Personally, while start zone bombs are probably going to be pretty likely for a lot of 3-player maps, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The great thing about 3-player games is that table politics come into play, and if one player opens up start zone bombing the other two, they're probably going to gang up on him and get some revenge. :devil: The one might have a good first couple of turns, but that will turn south pretty quickly.

Not that things like start zone bombs shouldn't be taken into consideration and minimized as much as possible, but it is interesting how table politics can balance out a game....

I'll try to take a closer look and get more in-depth feedback your way soon.

Table politics were something I was thinking of when making this map for sure. Since the start zones are so close to each other I figured everything would be crazy right out the gate, and I've thought of implementing special rules of some sort to maybe hedge this, but it may not be that big of a problem. I'm hoping to get a game in tomorrow on this map so we'll see how that goes!

With its design, if you had a player starting in every other start zone, it could still be symmetrical for the two players. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a two-player map with that line of symmetry. That would certainly be really cool!

I had a lot of fun trying make this map very versatile for player count! I really like using SotM for all the 7-hex tiles it comes with since it's such a flexible build tool, so it means a lot that you, the hex-shaped map legend, recognizes that

Yeah, there are a lot of really cool three player maps showing up for this competition, which makes me super excited for what this contest has to offer. I think, with a competition like this, people will have a lot of fun coming up with very different but fresh designs to the mapmaking scene.

Thanks for the feedback guys!! I wanted to reply earlier but I was away from the computer for a bit, but I'm here now. I really like the star map a lot too, I'm proud with how it looks so far, but I think I need to make a couple more changes before I'm totally happy with it. In regards to the other map I've posted, I've already made some significant changes that will use the road more efficiently, and I'm really liking how that's looking now too.

3 new maps today! Plus my 3-player map I've made for the ARV contest that's going on right now, here's Marauder's Drift, Salamander, and Sunken Fortress of Lur!

[Shurrig]

Just posted Sullen Garden in the OP as well as updated the map Druid. Currently in the process of once more cleaning up and streamlining this thread, so if you're following this thread expect to see some updated versions of my maps.

[Shurrig]

New map today, but I also updated Cold Stones while working on this one. Here's Sentinel!

[Sir Heroscape]

Oooo, me likey! Also, is the Brandar glyph a random power glyph or a treasure glyph? Cause I think it would be better suited as a Random power glyph to draw attention to both sides of the map.

I had originally put Valda down there, but I felt like it was too strong so I put a treasure glyph down there instead... but maybe unique attack? That side of the map has quite a bit of height so there is still incentive to go over there, any ideas though?

[Sir Heroscape]

That height is easily accessible to contest from either side. I think unique +1 or Lodin would be fine

I like the look of this newest one too! Great work!

Okay, I'll make a quick fix to that and have the new version up tonight!

Thanks a lot Flash!

[Shurrig]

Just updated Sentinel!

[Shurrig]

Here's a new map! I've been having fun making laterally symmetrical maps as of recent, check out Grindstone!

[Sir Heroscape]

I like it. At first glance very well done!
