Typhon2222's Maps — updated Odin Wept & Apoc Now (3/12/2023)

[Typhon2222]

....and a version of Odin Wept that doesn't use battlements.
(To compensate, it slightly moves the central lava height.)

In response to feedback from @OEAO , I've revised Odin Wept. (Thanks OEAO!)
The glyphs and the adjacent areas are no longer on lava: glyph is now on water, and adjacent same-level hexes are on ice.

Just tweaked and updated this old map of mine.

Among other things, got rid of the molten lava — molten lava has become increasingly problematic with the advent of SoV/C3V units that can easily dunk figures in it. So it's been yanked.

Also shifted the central lava fields to make movement around the middle a bit more dynamic.

If you're looking for a map that uses only Swamp and Lava, you can probably do worse than this one.

And a toast to @heroscaper2010 and @greygnarl , who gave help with the first version of this map over a decade ago.

Thanks to @heroscaper2010 , we've got a spiffy new high-quality rendering of Odin Wept, as well as a board for online play.

I've just tweaked both Mome Raths and Mime Raths. Changes to both:

(1) Glyphs moved outward, so they no longer obstruct flanking moves around the big rock outcrops.

(2) The former LVL3 'bridge' of rock across the middle, which acted as a wall to forward movement, has been broken up.

And on Mome Raths: (3) The LVL2 rock double-hexer adjacent to the glyph no longer gets jungle coverage.

Here are the new versions:

I've revised Stigmata quite a bit, and am much happier with it.

• Area around glyphs now considerably more dynamic.
• Glyphs now on shadow, to mitigate their more exposed position.
• Glyphs now more evenly spaced from each side: are 8/9. (Before were 8/10.)
• Easier development through the middle.
• Most importantly, there's now good reason to go right. (Before the map pulled strongly to the left.)

I have a map building challenge for you, Typhon... Build a tournament style map using *only* 1xRotV and 1xVW.

Cool challenge. I'd like to see that.

Particularly from Typhon, who is legendary for his hatred of grass tiles. Can he cover all of them up (except perhaps for use in start zones)? I don't know; I can't wait to find out!

The real challenge is that he loves smaller terrain sets, as he want to use everything in the set. So, updated challenge for him!

@Typhon2222 use 1x RotV and 1x VW, but use ZERO grass tiles.

Trying to lure me to the dark side, are you, Caps?

Hee hee, you're too kind.
