caps' maps - 2023-02-25 updates:Cage Match Redux and Seagate

[caps]

I put together a new map.

Manor Ruins

Link to .pdf
Uses 1xRotV, 1xMarvel, and 1xFotA

I haven't had a chance to play on it yet. Maybe this weekend!

Inspirations for this map: Cage Match by Dignan and A Stone's Throw.

I like it! I get the feeling like games on that map will be absolute mayhem haha. I'm a sucker for split start zones

btw...this map would be perfect for an entry in the Ruins of Valhalla map contest we're holding...it even fits the build requirements.

Another map, but I'm skeptical that it's ready for primetime.

I like the split start zones, Cap.

Thanks. I hope they play well. I think split start zones should be nice for AotP vs Scape balance as well.

Hopefully I will get to try them soon!

Swamprat Circle just wasn't feeling right to me, so I made some slight revisions.

Spoiler Alert!

I wasn't feeling very good about Swamprat Circle as my second submission to the ongoing map contest, so I put this new map together:

Roundabout Marsh


Uses 1xSotM, 1xMarvel, and 1xRttFF

Very nice-looking maps on this page, Capsocrates.
Manor Ruin is especially intriguing!

Thanks H_E_H I'm glad you like them! Let me know if you get a chance to try Manor Ruin--I haven't played on it yet.

I have tried Roundabout Marsh once and enjoyed it. I'm curious if it will hold up to repeated plays or not.

Backstory:

Spoiler Alert!

Sgt. Drake slowed his stride. Raelin, the Airborne, and himself had been skirmishing with the Marro in these swamps for days now--hitting during the thinner mists of daylight and then running as the mists thickened and the daylight faded. Over the last hour, the hot muggy air of the swamps had given way to a biting chill. Now he knew why. Rising out of the mud before him was a glacier overlooking a frozen wellspring. To his right, frigid mist rolled out of the jagged teeth of a deep, snowbound cave. "Jackpot, boys; a wellspr--" he cut himself off to drop into a squat as he heard a marro battle cry in the distance. He glanced at Raelin, "Here we go again."

With this map I wanted to try to escape the shape and format I see in most maps these days. At the same time, I wanted to try something that was largely flat. I think the result has some real potential in the tournament scene and I find it very aesthetically pleasing.
