Thanks! I got some advice from Gamebear(Mapbuilder extraordinaire) Via Pm,SO I should hav a slightly revised version up soon.

[boromir96]

I have revised Highland road. I moved the ruins in the start zone so the Hive could fit, move the Glyphs so a 2 spacer could stand on them, and pretty much took out an entire level on the sides.
Feedback is appreciated!

That picture just makes that map look epic! I'm going to play on it after I get one more game in on the map from my battle report (which should be up tomorrow). I'll make a report for it in my thread so if you want to know how it plays, look there in the coming week!

[boromir96]

Cool! Glad you like it so much, Maybe I'll get your vote!

Highland Road is a good looking map. I like how you captured the feel of a bridge, without actually having one.

My one concern (without having built it) is the imbalance of the glyphs. If they could be shifted 2 spaces alobg the edge of the map towards the middle there would be a lot less worry about drawing mismatched glyphs. You'll need four single hex tiles to build up the edge of the map a bit to maintain glyph access for double-space units, but if you have them available, or can free them up, I think that little change will make this map even stronger.

What do you mean by Imbalanced? are you saying you've wasted a lot of time if the glyph stinks? If so, It only takes 2 turns for a 4,5, or 6 move figure to capture it, and even if it stinks, you're extremely close to the Highest point on the other persons side. Thanks for the feedback!
