6. There will be 4 main game modes: Challenge, Free Style, Team Challenge, and Alt-Earth
   • Challenge: as seen in the AH wiki, its a basic Map contest in which you are given a POD and you begin making the TL and map game from that said POD.
   • Free Style: Essentially showing off the maps you've had or made in certain categories to be determined later on. Earth Maps only.
   • Team Challenge: Essentially the same principle of Challenge but instead allowing several users to work in one map and concept over the TL (both earning the title of winner if their map is chosen)
   • Alt-Earth: Essentially this mode centers around the concept of the best map made out of scratch on the regards of a totally new world that aren't completely based on earth.
7. All maps must have a basic timeline, as in regards of how the map may explain the political development of said map, including the Alt-Earth Maps.
