire pool.
All Submissions

BI-5.6R versions of all maps can be found here.
