Ah, I meant to look over the playtests and vote, but now I'm too late by like three days.

I would have voted Yea though and this passes on time!

Again, I'm not thrilled about the asymmetry, but it didn't seem to affect gameplay much, so I'm alright with it. Looking at it, though, the single ice/water spaces off in the distance... I can't say I'm a fan. It's another example of asymmetry, and the only reason anyone would ever step there is to take advantage of ice/water bonus - and in the off chance they would, the decision of start zone would have an impact, and that's something to avoid. I'd recommend removing them.

Otherwise I'm good with the map as-is. Looks nice - a bit bland, perhaps, but with the sets involved that can't be helped. The icy "core" is pretty awesome.

I think it is good to have asymmetrical maps (even though this one is only slightly so) for those that like it. Also, there is a single ice on one side and a single water on the other. I was my intention to have that be a spot where people could place glyphs if they wanted.

Ya know what, I just realized I built this map wrong. I put a rock single hex where that ice single hex should be. They are similar colored though, so an easy mistake to make, I guess. Sorry for the mistake. That area was never used in my map tests, so I don't think it would have affected my results. I like this map even more know.

My mistake in the set up for this map seems to have stalled the Final Editing.

I am very sorry to see this happen, I honestly don't think my error would have affected my test games on it though.

This really is a great map. What can I do to help this pass? So that we can get it passed and out to the testers.

I have no problem with the map as built save for the tiny water/ice corner bits, which I feel are an unnecessary bit of assymetry that only really function - outside of possible house-ruled Glyph pits - as start zone imbalance.

It's not enough for me to stop the map if no one else considers it a problem, but I'd feel better without them, personally.

[Taeblewalker]

I'm pretty happy with the map as is.

Since this has been dead the past few days, this map will be used in Week 2 for the League to give you guys some feedback.

Cool. It really just needs a PDF generated for it, so maybe we can squeeze one out of A3n before we start playing. That way we can test the build instructions.

I'll squeeze it in when I can. Wish it was bumped over the weekend, I would have had it done .

I'm making the top view from the VS file, so I don't need a PDF, but one would still be nice.
