The Scroll of From the Ashes
COMPETITIVE MAP By BiggaBullfrog ______________________________________________________________ Map Bio - The war of Valhalla has changed the face of the land. Castles fell, mountains entrenched, and plains became scarred with blood and smoke.There once was a wellspring here, the wellspring that gave the kyrie Raknar his famous vision of the war and the death it would bring. When the wellspring was found all sides rushed to claim it, and a great battle ensued, at the peak of which ancient magic was invoked to crack the earth, and a volcanic eruption destroyed the warriors so eager to die for their cause. None survived the eruption, and the land was unapproachable for many years. Time passed. The war waged on. Stories were told, and some were nearly forgotten. Eventually the land cooled, and refugees from the war stumbled across it, unaware of its history. They took advantage of the landscape, hiding among it and slowly fortifying it, relying on the still-smoking land to keep enemies from venturing too close. For a time, they lived in peace. But not all stories are forgotten. And rumor spread that a wellspring long-forgotten was reemerging. So, naturally, the call to war was sounded once again. ______________________________________________________________ Reviews- •Tiranx •TREX This one was pretty fun, had a lot of winding ways up and placement for glyphs was not too bad. •Sir Heroscape Very impressed with this maps design. The lava is wonderful! It is placed well enough that it doesn't hinder army development, but rather makes for some very strategic moves and decisions when looking for height advantages or safety behind battlements. It was never a game-changer like sometimes lava is, and really made the map fun. Glyphs were well placed midmap and on lower elevation. The only downside to the glyphs is the ease by which flying figures can reach them...but that's always a struggle to meet that qualification...and for the majority of armies that do not have flying, it still took two activations to reach. Battles used the whole map and conflict happened quickly. I can now fully suggest this as a tournament worthy map. •Biggabullfrog Sir Heroscape's Content
