I have a question. What if I submit a conquest map and it end up looking like another persons submission, and i did not know of it and we basically made up the same map without knowing? Would I be disqualified? I ask this mainly because of the hundreds of people that are making conquest maps we are bound to get the same ideas.
Well technically speaking there could be thousands of entries, but from past experiences around 10-25 maps will be submitted (from my past) And if yours ends up looking THAT much like someones else's then you either got extremely lucky, or you made some parts together.
Don't worry about it. You have no way of knowing what others have made. So you can't be held accountable. Maybe, lose points on originality.
