Here's a challenge for you: 2xMtCB, 1xFotA, 1xVW

Okay, caps, here it is. I'm calling it Areopagus.

I love it!

Three new maps to put in the OP here:

First is Wingspan, with a new center that Flash and I workshopped in response to some momentum concerns by OEAO. There's a few other changes like shifting the shadow and bringing the glyphs in, but by and large it's the same map.

Next is Throughline which was built in response to a request from Matthias Maccabeus. I don't often work with such a small terrain requirement, so this was a fun one to figure out how to do in a superfrog style.

Last is Succession, my second entry into the ScapeCon III map contest. Somewhat similar to Slalom but I think it has its own flair.

------------------------------------------------------


Wingspan build instructions. It uses 1 SotM, 1 BftU, and 1 TJ, with 2 random glyphs.


Throughline build instructions. It uses 1 SotM and 1 RttFF, with 2 random glyphs.


Succession build instructions. It uses 2 M:tCB, 1 TT, and 1 TJ, with 2 random glyphs.

Open to feedback on any of these as always

After editing Wingspan yesterday I decided to see if I could pull off a 2 BftU version of Wingspan. I think I succeeded, I'm calling it Canary:

This looks like a real winner to me! One of the best 2xBftU 1xTJ maps I've ever seen. May even prefer it to my Borogoves.

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere and I missed it but can you please post the updated build instructions for Calida?

Canary looks gorgeous, @superfrog , and I really enjoyed my game on it.

Given how flat — and protected — it is through the center, rushing your melee units straight down the middle to sack ranged opponents in their SZ is more than viable, and a lot of fun.

I want to get some more games on it with other units, but so far I really like it.

Made a slight update to Canary.


I raised one level 1 space around the glyph area to level 2, and rearranged some shadow slightly. This required stealing 2 hexes from the SZ which have been replaced by water.

Also a slight update to Blackberry.



Got 4 road hexes raised to level 2, which makes the 7-hex off to the left of the SZ a little less commanding of a position.

I'm digging Canary, this new version especially!
Here are two shots of it, built with my custom terrain.
