Heroscaper's 101 maps

• Think about aesthetics when possible. To me, grass doesn't fit very well with the other tiles you used. There's two hexes of grass that's visible on level 1. Maybe you could swap that out for more dungeon or lava?
• Consider how playing on this map would go. Right now, you could use one squad of a screen unit (like Deathreavers or Gladiatrons) to block off both sides of the map on the edges. If you had a ranged figure too, he can stay behind that row of molten lava and shoot across. Range + screen is a very common combo, and it would be too good on this map.
• Try some different glyph spots. I like glyphs on lava field, personally, but these ones are also on height. That makes them very powerful spots to hold. Usually it's a good idea to put glyphs on lower ground, so that the advantage of holding them is mitigated by the disadvantage of losing height advantage.

I changed "Home of the Drow" map, hope you like it.

Definitely the best map you've made yet. Nice work.

Secrets of the Underdark

That's another decently good map, but it's probably too narrow, especially with water around the edges. There's plenty more terrain in the road set, you should try to use some more of it!

Hm. Any reason why the start zones are all different sizes?

I'd expect a four-player map to be much bigger, especially one with multiple expansion sets. The aesthetics are cool, though.

Why is it blue?

I am not certain myself, maybe has something to do with Facebook or something. Ever since yesterday, I been having trouble sharing with Facebook, also not sure why it is blue.

You could always use a site other than Facebook. I've been using imgur lately, it's very easy.

Occasionally my Virtualscape will render everything with a blue look like that. I have to close the 3D view window and open another to fix it. I suspect that is why it's like that. Facebook might be weird sometimes, but it doesn't turn pictures blue like that.
