The maximum number is so that people don't go overboard with this. This is also about quality, not quantity

 I must be really slow I have had pieces that take me up to 20+ hours to complete and get looking the way I want. Which is probably why I have not done a map. I would finish in about three years.

I guess it depends on the user. I can create a pretty good looking map in short time. When I go to try an make an object (something I shy away from at all costs) it takes me forever. Remember making a map is really a matter of composition. It's the difference between page layout and writing all of the text.
My map-making starts stretching out when I need to make or find custom pieces; when I am struggling to remember where I buried some art piece in my not very organzed art files; when I'm rendering for export or print; or when I start trying to do shading or lighting effects on top of a bunch of layers of cover or objects. On that last I've resorted to Photoshop because it is a lot easier.
I guess that I find making a map a lot quicker than creating an object. However given the ration of art creation to map creation, I may be a minority.

The objects for my competition map probably took 3-hours
to put together....and then only 1/2 hour in Dundjinni.
I am probably an exception....but I chose to do a battle map sized map (8x10) and a very simple layout and theme.
I find that big dungeons or town scenes are the toughies....
I suggest small and simple is best.....just like me....

Maps made Dundjinni size and style, using Photoshop for "assembly."
Curious as to whether or not I can enter some of my ship maps into the current contest.

No response doesn't mean no.
Anyway - enter the maps just giving a note as to what portion was DJ and what was post work.
I'll be using a lot of photoshop in my map anyway.
Rules are being bent left right and centre - multiple map entries etc - so just be honest as to what extra work was done and all will be ok.
