Ask and yea shall receive (PDF posted in post above). It's a pretty big file so if space on my site becomes an issue it will be one of the first to go.

I used almost all castle tiles for the road, but you can obviously substitute RttFF tiles.

If I get another 2 castle, which will happen, I am a go for it, once my order comes, I can build it!!

Updated Jungle Corridor and Bunker Battle to comply with the Jungle rules (had several trees/bushes that did not connect to at least two other hex tiles).

Swamp Oasis

This is an adjusted version of Oasis which now complies with BoV restrictions (sort of).

I like the look of your Ticalla Jungle maps, however I have noticed a common trait in your TJ maps that has me a little uneasy. The locations of the glyphs are right near Brush or Trees, which gives the glyph holder a defense bonus. Glyphs should be placed in a location in which they will not receive other sort of benefits that they would already have. For instance, you usually don't place glyphs at the highest location of the map, or a place where, if someone has it, it will be incredibly difficult to take them down. The problem here is that, if a Deathreaver were to grab a glyph, and let's just say it is the defense glyph, and it is adjacent to a TJ brush, it will have a total defense of 6, and it will be incredibly difficult to get that rat off of that glyph.

You are a map making machine! (Yay, alliteration!)
The rate at which you are producing maps is astounding, and I don't know how you do it. And, most importantly, they are good quality maps that have a lot of potential. Keep up the great work!

ARGH! I had a whole post just get blown away by the BACK button... ugh!

OK, short version it is...

Thanks for the input Gomolka, much appreciated.

I usually prefer to place my glyphs at the low point on the map to keep it from stacking with terrain bonuses. Now we add in the jungle making more areas to try and avoid for glyph placement.

Not many good place on that map for glyphs (only other options is to put them on height or very close to the start zones), I actually don't care for how close the two of them are as well.

Guess this will make those melee squads that much more important.

Making a map or two has somehow turned into my bed time ritual, can't seem to go to sleep unless I play with some hexes first (I also design a map or two at work when I need a mental break from starting at code all day).
