Age of Annihilation Map Contest CONGRATS FLASH_19!
 

Age of Annihilation Map Contest

With Renegade’s announcement of the first wave of Age of Annihilation, we also got a welcome surprise of all the terrain components for the Age of Annihilation Master Set, Battle for the Wellspring Battle Box, and Laur Jungle terrain set. Due to this, it’s time for a map contest, so we have some competitive maps to use as soon as we get the physical maps in hand!


You may submit up to 2 maps for this contest.

The 1st map MUST be any of these combinations:

1x AoA
1x AoA, 1x BftWS
1x AoA, 1x LJ
1x AoA, 1x BftWS, 1x LJ

The 2nd map can follow the same rules above, or may be any one of these combinations:

1x AoA, 2x BftWS
1x AoA, 2x LJ
2x BtfWS
2x BftWS, 1x LJ
2x BftWS, 2x LJ

Here is the list of terrain for each set:

Age of Annihilation Master Set:

• 6 24-hex Grass tiles
• 4 7-hex Grass tiles
• 2 3-hex Grass tiles
• 6 2-hex Grass tiles
• 10 1-hex Grass tiles
• 2 24-hex Rock tiles
• 2 7-hex Rock tiles
• 1 3-hex Rock tiles
• 5 2-hex Rock tiles
• 4 1-hex Rock tiles
• 2 7-hex Sand tiles
• 1 3-hex Sand tiles
• 5 2-hex Sand tiles
• 4 1-hex Sand tiles
• 20 1-hex sparkly blue water tiles
• 7 Laur Ruins Walls
• 8 Single Laur Ruins Wall Connectors
• 8 Laur Ruins Wall Connector Bases

Battle for the Wellspring Battle Box:

• 2 24-hex grass tiles
• 3 7-hex grass tiles
• 2 7-hex rock tiles
• 3 3-hex grass tiles
• 2 2-hex rock tiles
• 4 1-hex grass tiles
• 2 1-hex rock
• 3 sparkly blue water tiles
• 7 wellspring water tiles
• 2 Laur Jungle Trees

**Note that the BftWS lists 6 water tiles. However 3 of those belong to Ewashia, so they are not available for map building.**

The Grove at Laur’s Edge (Laur Jungle)

• 3 Laur Jungle Trees
• 6 Laur Jungle Bushes

**The Laur Jungle terrain is larger than Ticalla Jungle, and also more effectively blocks Line of Sight.**

VirtualScape Proxies

VirtualScape is not set up for Laur Walls or Wellspring Water, so we will have to proxy them unless you make custom VS tiles.

• Laur Ruin Connectors+Bases can be represented by Uncapped Castle Walls+Bases
• Uncapped Castle Bases cannot be used for terrain supports, as we don't have the Laur Ruin Base designs and thus may not be suitable for support.
• Laur Walls w/Connectors can be proxied with a RotV ruin jammed between 2 Castle Walls. You will intentionally overlap them in VS.
• Wellspring Water can be represented by Ice Tiles.

Wellspring Water Rules

Shared by Rowan on the Renegade Discord, edited for clarity:

**Wellspring Water rules are optional and therefore must mention if they are active or not (still use Ice Tiles for Wellspring Water locations in case someone wants to use the rules anyway)**

SUBMISSIONS:
Submissions should include a display image (ideally a 3D VirtualScape rendering) and build instructions

DEADLINE:

April 14th, 2024.

VOTING:

Winner will be chosen by Public Polling

PRIZES:

None this time, sorry!

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

The parts list shows 7 laur walls but how many of each size? My prediction is 2 large 4 small and 1 "ruined" wall.

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

We'll be getting that information shortly from Lee Hoff.

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

Thanks for setting this up! Are we submitting to you in PM or here in the thread?

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

In this thread.

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

Lee Houff confirmed on Discord yesterday that the wall terrain included in the Age of Annihilation is:
8 pillars
4 small wall connectors
1 large wall connector
2 broken wall ends
I have attached a picture of what that looks like (picture taken from Discord. Uploaded by Skywale)

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

I am... incredibly underwhelmed by that distribution of walls...

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

I see one wall panel?

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

There has been a wall pack hinted at that we assume would make it equal to or more than the AH campaign. Probably announced for Wave 2 in June?

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

It looks like it would be a similar size to the RotV master set ruins, like the section of wall shown in the top left.

This makes sense, thanks Sheep!

Re: Age of Annihilation Map Contest
 

So it’s giving us a taste of the walls. Like the Battle box gives you a taste for the trees.
