Re: Battlefields of Valhalla Discussion Thread
Wait! Is KCU Master's Inner Courtyard still up for nomination? Dignan is the only one who has voted on it so far. Sorry if the answer is something I overlooked. If so, forgive me.

Re: Battlefields of Valhalla Discussion Thread
Yes it is. And I'm patiently, yet eagerly, awaiting the decisions of a few others. It will stay nominated until the remaining four judges make up their minds.
1 yes to review makes me happy though. If it makes you feel better MM, KoW have taken the wall and the match many times My Map Thread My Battle Blog and Strategy Blog and Article Links. OVAH site. Sept. 19, 2010 - ITS A BOY |

Re: Battlefields of Valhalla Discussion Thread
I've played on Feylund Fountain many many times, YESto review. The rest in the queue will have to wait until after NHSD. I'm staring at 13 maps in my basement right now. Between the BoV and NHSD there's simply no more room for any more until after this weekend.

Re: Battlefields of Valhalla Discussion Thread
OK, for almost certainly the last time, I'm going to nominate a version of Swamp Helix, Swamp Helix 7.3.
In addition to the book I wrote back when I first nominated an earlier version, and the multiple comments I made along the way of the previous nomination process, there's a number of changes (see here, here, here, and here for the discussions that led to the evolution to the current form, and the arguments behind all the changes). To briefly summarize the changes since the last nominated version:
The clincher for me to re-nominate was the positive feedback I received at the Colorado NHSD event on the map. I was running the event, so I suppose it's possible that people were blowing some smoke up my butt, but the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One player (who picked up his first ever castle set from the prize table) was even asking where he could find the build instructions, which was so cool to hear. I'd like to close by saying that, acceptance, review, or no review, the process of fine-tuning this map for BoV consumption has made me a better map maker. I have, by my count, about 24 versions of this map on my hard drive. I learned a ton about map balance from the time I put in on Swamp Helix. So, a big thank you those who are responsible for the BoV - just by creating this institution, you inspire people to make better maps. Last edited by dok; October 19th, 2009 at 10:47 AM. |

Re: Battlefields of Valhalla Discussion Thread
That's quite the inspiration story, Dok! I do like this map a lot, hopefully it goes through well.

Re: Battlefields of Valhalla Discussion Thread
OK, KCUM2007 the comment about the knights storming the wall has me interested. I'll vote YES to review. I'm still very hesitant about castle maps. It's (usually) just a lot of movement for melee units to try and storm the wall while they're getting shot at multiple times in the process.
