Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 9/13/22
Update 09/13/22
Alright, time to crank out another map. As we are getting closer to NHSD over in here in Texas, I'm trying to get a few more maps up and out there. Here is the latest little guy that we've been running over at my place. Map: Cinder Date Uploaded: 09/13/22 Requires: 1 RotV, 1 FotA, 1 VW Dignan's Maps - Dignan's Multiplayer Maps

FYI, there was a small error in the Cinder build instructions. I was missing a hex on level 4. Luckily Gamebear caught it. I've updated the file now.

Awesome looking map, Dignan!
You know, with all the VW maps you have, I'm shocked you can still find more fire-related titles to use! |

Thanks. And yeah, I'm running out of fire-based names. I'll have to start looking elsewhere here soon.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 9/13/22
This is my attempt to address the objections of the WoS judges (below) to Cage Match
Spoiler Alert!
TL;DR:
To address these issues I raised the road so that is level 3 all the way around the entire map. I also removed Thorian and Astrid as hard-coded glyphs for the map, suggesting they be replaced with other strong glyphs instead. I also removed the swamp water dip along the outside edge of the map, making it easier to go around the sides. As part of making the road level 3 all the way around, I also removed the level 4 road on the outer edges and replaced it with a single hex on level 4 in the middle of a 7-hex shape of road and sand. To implement the various level-raising changes I did have to bring in a couple of extra 2-hex snow tiles. These are placeholders--I imagine most collections have some extras, since I know there were some waves that included extra tiles in booster packs. If no extra tiles are available, I believe that some leftover wall bases (of which this map leaves several) would also do the trick. Finally, I removed a few battlements and added multiple ladders to make the map easier to traverse for melee armies. -- We'll be using this version at our next several events to see how the changes play out. I did use a similar version at our previous event and liked the way the changes felt while staying true to the spirit of the map. If @dok or @Foudzing would care to comment on these changes, I would appreciate their feedback. -- But first, what do *you* think, @Dignan ?

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 9/13/22
Man, that looks pretty good. You've really taken their feedback and found good solutions with the map. It looks like you have kept the original idea behind the map intact and made it for fair from a tournament perspective.
Cage Match was always more of a novelty map from my perspective. I enjoyed it, but I knew it wasn't going to be for everyone. It's glyphs and arrangement were going to keep it a little too spicy for the average event and some matches would just fizzle. I really like how you've worked to make this map more universally consistent in its play. The only thing that is a possible negative is the glyph change. If you don't ensure that the center glyphs are the most powerful, the action on the edge could pull too much and lead to some less than stellar game play. Otherwise, great job.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 9/13/22
Thanks for the feedback. I really love the novelty of this map and I hope these changes make it good enough to start seeing regular tournament play. I really like seeing the bounds of what can be a tournament map pushed. Along the same lines it was Grutsbane Pass that inspired me to make Thaw, and I'll be playing around with that concept some more in the future.
I'll add a note about putting the strongest glyphs in the center of the map to the build instructions.

I've never made an overhead before but I know that when you have the .hsc it is fairly straightforward? If you don't want to do it perhaps we could ask someone like superfrog to do it? I'm glad you like the look of it!

Yeah maybe, or maybe superfrog is bothered by other stuff I dunno. |
