The Book of Battleship Map

[Yodaking]

I'm quite intrigues by this map, it looks really interesting to play a game on.

Bats, big boats like that require a deep water port which are created by natural rock formations or poured concrete. Beaches are almost always shallow water areas which is why people go there to swim and relax. Sand does not provide a stable enough platform to form and then maintain the large/deep tubs of water required for the drafts of a big boat.

Good explanation, YK. Works for me.

I really love this match. Itching for an Aquaman scenario, or a HYDRA scenario or something.

• Ladders one level too high.
• Too many to count, Battlements attached incorrectly. Some also too high.

Please fix before going any further.

I'm looking at the map directions right now and I don't understand the battlements issue.

I agree, this map looks ideal for a scenario of some sort. With one team starting out on the battleship and one team attacking from land. Maybe a Hyrda invasion force on the boat and some defenders of the city on the dock. Or a team of good guys (Aquaman/JLA or Namor/Avengers) escorting in a top secret item (equipment glyph?) with a group of criminals/super villains on the dock trying to steal it.

Half the ones on the lower level are facing the wrong direction & in the wrong space. The ones up the top face the wrong direction & are on a level too high.

Besides the requirement problems, this looks like a great looking map to me. Screams scenario as suggested.

I know this is not my map, but I'm trying to make the corrections to the battlements so that I have a better understanding of what you guys want when I submit a future map idea. I have had problems myself trying to get the battlements where I want them when designing maps in the map editor.

I fixed the ones way up top, I didn't even notice those up there earlier and agree they need to be brought down 1 level. For the ones on main ship deck, do you want half of them on level 2 and the other half on level 3 so that they all face outward? Or is their some special key you need to push in order to have two battlement pieces on the same hex location of the same level?

Awesome idea.

Battlements are placed on the hex space next to the hex it is attached to & then rotated around to the correct position.

Is there a way to edit the file with out having to re-upload the file? I'll try to tackle those, thanks for the tips.

I like the scenario idea, possibly a Masters Of Evil (we do have Zemo) vs The Avengers

*edit* I also can't figure out how to make the battlements fit the right way, they are kind of a pain to work with and I can't see how you can make them the right or the wrong way.

Yes, but unless there is a special function I have not yet discovered they only let me put one battlement per hex. For some maps this in not a problem, but for others where you have many battlements in a row, one hex requires two different battlements to be attached.

The only way I have previously found to get around this problem is to place some of the battlements backwards, which requires me to put them 1 level too high as well. This is because the only way to back into the space is to place the battlement in the same hex location as the hex I want it attached too. I then put all the correct facing battlements one level too high as well just to keep them all on the same build instruction level. Smithy seems to have run into the same problem and came up with the same solution.

This is an issue I have run into several times when making maps in the past and it is quite annoying. If their is a different work around to this problem I would love to know what it is. As mentioned above, I have all the battlements on this map facing the right way right now, with half of them on level 2 and half on level 3. Is that the preferred work around?
