Bio - On the far side of the Moon lies a base. Few people know of its existence and even fewer have ever visited. Is it a staging point for an alien invasion? Is it a secret headquarters for Earth's heroes to watch over us all? Perhaps it's both and they are up there now battling for the sake of all humanity!

Looks good so far. What do the shadow tiles represent? Are they just a shadow or is supposed to be a chasm?

[Taeblewalker]

I like it! I was expecting the Marvel tiles to represent light and dark areas of the moon, but I am cool with dungeon and shadow tiles. But do tell us whether the shadow is chasm or shadow!

I would also like to see several moon maps to go with this one, just like we have a number of city maps.

This is pretty cool, but what is the draw to the bottom. If I were playing here I'm flying straight to the top.

This feels like a bit of a rehashing of the Swamp Lab. If that is intentional, perhaps you could call this one the "Lunar Lab". If it isn't intentional, perhaps you could rethink your design a bit.

[Taeblewalker]

Maybe a crater would go nicely.

Hey, that could start a trend of us recreating some of our other maps but on the moon or in space instead.

[Good Pig]

I like the overall feel of the map. The general layout does remind me of Swamp Lab a bit, but not a clone or anything. To differentiate it a little you could shift the positioning of the base structure. I like the doorways on either side. Looks like a tunnel running underneath. I'm hoping you are planning on making use of the elevator DOs.

[Taeblewalker]

I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of water - perhaps a storage tank located inside the building. Water would be very precious on the moon! It could even be a victory condition of some sort, or a glyph could represent control of it.

[Griffin]

Water would be precious, but I don't think of Water when I think of the Moon.

Hey, does our moon have a name? All other moons do.

You can synch up Wizard of Oz while playing a game of C3G.

Our moon is named Moon. It's a capitalization thing.

I like it. I feel like there might be a tight squeeze in the tunnel area, though, and elevator lifts are a must, but I don't have any real problems with it. I do see the similarities to Swamp Lab, but it's such a different theme and scale that it doesn't bother me.
