Oh good then! I'm all about helping Zelrig. If you (general you, not nyys you) are worried about Zelrig, stop playing so many dang commons!

Started this one with the GenCon Map Contest footprint restriction and in the end went outside of it slightly. I've been enjoying the challenge of creating maps with little to work with of late.

This one's a beauty.

Thanks, I wanted something with very dense jungle, looks even better built.

I'm in the middle of a test game now, with the help of Frenzy the Venocs tore through a mess of Knights very quickly, but have now been systematically eliminated by the 4th. Three and a half squads of 4th left (along with Gilbert and two Knights) to fend off 3x Armocs and Mittens... TBC.

[nyys]

Finished the test game, and the Viper army crushed the Knight/4th army.

I chalk it up to the small footprint (which became even smaller when the Vipers grabbed the move glyph), and all the Jungle (not to mention a couple frenzy rolls). On more than one occasion the Vipers were rolling two defense dice, and the Armocs were just nasty when teamed with Mittens.

Though I'm still trying to figure out how the 4th were not able to kill as much since they were rolling as many as five attack dice at times.

For this game, the map played almost exactly how I envisioned it for the Vipers. Time to play that one again and then try some other combos.

I do like this one, it looks like a very fun map mostly because of its wideness. I am too used to seeing to many narrow maps, but this one looks great! +rep

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to nyys again.

Is it wrong for me to be singing 'Gangster's(Viper's) Paradise'?

[nyys]

Was singing it the whole time I was building the map.

Requires 1 RotV, 2 TJ
Glyph(s): Gerda (Defense +1)



Planing at least one more so I can call it the Viper Series. Playing on maps with extremely dense jungle has been a lot of fun lately.

EDIT 10/13/09: A change was made to the map due to a problem found concerning double spaced figures. The two sand hexes that used to be to the left and right of the 'glyph hex' were moved to the right/up one hex and replaced with a water hex (the ones the sand hexes took the place of) in order to allow for two double spaced figures to become engaged in the two hexes that immediately lead out of the water (lowest land hexes). Before this change a double spaced figure could stand on these land hexes and not become engaged by another double spaced figure. This is especially bad in the case of and end game scenario where a ranged double spacer (like Q9) is on those spaces and all the other side has is a melee double spaced figure remaining (like Charos).

nyys, just played a few games on Viper Valley, and it was awesome! It shows all the signs of a very thoroughly thought-out map.

[Darkmage7a]

I'll have to try that next time I get the chance. I prefer split stat zones when possible, Its one of the few lesser explored areas of the game I feel.

So if you plan it right Your snakes can have a 3 defense huh, Nice

Thanks Nadom, glad you enjoyed it.

Yep, With both of the Viper maps I've made thus far I built them with the idea in mind of entering 'their territory'... figured they should have a natural advantage.
