Typhon2222's Maps — updated Caldera (April 22).

[Typhon2222]

Welcome, gentlefolk, to my map thread.

You'll find one BoV map here (Stygian Rift), along with my other stuff.

Three of them — The Borogoves, Song of the Walrus, and Stygian Rift — can be played online.

Uses: 2 BftU, 1 TJ



______________________________________________________________________

Tatooine. Desert planet of sand and rock, where a few hardy settlers eke out a harsh existence amidst the watelands on their moisture farms. Using moisture vaporators, they collect precious molecules of water from the arid atmosphere and pump them into underground chambers where, protected from the scorching heat of Tatooine's twin suns, crops can be raised. But who will defend them as the arm of the Empire grows longer?....

Designed as a competitive BoSS map, with standard 24-hex SZs (coterminous with the large dungeon plates, for easy visual reference). Glyphs mark the all-important water vaporators, on which life depends, while surrounding pools of shadow, protected from the sun, represent the subterranean chambers of the moisture farms into which the precious liquid flows.

This map tries to make the most of limited terrain, while still evoking the landscape of Tatooine. Figures with Force Leap will find lots of options for leaping over rock outcrops and maneuvering between the shadows and perches.


Designed for the HoSS Map Contest.

YAR'S REVENGE
(accepted for review by the Maps for Noobs)
Yar's Revenge was an early video game designed for the Atari 2600 in 1981, which challenged the player to blast holes through the circular walls of a space castle. The blasted walls of this map reminded me of the game.
Designed to use only the two sets still widely available — Dungeon and Fortress — for players who might be new to the game and don't have access to older terrain.
Uses: 2 BftU, 1 FotA

YEA THOUGH I WALK....
(accepted for review by the Battlefields of Valhalla)
Whatever you think of the Bible, you gotta love the archaic verbal rhythms of the King James Version. Here a line from Psalm 23.
Uses: 2 BftU, 1 VW

MARGINAL GAIN
The name is a silly pun. Is gaining the margins of the map worth it, or only a marginal gain?
Uses: 1 RotV, 1 TJ, 1 VW, 1 RttFF or FotA (for road/wall-walk tiles only)

I think you're posting the images wrong.

If you right click on the picture, go to properties, and highlight and copy the URL, then you can type in [IMG]URL HERE[/IMG] to post the pic.

For example,

The top has stars to stop the pic from showing.

I used no corner or straight segments — only end ones.
