This would allow the greenscales to block zelrig to all melee except flying with a move of 7+, and even then you'd only be able to get two units adjacent to zelrig. I vote NO to review to 'every man for himself' but I vote YES toreviewto teams if the teams are blue and light green(I hope thats the color) V.S yellow and orange.

Overrun

I'm inclined to agree with YMF on this one, the start-zones are to close on either side for an effective FFA in my opinion. Even ruling out tactics like a the Z-Bomb (or a DW7000 ka-boom?) I think this map would quickly turn in to a 1v1 on either side and then another 1v1 showdown in the middle. This would in effect promote turtle-ing for the first few rounds, which is never good for an effective FFA. I must say though as a 2v2 map this has got some potential, I like the layout and size in addition to the glyph and height positioning. I vote YES to review Overrun by Warlord Alpha (as a 2v2 team game).

Click on the picture to enlarge it... I can't make it any bigger sorry. I agree, Overrun is more team-based.


Sub. Judge added, title removed, updated.

EDIT: I know where to find the Maze, I'll get pics up.

Could someone please either direct me to a VirtualScape file of Overrun or make one? My computer won't let me download "Limewire" so I can't get the building instuctions.

Since it seems slow lately, I'll nominate Rÿchean's Rock Creek Way.
It requires 2 RotV and 2 RttFF.
With the start zones Blue/Cyan against Orange/Yellow(the father away yellow.

As for the map, melee would have trouble going through the center, but there is plenty of LoS blockers to attack your nearest opponent. Edit: Going through the center would be crazy anyway, as you would expose yourself to both enemy players.
I vote YEStr

Now I have 12 NO and 5 YES

Cool, thanks for submitting the nomination. I'll update the OP later tonight.

I'm not sure it makes sense for us to vote on our own nominations. Presumably we should be voting YesTR, otherwise why are we nominating it?

For the purposes of your scorecard feel free to count it as a yes.

Merchant's Ruin looks like a lot of fun to play on. The start zones are flat with two bridges in the middle I say... drum role please..... Yes to review Merchant's ruin

Glad to see lots of activity!

I'll update the OP tonight, and I mean it this time!

Thanks!

I'm going to vote NO for Remnants of Crumland and leave it up to Dfonse to induct or not.

I also vote NO to review Trinty Road. I don't like the chokepoints on the road.

I vote YES to review Twiddler's Bridge. It seems too sprawling to me but am willing to hear some reviews.

I nominated Irefare Hill and it got another yes vote too.

I got trinity Road up with its vote, but I didn't catch the votes for the other maps. Did I miss something?
