Re: Cartographers Choice - Mapmakers Personal Favorites

Updated my post again: swapped out the previous version of Quicksilver Fane for a new improved Tournament version.

QUICKSILVER FANE (tournament version)
Uses: 1 RotV, 1 FotA, 1 RttFF (road tiles only), 1 TJ.
Glyphs: 2 Dagmar (+8 initiative).
Download: here



Really, I just wanted an excuse to bump this awesome thread. I wish more cartographers would post their favorites....

LeftOn4ya's Maps & Cartography Philosophy
My favorite of the maps I have virtualized so far:

  • This map is balanced for various situations (ranged, melee, flying) and fun to play on.
  • From the start zone, there are 3 different options on paths to go: up the middle for height, the left to grab a glyph and/or be able to attack the opponent start zone with range in 2 moves, or to the right to stop the opponent from grabbing a glyph and being able to bum-rush your start zone.
  • There is 4 spaces of the highest terrain separated as two two-hex spaces.
  • It takes two turns for a non-flying move 6 range 6 to move from the start zone and be able to do a ranged attack on an opponen't start zone.
  • It takes three turns for a non-flying move 6 melee character to move from the start zone and be able to do be engaged for an attack on an opponen't start zone.
  • The closest glyph to each start zone should is equidistant and requires two turns. A single healer glyphs is in the middle.
  • There is LOS blockes that protect people from the hill on two sides.
  • It is synergistic and there is relatively equal blocks to line of sight.
  • It requires only one each of 3 required sets: SOTM, BftU, and RttFF.

It is not the best map I have made, but I chose to Virtaulize & post it because it shows what I like in a map.
My favorite LOOKING and most unique map, but not my favorite to play:

Original Creation (looks better but doesn't play as well)

Description & Scenario
Spoiler Alert!


Still thinking of custom scenarios where basically you have to go back and forth and "shoot baskets." Could put Brandar glyphs under hoop and you have to go back and forth between glyphs to score. Or, to shoot if you are not under the rim you can roll a D20 and you need a 10+ but subtract 2 for each space away from the hoop. Maybe even make "Huge/Large" players better "on the key" while small figures are better beyond the key.

Just a working idea - any better ones? The original map is better for this scenario as it takes a way road bonus on court.
My favorite to build, because it can be made in 2 min:

Re: Cartographers Choice - Mapmakers Personal Favorites

I'm obviously a little late to the party (just got back on here from being gone for about 6 months from HeroScape), but if I had to narrow it down to the top 5 maps that I think are my favorite, they would be as follows:

(In no particular order)

Hatlevig's Touchstone - 6RotV, 4RttFF


Jacob's Hideaway - 5RotV, 1SotM, 4RttFF


Battle at the Brandar Well (Version 1.1) - 2RotV, 1RttFF


Valorian's Playground - 6RotV, 4RttFF, 2FotA


Broken Ruins of Ami - 3RotV, 3RttFF


That's a tough call... there are a few others that are right on the verge of being in this list, but these have offered the most fun of any of the maps in the whole SHS Codex.

Visit the SHS Map Codex!
(Codex downloadable into a spreadsheet for easy self-sorting)
Note to self: One ladder for every TWO levels!!!!!!

Re: Cartographers Choice - Mapmakers Personal Favorites

Twofold bump-1) Shameless self promotion for my overhaul of my top 3, and 2) I think that this is one of the best resources for maps and I'd love to see even more cartographers contribute.

Re: Cartographers Choice - Mapmakers Personal Favorites

Okay, I'll bite.

My favorite map to play on is probably Highways and Dieways. It always seems so balanced regardless of the armies being played on it.



My favorite map that I have made is Castle Rannveig. I put a lot of thought into it, and I love the way it looks and plays.
