Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread

If you want to get a crew together for this and start a different thread (sorry for muddying this one up) I highly encourage it and will look in to make sure that we're all on the same page from time to time.

I am interested, and for the others who follow the BoM, here is a chance to get in on some Comic action! Stay tuned for a new thread in the Comic Hero section regarding C3G Maps and Scenarios...

...and now back to our regularly schedule program.

It's time for some long due votes and involvement.

Skirmish Underneath the Park: There are only 2 minor flaws I can see. First is that there is sand on the road (I told you it was minor). The second is a little less minor. Double spaced figures are limited to the level they start on. This in my opinion is minor because it will provide an army building challenge to players in these 2 on 2 battles. This map is the best of the best and gets a Yes from me.

Museum of "VAASVW": I vote Yes to review this map. the name needs a little shortening but other than that is is good. (Seriously try saying it 5 times fast.) A better name might be Museum of Dangerous Artifacts or Museum of Villainous Artifacts.

Trouble at Scapecity Zoo and Wayne Manor: These I will look closer at after Darkseid's Arrival is done.

Also Spidysox has not been on for 31 days so he, unfourtinately, is no longer a judge. Sorry Spidy but it's in the by-laws.

For the record, I think the name is funny. That said, I have no problem whatsoever in changing it. "Jodokast's Museum" and "Marvel Museum" both jump to mind, though they are both dull. If you want to come up with something better, by all means go right ahead.

[IAmBatman]

I think that name is awesome and tongue-in-cheek hilarious! But I'm a casual observer in this thread, so take it for what you will.

[tom]

I agree with jodokast and IAmBatman, Museum of "Valuable Artifacts All Super Villians Want" is a great name for a great looking map. No need to change it. People will most likely shorten it on their own to something like the Museum anyway.

[spidysox]

Deleted cause I'm a dope.

[Vydar_XLIII]

Spidy, I don't want you off the team. So I re-read the by-laws and I found this.

SECTION 3: Self-governance
2. Judges will maintain their position unless:
a) They are not heard from by fellow judges on the official non-official Heroscape web site for a period of 31 days, or
b) They abstain for a total of three months or for three consecutive maps under review, whichever comes later.

You've been heard from by Pete. So I made a mistake and you are still a judge. You did however say you stepped down so it's your choice.

Sorry.

Yeah, what he said!

I hate being out of the loop.

[peteparkerh]

Checking in so I don't get kicked off.

Also, I have heard from Spidysox in the past 31 days.

Spidysox, I'm not letting you step down. I won't have anyone to play test these with.

Unfortunately, this was just me being a total dope and taking things to a stupid level that I should never have done.

I want to take a moment to apologize for acting like a dweeb. I do not wish to step down, I was simply writing without thinking and that was stupid and wrong.

Things are very busy in my life right now and unfortunately, I have little time for scape. Hopefully things will open up soon and I will get the opportunity to give this project some time. Until then I urge everyone to be patient and let things develop as they may.

Again, I apologize for my actions.

Hey all, I'm just dropping in to say please keep this thread going. I've been playing a lot with "under the el'" lately and I love this map.

Also I'm a big fan of my own version of the Sub Base map and I hope you all can tweak it enough to become a balanced BoM map (i think it needs to lose that double ladder tower entirely and provide additional ladder access on the other side).

Keep it coming guys!
