Highways & Dieways' Family Tree

[Killometer]

@UranusPChicago 's map Highways & Dieways must be the single most adapted map on this site. Since I'm guilty of impinging on his intellectual property twice I figure I'd get the whole family together in one place, and see what else it inspires.

Wowzers. Quite the compilation, Killo. Good to have them all in one place.

I was surprised to see my little remake on this list. I'll have to make building instructions for it sometime.

Highways and Dieways will forever be my favorite BoV map. I'm loving all these remakes too.

I may be a bit of an obsessive completist.

Do you plan onn adding the lava back to the Ember Canyon section?

There might be a picture of it in my thread, I'm not sure though.

@Killometer I threw this together today because I saw a lack of dungeon representation.

Build Instructions

Lots of shadow on this one. In fact, all level 1 spaces (except start zones and the t-glyphs) have shadow.

It uses 2 BftU and 2 RttFF

TT is pretty unrepresented too, someone should throw one of those together.

@superfrog Nice. Added. I like your solution to mimic the ruins. The level 1 shadow will definitely lessen the sting of giving up the road. I wonder if there's a way to tweak it so the right spur of road can be accessed a bit easier from the start zone. I'm concerned that otherwise that whole corner will be a dead zone, even considering the shadow. With the position of the wall even just a diagonal 2-hexxer might do it.

@Not User Name TT is one of the few gaping holes in my collection, otherwise I would have probably already tried to steal that glory. I'm sure someone will try it eventually.

Very cool!

UPC hasn't posted since 2012 and this was one of his last posts in his map thread about his H&D map. It seemed appropriate to repost it is in this thread.

I just shifted the start zones right a bit and added back in the water hex I took out.

Thanks for cross-posting that, @Rÿchean . Recalling his reaction there was actually part of the impetus for me to make this compilation.

@superfrog I think that will keep the whole map a lot more lively.

Leakways and Creekways - lol. That was the result of way too much map making one day for me.

Vipers would rock on it though, so I still like it.
