Hello fellow Heroscapers this is a map I have designed for 1 v 1 play, it is 100% symetrical too

Here's the map in a direct image form, for people who don't want to download it:




I have to say, the map looks pretty good. I like the use of walls as LOS blockers, and the central tower is a nice touch.

The start zones might be a bit small, and I suggest connecting both ends of the roads so that melee units can get across quicker.

Nice job

I like it! Nice use of LOS blockers.

However, I would recommend a few things. First off, it seems a bit narrow. Widening the middle would help with this as well as adding glyphs to the sides (if you add to them). Also, you should add additional spaces to the SZ... 24 is standard procedure.

Good luck and enjoy mapmaking!

P.S. It will attract more attention to your thread if you paste the image into the page.

Actually, I personally love narrow maps. Maps seem to be naturally advantageous to ranged attack, therefore the mapmaker's challenge is to aptly bring down that advantage and increase the advantage of melee so they are fairly equal. Narrow maps increase the 'clog' factor of the battle, making engagement far more common and making it harder for ranged dudes to snipe and run or camp in the corner.

Kindof...? 95% of ranged armies won't be running solely range, they will be running an excellent melee blocker(dividers, reavers, WoA, Gladitrons, etc.) and narrow maps allow for said blockers to lock down the entire map much easier.

A few small suggestions:

1: Widen the map at the center. This is where most play is taking place, and with the battlements there are 2 choke points on the outside. Adding some elbow room to the edges can go a long way.

2. The road from the starting zone is useless in 9 cases out of 10. Figures will never recieve a road bonus on the 2nd turn of the game, as they will land on the road on turn 1 and run out of road on the second. IMO I would move the road so that it is 4 or 5 move from the starting zone so that the +3 move can be fully used.
