Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 8/7

Thanks for the commentary on my commentary. I agree that having a JPT-esqe map in a pool is not such a bad thing.

Some armies rely on double-spacers to take and hold glyphs, and a powerful glyph on this map can be unfair to those builds. Jerks like me already have an advantage with our single-spaced glyph grabbers; we don't need any more help.
Yep, I fully meant to fix that hex issue. But, it got selected for GenCon and I didn't want to make changes that might affect people's strategies. Now, it's stuck in the que for BOV and I'll refrain from changing it until it's out. I'll probably forget about it and then it will never get fixed.
I don't think the BoV judges, curmudgeons though they are, would get too bent out of shape if you submit a slightly edited version. Yeah, it resets the process, but it would be better to fix the flaw rather than have a slightly imperfect version get inducted.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 8/15

Update 8/15

Another one of my typical small footprint maps, this time using the RttFF and the VW set. This is some of my favorite terrain and makes for some real quick games. Not much to say about this one, it's just a down and dirty little map. Have fun.

Map:
Trailblazer
Date Uploaded: 8/15
Requires: 1 RotV, 1 RttFF, 1 VW.

Great maps! Why is there water behind the start zones in No Man's Land?

The water is placed there to let the player know that those hexes are not part of the start zone. I just wanted to avoid confusion about which grass hexes could be used for the starting spaces.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 8/15

Your maps are all really good!

I'll have to say No Man's Land is my favorite, the theme is really cool, the map looks cool, and when I played on it it played well.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 8/15

Great job on Trailblazer.* I'll have to try that one out sometime.

I suppose I might as well give a little feedback about the Gencon maps. Nothing to in depth, though.

Fulcrum: This was by far my favorite map. I played on this one several times, and found no problem with gameplay.

Just Passing Through: Pretty decent map. Only played on this one a couple times. No complaints really.

Fissure: Easily my second favorite map, I love all the LoS blockers and Heavy Snow, as well the Move glyph in the middle. I do agree with Dok about maybe switching a Glacier and a Ruin to try to give each side more room.

Warden: Only played on this one once. Again no major complaints. Other than the slightly wobbly ruins, there was nothing wrong with the map at all.

Jotun's Gap: Never played on.

*After your post in the Heroscape Game Room thread, I was expecting a new lava map shortly.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 8/15

In No Man's Land, it says 1 TJ, but I think I see 9 Jungle Brushes. That would be 2TJ. Maybe I'm seeing things.

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map 8/15

I see 3 trees and 8 bushes. Occasionally I just look at all the maps in the first post, and it seems pretty apparent that TT is Dignan's favorite expansion. What I also notice is that many of Dignan's maps have split starting zones that are geographically isolated from each other by water or some other terrain feature and that he likes using BftU as low ground when combined with RotV. Dignan, you have some of the most unique maps around and they definitely have their own style.
