Re: caps' maps - updated 6/6
I would like some feedback on this map--I'm now considering a submission to BoV, although I'm not entirely sure what is entailed in that.
Reset the Swamp - added 6/16/12
Spoiler Alert!
I feel like I have polished this map pretty well, but maybe it still needs more overhauls. The only other change I am contemplating at this point is stacking 1-2 more 7-hexxers in the center, but the low-ground there is a predominant feature of the map in my mind and I'm very reluctant to change that.

"Reset the Swamp" does look more polished with each iteration, so kudos for putting in the work. But I think you are in danger of putting the cart before the horse here. After publishing a map, I'd suggest getting it worked into tournaments first to see how it stands up. If a map is battle tested, the BOV panel will be much more inclined to review. Cheers, ~tgx |

Re: caps' maps - updated 6/16 - Reset the Swamp
I have an early version completed for a map that can be played with one of Auggie's 3'x2' road mats (since mine came in the mail today).
I'm finally going to tear down Reset the Swamp from my coffee table so I can put together Posies or Helplessness Blues.

Re: caps' maps - updated 6/16 - Reset the Swamp
Just uploaded a nice map for use on Auggie's 3'x2' Road Mat. I got a game in tonight and really enjoyed it. I'm sure its not perfected yet, but I'm not stressing about that right now.

Re: caps' maps - updated 6/16 - Reset the Swamp
Here is a little something I'm cooking up for the Online Heroscape Map Contest. Its based off an idea I've had previously (see Pocket Full of Posies in the OP), but it has no terrain restraints.
I call it Hell In A Handbasket. Let me know what you think. So far I've just had fun with it, and I have no idea how it plays. Any critiques are welcome. The .pdf is here, and the .hsc file is here. Although I would discourage anyone from making an online version yet unless they want to playtest it, since I will probably be making tweaks.

Reason: I wonder how obvious it is that I whipped this up in under an hour? |

Re: caps' maps - updated 6/16 - Reset the Swamp
Interesting design, looks like there are plenty of options in the middle. Plenty of high ground if you want to brave the lava, or defensive options if it suits the unit more (which I suppose would be those with special attacks).
I know the columns support ranged figures not attacking over the gap (if I remember my rules right) but I'm wondering if all the height transitions in the middle will still make it difficult for melee units to make the distance. |

Re: caps' maps - updated 6/16 - Reset the Swamp
The use of void space and columns is smart, and a lot of fun.
I worry though that, despite the huge footprint of the map, there's little incentive to go anywhere other than the middle. |

Also, the map is completely flat (no height advantage given or received) outside of that middle area. |

You've given me another idea. I should have another map or two posted sometime later this week.

Re: caps' maps - updated 6/16 - Reset the Swamp
I haven't uploaded any pictures for this post, but there are pictures in the .pdfs below.
Here is Hell In a Handbasket 1.1 in .pdf and .hsc. Here is Hell In a Handbasket 2.0 in .pdf and .hsc. This version is probably much better and I think it addresses Typhon and dok's concerns simultaneously. And here is Sooner or Later (a disappointment so far) in .pdf and .hsc. EDIT: Here is Hell's Loop, which is more like what I wanted Sooner Or Later to be like.
