Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Another look at Calida
Hah, Morsbane....
I've gotta say, I don't think I'd dock a map because, at one particular spot, a Nilfheim negated by Morsbane might not be able to get adjacent to a tasty treat. |

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Another look at Calida
@awesomeunleashed
the reason they're 4/5 is to provide an ultimate height on the board. I like that a lot more than having several level 4 spaces as the highest.
Also, about the lava: if I made that switch, the lava would go up to level 2 on top of a seven hex. That would create a really easy lava dunk spot for Drow Chainfighter/Wyvern. There's already one of those spots, and it's purposefully hard to reach and use. I think I'll keep it how it is. @Killometer I can't really check in the Nilfheim thing, because I have no 'Scape with me at college. Even if I did, I don't own Nilf Like Typhon said, though, Nilf is a tough fit sometimes, and that's one of his weaknesses. I'm not feeling compelled to accomodate his bulkiness. |

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Aurora added 4/19
Aurora build instructions. It uses one RoTV and 2 RttFF, with one glyph of Astrid. I was toying around with this map with one road set, but I when I added a second one, it really came around. I'm pleased with how this turned out. As always, it's available for online play. |

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Aurora added 4/19
I haven't stopped by here in a while...
@kevindola was thinking about running a Scraps tournament for the next Classic League, so while I was making the online maps for those, I thought I'd give designing one of them a shot. The basic concept is that you take half a master set with one expansion, and make a small, asymmetrical map, used with small armies and a heat of battle-like format. Ash build instructions. It uses 1/2 RotV and 1 VW, with 2 random glyphs and 2 treasure glyphs. Here is the online board, with a summary of the Scraps rules on the side for convenience. |

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Ash (scrap) added 11/9!
Looks like a cool little format. In other news, your post for Ash alerted me to Aurora which I built last night and played a game of AoTP on today, I really liked it!

I would say this map should include ruins, but something there is that doesn't love a wall...

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Wilds of Valhalla map added 1/17
I had ruins in up until the end, but I felt they went against the "Wilds of Valhalla" theme. I think they would have helped it to play a bit better, so I might end up adding them back in. The other thing is that ruins are hard with bilaterally symmetrical maps (rather than rotationally symmetrical ones).

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Wilds of Valhalla map added 1/17
Looks good so far. My one main concern would be the single power glyph on the edge. While some maps do this by countering with elevation on the opposite side, it's been my experience that holding a power glyph for my armies has tended to give me more motivation to stick to controlling that side than holding elevation. This isn't always the case, but I've noticed it has limited the full use of a map for games where there was a single power glyph on the edge (but that can also depend on the power glyph, Dagmar for example wouldn't have the same affect as Gerda).

Re: Superfrog's Maps -- Wilds of Valhalla map added 1/17
Maybe I should specify the glyph... Like Lodin or Dagmar or another less powerful one.
