The Well Of Souls Bio-The final resting place for many fallen heroes, the graveyard is usually a quiet place, with the exception of the occasional ghostly scream heard from the hillside tomb. Upon further inspection however, it appears the most prominent grave has been disturbed. Was it by grave robbers looking for valuables, or perhaps the fallen hero has escaped the grave to extract revenge on the one who put him there...

I hadn't thought to use battlements for tombstones - nice! I used to use single road hexes and lately I've used single dungeon tiles.

I can see Professor Power coming up out of the ground in his dead son's ressurected body, with Spider-Man and Beast trying to stop him from seeking his revenge.

Thanks! I based it off the scene in the hush storyline where Jason Todd is holding robin at batarang-point next to his dug up grave. After I built it I threw my hush, robin, Batman, Catwoman, scarecrow, and huntress up there to see how it looked.

I usually do the same thing for graves as you have done here, only I make the grave a double hex instead of a single. Also, try some different hex colors for the grave mounds. Sand usually looks really good. Not that the grass looks bad, but sand might help break the map up some visually.

Honestly, this map doesn't do much for me. Considering the incredible amount of terrain that is required, it is a relatively small map with little to offer other than theme. Why is there no road wall pieces as a small surrounding wall? Why aren't there many more graves than the 11 shown? Why isn't there much more height differences and/or paths through the graveyard?

I don't mean to insult here, only challenge you to create more of a map that will jump out at the browser and make them say "oh man, I have to build that." As it is, I think that just about anyone would probably say "hmmm, that is interesting, but I could probably do things a bit more exciting with that much terrain available."

I didn't see that as an insult, just as helpful suggestions. I'll try and rework it to be more interesting.

OK good. Also, I am trying to think of a better name than just Graveyard, but I am coming up blank. Do you have a better suggestion?

[Griffin]

The Well of Souls perhaps?

or

The Keep?

[GreyOwl]

Some name ideas:

The Necropolis
Burial Grounds
Deathly Ossuary
Boneyard Battle (maybe better for a scenario name?)

[GreyOwl]

My Kyrie Crypt would fit perfectly on this map:

Just came up with a really creepy idea for this thing. Will be starting this map over from scratch and hopefully have something up by tonight. Should the graves be 1 hex or 2?

[GreyOwl]

I think 2 hex.

[Griffin]

I also like two hex graves. Unless it's a Dwarf grave.
