Regarding the use of RotV twice for both submissions...yes Bigga you are correct that according to our rules for the contest RotV currently can only be used in one of the submissions. Though, this is a point I think I’ll be bringing up in our private forum for discussion.

Thank you so much for your feedback @Sir Heroscape and @BiggaBullfrog ! I appreciate it very much.

While part of me aches a little inside to say it, yes, I agree with you about the Summoning glyph on Jandar's Summoning Circle. It's just so thematic! But you make a solid point. I will most definitely use it in casual games though. So if it's okay, I'l leave it in the build instructions, but make a note to remove it for tournament play - dependent of course on if the map is deemed suitable for tournament play.

I will most definitely get the back stories up - thanks for the reminder.

Glad to hear you both think the glyph of Gerda could be effectively used to replace Jalgaard on Ruins of Rennoc. I will make that change.

Lastly, that was kinda a downer about the use of master sets, but it is the rules so I'll create another map to submit unless you guys decide to change that rule. But, under the current rules, I would also not be able to submit the one I don't use to a future contest, correct? So of the two, which would you say is the better submission?

@Flash_19 feel free to submit both your maps per our change to the contest rules per this post.

That's very kind of you. But I've seen one of the maps you're submitting - and I liked it a lot. So I wouldn't put it that way. It'll be fun to see all the maps and what happens!

Those both look super awesome. I especially like summoning circle . great work on these.

Thanks Trex! You are a former ARV judge right? feel free to lay on any other feedback you might have. Bet I could guess the first one - you want me to incorporate Wannok into both of them, eh?

@Sir Heroscape and @BiggaBullfrog :

I've been tinkering with some changes to Ruins of Rennoc that I wanted to run past you.
(again - thanks for taking the time to repond to these requests for feedback)

Spoiler Alert!

Build Instructions
.hsc File

To give you a basic overview of what I've done:
- I added two pillars to the middle of the map replacing some molten lava tiles. I did this because after physically building the map, it felt just a little too open in the middle, so I wanted to give a little more cover without making the middle feel too congested. Because of adding the pillars, it makes a narrow spot between walls, that I'm personally not worried about, but I'm curious if you are. I feel like there is enough mobility around that narrow spot.
- Because of the added pillars, I adjusted some of the existing pillars slightly.
- I redesigned the part of the map that is just outside the start zone on the right side.
- I also filled in all the gaps in the ridge next to the start zone because I thought the gaps looked funny. Hopefully that's not a problem...

Would you mind pointing out the changes? I’m not sure I can see a difference...all I know is I liked your original a lot. Also include why you made the changes were made (cause I’d like to know if they were completely necessary.)

I'm not too worried about that choke-point with the new pillar. It was already a chokepoint because the space used to be lava, and you can only very slightly move through that more easily than a pillar. It's just more noticeable now. Overall I think your changes are probably good. I'll admit that I have a very mild preference for the original version, but that might be due to some kind of weird attachment, because I have absolutely no good reason to mildly prefer it.

My thoughts EXACTLY! Lol I was thinking that and can’t put my finger on it. I think part of it may be the aesthetics. I think without that extra pillar it makes it look a little “better” for some reason.

Haha thanks.
