Well first off, I hope you enjoyed the map, because it is one of my favorites for SuperScape, especially with Vigilantes and Criminals. But I had originally placed ladders there, but after a bunch of playtesting, I realized that it was too easy for figures to access them, and there was way too much ladder hopping for my tastes. You are certainly able to place them there if you want, as the terrain limits do allow for it, but I think the games are much more interesting without the easy access to those locations.

Maybe the optional rule could work if at the end of each round, the player with the last turn of the round has to roll the d20 and on a certain roll there can be potential damage or death to any figures on the tracks. And/or an affected figure on the tracks could be moved x amount of spaces if they are hit by the train and survive.

I was thinking they are moved X amount of spaces and take a wound. I just thought it would add a little extra to this map.

ONCOMING SHUTTLES
At the end of every round the player that went last chooses a direction and then each player must roll a 20-sided die for each of their figures on the lowest level of road space. If they roll a 16 or higher they must immediately move their figure 4 spaces in the direction that the last player indicated and each figure receives 1 wound.

That's just a rough idea.

EDIT:Accidental double post and ninja'd by Griff.
I know it could be avoided entirely, but that's why it would be an optional rule.

I loved the map but We didn't try it without our extra ladders we added. I'll have to try them as you built it sometime.

Cool. Yeah, honestly, with or without those extra ladders your gonna have the exact same thematic experiance, which is the aspect about this map that I love so much. The only difference in play style without those extra ladders is it is obviously not going to be as easy to get figures up there, and so it makes the reward much greater when you do, but it may take a while. Also, it makes it more difficult for ground troops to get up there and take out the ranged attackers, which forces those ground troops to hide in the tunnels and behind pillars just like they would in a real Subway, so I guess you may have missed out on some thematic elements (possibly), but really it is just a tactical preference to not have the extra ladders.

Just finished putting this one together. What a fabulous map for superheroes

Some classic Batman action is going to take place.

Batman, Criminals, Punisher, Dare Devil, etc. are some of my favorites on this map. The height can be a deadly foe for ground pounders, but stick to the shadows and take cover where you can.

MAP Bio - Dust settles on the rails of this busy subway station for mere seconds before it is kicked up again by the sound of the next oncoming shuttle. People scurry along through tunnels and doors to find a nice oily ripped seat before all of the good ones are taken. The sound of the alarm lets everyone know that the shuttle will be departing shortly. Without hesitation the doors slam shut and the underground train zips away... but still lingering in the tunnels are the scum who would stand against justice and that which is right... and there to oppose them are the unlawful heroes that the surface dwellers would label as mere vigilantes.
