Re: The Design Holocron of Hoth Generator Ruins(Playtest Pha
Yeah, go ahead and make a post in the Playtesting Thread that this one is available for testing and link to this thread. I'll add it to the OP of the Playtest Thread.

Re: The Design Holocron of Hoth Generator Ruins(Playtest Pha
Here is that PT report I promised you.
Overall Look: Looks good, like some crumbling ruins amid an icy winter so perfect for the theme you are going for. Stability: The only wall sections that seemed to want to tip over were the end pieces, switching those out for middle wall sections should solve that problem. Build difficulty: Easy to build, mostly flat so not many layers to figure out where things go. Size: It is not very big but the many LOS blockers obstruct vision such that one start zone is not necessarily destroying the other start zone on OM1. Unit types positively affected: With the snow & ice rules in play, any snow or ice related powers are well used, especially since the only high ground is snow covered. Some minimal shadow available for units that can benefit from them but they are all on the lowest ground so they are not too useful. Melee units like the many LOS blockers, giving them a chance to engage the opponents shooters. Road tiles right in the middle of the map will give aide to those units that gain a boost from the road. Unit types negatively affected: Sniper type units that just want to sit in one spot will find limited targets. 4 figure bonded squads may find it difficult to move everyone up into an attack position. Units that rely on having high ground may find it difficult to get and maintain high ground. Key areas on the Map: Road tiles at center of map, snowy high ground along each side, area behind large ice rocks were useful for flanking. Areas not used much or at all: I really didn't drop down into the shadow tiles much at all given the units I used since giving the opponent a +1 attack from high ground is better then the +1 defense you get in return. Game 1:
Spoiler Alert!
Game 2:
Spoiler Alert!
Final Thoughts: Fun map with some tactical flexibility for different types of troops. |

YK, are you going to post these results as a playtest for Hoth Han too?

Already did, that report was based on the Hoth Han initial I did a while ago.

Re: The Design Holocron of Hoth Generator Ruins(Playtest Pha
I really like this map and wish I had the sets to build it. It looks perfect for Hoth Han too! Maybe once it gets an Online Scape file I'll be able to play on it.

Thanks DL! I'm able to move it into the HoSS folder once the map is finalized.

Re: The Design Holocron of Hoth Generator Ruins(Playtest Pha
I played a game on this map the other day. I liked it; the action starts quickly. I used heavy snow and slippery ice. The battle was Zelrig, Braxas, Marro Warriors and C3PO versus Obi-Wan, Padawan Luke and Yoda. A few comments:
- I agree with Yodaking that the shadow tiles aren't really useful since they are height disadvantaged. I avoided them whenever possible. Maybe they should be made even ground to the surrounding terrain with a shadow tile on it? - My biggest concern is that there is height advantage right next to the start zone for ranged figures to shoot at the melee figures approaching up the middle. True, the columns help to limit the shot availability, but it would be nice to have some height near the center for melee figures to rest on. Or maybe a glyph there.

Re: The Design Holocron of Hoth Generator Ruins(Playtest Pha
thank you for the feedback
@Porkins
, we'll run a few more tests and see what changes are in order on the shadow tile placement.
