General Rules
- Create a map based on a historic location or event from the Vietnam War. It does not need to be 100% accurate but should represent a location, landmark, or event.
- The map's dimensions should be a maximum of around 3,500 x 3,500 units (it does not have to be square — for example: 3,000 x 4,000). See references like mcv_siege, mcv_outpost, mcv_depot.
- The map must be compatible with Team Deathmatch. Additional setups for small-scale Conquest and Capture the Flag are welcome. (Check reference)
- You are not allowed to submit work from anyone other than yourself or your team (including assets from other games).
- Please follow our art direction and respect our general Hammer unit preferences. For guidance, you will find plenty of references in the provided mcv_<map name>.vmf files. (Military Conflict - Vietnam\sdk\mapsrc)
- Unfinished maps will not receive a prize but may still be considered for inclusion in the game at a later stage.
- Multiple people (teams) are allowed to work on one map. Multiple map submissions are also allowed, but a team can only win 1 prize.
- Join the official Military Conflict: Vietnam Discord server and request access to the map-contest channel and role.
