BiggaBullfrog's Maps and Scenarios - Updates 3/2023

[BiggaBullfrog]

I've been working on new maps and updates to old maps over the past year-ish, and figured it's about time to post about those changes, if only to record them. For new maps I added both Nebo Terrace (from last year's ScapeCon map contest) and July, and the updated maps include March, April, August, and Feast Hall of Ash. (Credit for suggestions leading to the most recent versions of April goes to OEAO and his constant encouragement of global warming.) I have earlier versions of the calendar series in the OP, mainly because I'm a nerd and like to see the progression. (April especially I've been tracking closely -- the others I'm only tracking more significant changes.) For quick reference, the most recent versions of each map are spoilered below.

Spoiler Alert!

Love those maps! July while quite simple looks super interesting strategically!

Oh yeah, I saw all these and forgot to comment on them!

I LOVE Nebo Terrace. It's a better version of Elswin Plateau, and I've always like Elswin Plateau...but it has its issues. This improves upon the issues and looks like a lot of fun. @boromir96 can we get this in on our next event?

I REALLY like the improvements to April and will have to test it out and Feast Hall of Ash seems intriguing.

Overall, I like this batch.

Definitely using July in my next tourney. New maps with only 1 expansion are getting rarer, but it seems really solid. I'd definitely want a test game on Nebo Terrace, but the same compliment applies there: really interesting map with really small terrain requirements.

Great stuff Bigga! August 2nd in particular is a huge improvement over the original, and I'm really liking the new April too.

Wow, I really like a lot of these maps! I particularly love all maps that use bilateral symmetry (or Mirror Symmetry if you're @GameBear ) and have very high ground on one side with lower ground on the other side.
