Re: caps' maps - 01/31/2017 Halcyon

This map is so strange. It is weirdly pretty!

I find that, unlike most other maps, it doesn't really try to achieve a natural look, and it feels like it makes no sense, but it's still really pleasant to look at. I wonder how it would look in real life.

Well done !

I updated Halcyon. The only change was to rearrange Wannok and replace the treasure glyphs with power glyphs.

I always loved the look of this map. I'm glad you revisited it.

Re: caps' maps - 10/28/2018 Updated Halcyon

I just added a new map. I created it back at the end of 2018 expecting to submit it to an ARV map contest. I lost track of the requirements for the ARV contests since then and decided I should just upload it now. I have playtested it on and off in the time since then. Overall I'm happy with it.

It was inspired partially by @Dignan 's Grutsbane Pass, primarily in how lopsided that map is in terms of elevation. This map offers a little more protection to the low ground though, which is necessary because it is not nearly so wide as Grutsbane Pass.

Thanks to @dok for his private feedback that helped me make the map much better than it was on its first few iterations.

I really like what you did with symmetry here, Cap. This is definitely one I would use in a tournament. If, you know, we ever get out of our houses to have another one. Ha ha that is a joke.

Re: caps' maps - 2020/05/23 added Thaw

Thanks DS, I take that as a pretty big compliment.


EDIT: it is not perfectly symmetrical on any axis. I couldn't tell from your comment if you could tell that or not. I spent a lot of time balancing the glyph placement and the terrain around it to make the movement costs to the glyph be the same

Wow, how did I miss your post on this map? haha, it actually looks really cool. I think it has a really cool dungeon alter feel to it.

Thanks Sir H

I held on to it a long time with plans to submit it to the ARV in a contest but I didn't pay close enough attention to when a contest came along that it would be eligible for.

I decided to revise Halcyon, and came up with something just sufficiently different enough that I wanted to give it a new name. The goals with this one are the same as Halcyon, but preferably with a smaller footprint and hopefully a little more friendly to melee with a little bit less of a shooting-gallery feel. I also coated one side of the map in (unnecessary?) swamp water, so the map ends up with a mostly distinctive 3-area feel: the swamp to the "north", the ice in the center, and the "cave" in the "south," with some unmelted snow (yes, I know it doesn't quite fit).

One of the other major changes is that I moved the precariously-placed single-hex outcrops to a more sturdy location.

This is a first draft, but I wanted to post it now in case anyone had some obvious feedback for me to incorporate.

Re: caps' maps - 2022-08-28 added Kingfisher

at first glance, I REALLY Like it. I loved Halcyon during playtesting for aesthetics and theme (though it did fall a bit short on balance)...this one delivers as well but I think this initially feels much more balanced than Halcyon...so well done.

My initial hesitation is just the flatness through the center. I think you could get away with alittle bit of height on the opposite side of the glacier that is next to wannok. I feel like just a 1-hex and 2-hex wrapping around that opposite side could keep things interesting during development through the middle.

I think the reason you can get away with it there (or in a couple other spots)...is because you've done a good job keeping the center of the map at 8 spaces from each startzone...so you could play with putting height on 7 and 8 spaces away without "breaking" the map for 6-move fliers. that is, most of the time each side will be able to contest the height equally when you put it at 7 and 8 spaces from the start zone...so I think you could do with a little bit more through the center

I actually like the middle being pretty flat. What's the reason that you think it needs more elevation?
