Re: capsocrates' maps - Mulberry Bush and Posies added - 5/2
Capsocrates, as with most things, I'm not sure why someone would take my advice. You get what you pay for, when it comes to my advice about maps.
I like the idea of Mulberry Bush but the problem with that type of map is, again, the long sight lines. It looks very range friendly because the melee have to walk all the way around the hole to get anywhere. I like the idea of messing with voids in maps and I'm sure there are some around here that do it well but that's the trap you have to avoid. Anyway. I hope this helped. Keep up the good work. |

Thanks again for your input! I'd love to hear your thoughts on my updates--particularly I'd like to know if Reset looks more melee-friendly.

Again, probably not best to base a map's balance off custom rules. Quote:
Regarding your maps, at a quick glance Reset looks the most tournament ready, though the way the ruins guard the glyhs might change that depending on what's drawn. The new glyph postions on Helplessness Blues will help draw action all the way to the corners, but taking 3-4 turns to get to them requires quite a commitment. |

It should take exactly 3 turns for 5-6 move figures, less for figures with more move and/or flight. 4 move figures would take longer. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing (not that you're implying it is).

Re: capsocrates' maps - maps revised - 5/10
Any last minute suggestions before I submit this one? I tried to combine all the revisions I had made with what the original version had going for it. Reset

Re: caps' maps - updated 5/14
Map Review by the Uncompetitive & Inexperienced Map Critic for the map Pocket Full of Posies
This one caught my eye right-away because of the battle arena look and the speediness of the games that was obvious from first glance. And after playing three games on it, it's held up to those thoughts. Very nice looking map that immediately screams battle arena. The round shape with the spread out startzones and relatively small size makes great quick (but not too quick) games that use most if not all of the map, and has you coming from all angles. The height is distributed nicely, and there are no obvious Raelin perches (trust me, she was in two of the games I played and one of them she was on both teams). The heights are quickly accessible for range, but thanks to the LoS blockers and the small map size, melee still has a fighting chance against even strong range. Though you'd think that such a small map with so many LoS blockers on it would get crowded, and Rats would be too good, it really didn't come off that way; really, I felt it was the perfect size and openness. I could probably go on a little longer about all the upsides I found to the map, but as to not double then length of the thread I'll stop there and say I loved it before I move on to the negative criticism (not that there's much of it). Really, just two complaints that are quit minor: 1) The startzones: the layout for them is awesome, but unfortunately that makes it hard to remember them if you don't have the build instructions printed or open on the computer. Pretty minor, but I would suggest swapping around the grass/sand/rock tiles and turn all of the startzone spaces into rock or sand surrounded by grass. Like I said, minor, but it probably wouldn't be hard to work and would make things a little simpler. 2) This also has to do with the startzones, though it's not really negative at all: if both armies are smaller, with the way the startzones are, you can have some oddly placed battles because of where you decide to put your small army. Overall, I really liked this one, and there's barely any changes I can see to make. Great job, caps. C3G: Taking Superheroes to a Whole New Level! C3V: The Legacy of Classic 'Scape!

Re: caps' maps - updated 5/14
Thanks for the review Viegon!

Yes, that sounds like an interesting factor of this map. It would be easy to do small-point heroes-only free-for-alls by dividing the start-zones up a little differently.
