 +===== Guidelines for Submitting Maps =====
 +
 +  * Make a fun map that **you** enjoy playing, then share it with the community. 
 +  * No explicit images or concepts. Violating this rule will result in a ban on future map uploads. 
 +  * No content that is offensive, contains offensive symbolism((historically charged symbols, often associated with divisive ideologies; contentious periods; or drug use references)), or excessive use of strong or foul language ((Typically, this means do not use words that wouldn't be allowed on US broadcast television)). This rule is not debatable and is interpreted by the admins and moderators. 
 +  * No maps that are intended purely for obtaining an achievement, no do-nothing maps, instant-win maps or maps that complete without player input.

 +===== Getting Started =====
 Custom maps can range from simple to very complex. The map maker can change or create the terrain, Choose specific map textures, overlay terrain with images and more. Additionally, there can be custom units on the map, both as enemy units and as player units. Player units can further be either pre-built or can be assigned to a build slot so the player decide when, where and if they get used in completing the mission. Custom maps can range from simple to very complex.
