I think it's a great map for a "team of good guys tries to stop small group of powerful bad guys" match. The map could favor the bad guys to even the playing field.

Don't get me wrong, I love making maps with waterfalls, especially if I am playing Microcorps. I'm just throwing out to the group that melee can be very hard to field on such a map.

I guess on the plus side, slow, non-flying melee isn't a huge part of SuperHeroscape and should expect to have trouble when being played with them. So since this is a SuperHeroscape map project, I'm OK with that. There isn't, for instance, a single melee figure in the Marvel Master Set who would really struggle on this map (since only Abomination and Hulk qualify as melee and that Super Leap would make things just fine for them).

I feel the same way although the mountain does add to it.

What if you made the mountain and the waterfall the center of the map and built the jungle around it?

If you don't mind me throwing in my two cents. I like the mountain, but I think the map looked better before it was added.

If this were my my map, i would try to shift the low ground to the left a bit more and adjust it's overall shape so that the footprint would be less blocky. All the elements of the map are great, but the shape of the footprint is off-puting.

What do you think of making this the center of the map?

I really like this new take, Taeblewalker.

It looks cool, but where are the starting zones?

[Balantai]

I think that's just supposed to be the middle. You would expand out from what's posted.

Looking cool.

I try. Check out my new version of the Graveyard over in that thread.

That waterfall is an great bit of terrain to build a map around (heck I'd play on it by itself, ~500 points of super-dudes. . .). There's a ton of potential there.

I like the new orientation, but would like it more if there was more land either side of the lake. Even if that means sacrificing the length of it. Having said that it is really a beautiful map. Very pleasing to the eyes.

Great map.
