I think a total of two (Stygian Rift & Dance of the Dryads).

I don't know how @Ninja Status knew that off the top of his head.

Looks like I should bring DotD to the next local tourney then...

We expect you there on September 6th, @Typhon2222 .

You mean, besides the fact that they are two of the top BftU/VW maps out there?

@rudyvalentine was the one who asked for the map to be reviewed by the BoV and rightfully so, that tournament was a fun one and quite a few people got to play on the map (including myself) and enjoyed it. Certainly a deserving additional to the Battlefields of Valhalla.

~HS2010, congratulating @Typhon2222 on another great map induction. :cheers:

Congratulations @Typhon2222!!! I really enjoy this map and it was fun to watch the evolution. So many choices and options with road, shadow, height, and heat. Very fun board and I'm so excited it's finally inducted!!!

[Typhon2222]

@heroscaper2010 , thanks for the kind words. And @rudyvalentine , for the initial nomination -- and for all the feedback and constructive criticism you provided on the map before that. This baby is partly yours.


When it comes time to adding it to the roster, I wonder if I could ask the judges to post this image and PDF of the map instead? (Same map, just a prettier pic.)

Uses: 1 BftU, 1 RttFF, 1 VW

Thanks, Typhon. We'll make it official and add it (in the form you request here) to the roster soon. Congrats!

This map has been tested thoroughly, it has gone through numerous edits and IMO, shows promise. So, I though I'd ask the BoV to have a look at it. I appreciate any feedback given.

Maybe it was a bad time to post this right when DotD was inducted...

[Typhon2222]

Any chance of getting Dance of the Dryads added to the roster, worthy ones?

Thanks for the nomination, Ninja Status. I appreciate the many people who take the time to make and share maps. Fun stuff.

At a glance, this looks a bit range-dominant. It also doesn't strike me as offering a lot of unique play, though I could well be mistaken. (I didn't think Dance of the Dryads looked that interesting, and decided I was wrong after testing it.) I like the glyph placement and general aesthetics of the map. Seems the road bonus would not happen often (nearly always better to grab some height).

I am sure I could have fun playing on it, but I am not seeing a compelling reason to review for BoV. If this ever gets use at a tournament or something, I'd be interested to hear any feedback it gets, but for now I vote No to review.

Maps pending acceptance for review:

Through the Godswood by Ninja Status

It's tough to effectively block enough line of sight with a single RttFF set. This map is a little too open for my taste and the perches dominate the glyphs. I think this one is a little too favorable for ranged armies. I vote NO to review.
