Well, this one also has a Glyph issue. On the pdf, the glyphs are specified where one side is closer to attack, and the other closer to defense. Regardless, the fact that the glyphs are not placed equidistant from the startzones makes me cringe as outlined above. This map also seems like one likely to receive better reception from my with Glyph correction.

Thanks for pointing that out, bunjee. I hadn't really thought about it that way. I still think the map is fine for casual play, but for tournament play, you're absolutely right, and I will take that into consideration before ever nominating a map again.

Alright, I've made the required changes and would like to Re-Nominate Sunken Temple.


Requires:
1 SotM
1 FotA
1 RttFF
1 VW

Updated Build Instructions

That is so cool looking, Mooseman! I vote YES to review that beauty. (What it will play like, I've no notion yet; we'll see.)

Doesn't FOTA count as 2 sets?
He has 1SOTM, 1 FOTA, 1 RTTFF, and 1 VW. Isn't that going over the set limit?

No, you just can't have 2 FotA, they count as one!

I believe the rule is you can only use 1 FotA, as opposed to using 2 RttFF or VW for example.

EDIT: Beaten by seconds.

Yeah it is ok; you can have one Master and up to 3 expansions:

SECTION 1: Submission guidelines and tips


3. Maps are not to exceed 1 MS and up to 3 terrain expansions. No more than 2 expansions of the same type may be used in a map. There are exceptions; please note the special set classifications at the bottom of this section.

Classification of Heroscape sets:

• Master Sets: Rise of the Valkyrie, Swarm of the Marro*
• Expansions: Volcarren Wasteland, Thaelenk Tundra Road, To The Forgotten Forest, Ticalla Jungle, Marvel Heroscape**, Fortress of the Archkyrie**

*Swarm of the Marro is a hybrid set. It can be counted as a MS or 2 expansions.
** No more than one of these sets may be used in a single map.

My concern is the nomination says ROTV but the build clearly has SOTM.

After looking at the Map, It is just a misprint. It uses SotM instead of RotV, he must have had something else on his mind when he posted. I looked at the build instruction, and it only uses SotM, no RotV

That looks phenomenal Mooseman. Can't wait to try it out. I even featured the previous version in my most recent blog (see the link in my sig).

Another question I have, is can you put battlements on Swamp Water!

Sorry, I'll fix that.

Great question. I think the answer is no (and I changed my mind on that while writing this post).

That seems to indicate that Water is a tile and is hex-shaped, and thus attaching a battlement to it is valid. However:

This would imply that the tile the Battlement is connected to has a height of 1, like grass, rock or sand. So I think we have to interpret the "hex-shaped tiles such as grass, rock or sand" part in the first rule I quoted to mean: "hex-shaped tiles with a height of 1 such as grass, rock or sand". Otherwise we would have to figure out how movement over a battlement works.

So I'm really sorry, but it seems Mooseman's sunken temple map might still be illegal...
