Definitely intriguing, though, and I'm interested enough to add them to my (very long) list of maps to try out.

Mountainside (love well-done single master set maps) and Impasse are especially high up on my list. Hopefully I'll get to play on them soon -- if so I'll let you know how they go!
Thanks man. Yeah I really like asymmetry, even if it's just slight. There's not enough asymmetrical maps out there imo, so I want to make as many as I can. There will be a fair share of symmetrical ones, too (ie - Hideout, Breach, Impasse).

I feel like you need to do that a lot of times when you are working with VW maps. There are often a lack of LoS blockers, so I think making some with raised Volcarren is the way to go, as long as you compensate enough for melee. You can do this with non-Volcarren terrain too but it's much much harder to make sure it's not a dominating dragon perch(es).

Mountainside is of my favorites I've made so far. Impasse is fun, I like how it really feels you're at a standstill (hence impasse) with your opponent.
