The shape of the map and how there’s a straight shot with a single elevation change up on one side and a more zig-zagged path with a minimum of 2 levels up makes the spacing a bit larger than say an 8/9 or 9/10 split.

I'm doing something similar on a new map (called Stygian Ridge): 7 move to one glyph, 9 to the other, but compensated by the latter's more advantageous position.

New map! Liked the mirrored symmetry style so decided to go for another one with a terrain combination that has been difficult creating in other ways.

Snow Day
Requires: 2 M:TCB, 2 TT

*Slippery Ice rules apply.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Wrote that there's an optional T-Glyph but forgot to include it on the map. Place it between the Level 3 Ice spaces in the middle of the map.

Updated Descendant
Requires: 1 RotV, 1 RttFF, 1 FotA, and 1 VW


I am pretty sure everything is the same except with all 50 battlements added. The feedback from games played on Descendant was basically a concern for trapping your opponent in their start zone. Basically 5/6 move figures could use the central road to get a pretty strong position on your opponent's side in two turns. 6 move figures only could also fill the space between the double pillar and molten lava on their mid-right side in two turns. Now two turns with 6-move figures doesn't quite get you into any of your opponent's choke points.

How does this help you not get trapped? Doesn't this slow development down too? It shouldn't too much. I made sure with the battlement placement that 5-move figures could still get outside of their own choke points in two turns. If anything, it should make level 2 feel more valuable.

Enjoy!

Other maps can be found throughout this thread but have been removed from the OP to keep it cleaner and less loaded with pictures.

Move them back to the OP! Your pictures are fantastic, and your fans don't want to have to hunt through the thread to see them all.

Aww, thanks Typhon! Much appreciated! The pictures weren’t always fantastic (like, as of last week. lol) and the maps weren’t always much better. Most of the maps have made it back into the OP though and I’m working on the salvageable ones that haven’t.
