Re: Tournament Map Feedback Thread
Olympus (RainyDays)
This is, at least preliminarily, one of my favorite maps with this set combo. I really like the stone 3-hex on level 3 with the level 4 lava single perch. The lava 2-hexes are also nice. I do think this map could be opened up and improved by changing these 5 lava field hexes highlighted below to rock (or at least the central 3). I have not checked how possible this change is, but I think it would draw play out to the top side just a bit more than currently happens. Edit: I checked and was able to switch those central 3 without changing anything else. Last edited by superfrog; February 15th, 2024 at 05:39 PM. |

OHS56 maps:
Alien Underbrush @OEAO I really think this is a map that falls in the "can be very good but requires the TO to really care about it" category, but if the TO make a slight mistake in glyph choice or if the format doesn't really fit with the map this is a map that can be frustrating to play as melee vs range. Mt Olyumpus @RainyDays Super well executed mirror symmetry map, very dynamic everywhere, loved it! Only change I would make is I agree with superfrog, I would widden the rock path on the right, having just 1 hex large path and being blocked by the glyph here doesn't feel great. I would change so there is at least1 hex large way from SZ to SZ without being forced to step on lava or glyph. |

Real Quick
Nothing in depth but I thought it should be noted.
Compact - I think a ranged pod army could set up on one of the sides and make life incredibly difficult for a melee army. Not sure how big of an issue, but observed it to some effect in my game on Sunday. ~Dysole, not ideal for this but wanted to throw up a flag My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long. This sentence is not seven words long. |

OHS56 maps:
Compact @superfrog I agree with Dysole I think the sides are too "abusable" by range esp low figure range builds, you may want to unclog them. Second point which is less problematic is one glyph being 6 move fly away and the other being 7 move fly away, this ended up to be quite important in my game as PKs were on the field. I think this can be problematic in live tourney games where you don't have much time to choose side, place etc. And being on the wrong SZ can screw you up a bit. Last thing the height are maybe siiiightly a bit too "your and mine I think the hill on your left is sightly easier to get on. Otherwise I liked the map a lot, the center is very nevigable a and ruins placement is clever. And the map is very melee friendly for a 1xRotV map. |

OHS56 maps:
Bad Moon Rising @GameBear Very exciting game on BMR, camping on the level 3 plateaus did not happen, imo that's a map that shines even more in lower tiered formats (draft, draft pod, lower figures). This map will still stay in my top 10 for a while. Black Ice by @Vydar_XLIII Hmmm not a terrible map but not a standing ovation neither, all the map saw play but it's kinda expected with small maps like that. The center was very strong, you really need very strong glyphs to not have like all the figure funnel in the center, and the level 4 perches where quite hard to attack into once you establish on them and most figures could get there in 2 turns, and most flying figures in one turn. Also they cover the glyphs very well. Last edited by Foudzing; April 17th, 2024 at 05:18 AM. |

Re: Tournament Map Feedback Thread
Interesting!
From those responses it seems as though the big winners were Nightfall, Flaxen Shard, and Dredgewood Forest. |

So happy to see Nightfall receive such praise — even if it didn't make it into the WoS. |

Re: Tournament Map Feedback Thread
OST7 maps:
Platypus: Good game on Platypus even tho I got destroyed by Chris, I feel this map really hold on to its "classic" reputation, different from most modern maps while still being very good to play on. Battlefield 23: @Flash_19 Well great great game on Battlefield23, all the map was used, very dynamic etc..etc.. Really a top top tier map. Embattled Fen @GameBear So I was very excited to play this game as it was my first time playing on Embattled Fen ever, and it's a map that always caught up to my attention, for its originality and the numerous features it proposes. And yeah I'm gonna be honest I was disappointed, in my mind melee rushing throught the fast swamp was an interesting strategy but in reality the swamp is still a speed bump (well more like a "speed hole") and is level 0, and also the gylph is blocking the way a bit and even if you make it through the swamp, the range opponnent is waiting on the level 2 sand plateau. Most of the fight happened on the road which is also kinda hard for melee to get good "contact surface area" and get more than 1 or 2 attacks of a turn. Wannok was never contested, I had a wannok absorber in Raelin so it was not worth for my opponnent to try to get it and it was not worth for myself to as I had the range advantage I really didn't need to go in the swamp. I was on the good side of the machup so I won my game handily. I think this could be a great map in some machups but in my opinion this map is very rough for melee. Ticalla Sunrise @GameBear Good game on Ticalla Sunrise even tho the whole fight happened in the sand area, I put the blame on @MegaSilver for the poor choice of glyph (Sola Astrid on sand side) and not on the map this time. I really think the sand glyph should be a rather weak glyph, and especially not a "damage" glyph like Sola Astrid. OHS57 maps: Gem @Cleon Third tournament game on Gem, feels good to have a new tournament map so original. Tho I still think this map is sightly too much range friendly, with the level 2 plateau right outside the startzone being a very good place to pod and the level 4 perches being good hexes to sit on and never move. My opponnent tried to mitigate that by hodling the Valda glyph but it's the glyphs are quite difficult to hold on this map so he wasn't able to keep it for long. As I had to deny the Valda glyph from my opponnent the whole fight happened on one side of the map and the other side wasn't used at all (first time in 3 games that happened, the other two games it played sightly more on one side but not that much). |

Re: Tournament Map Feedback Thread
Normally Ticalla Sunrise is supposed to have the unique attack glyph on the sand side, for what it's worth.
