Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 3/18/21)

Very cool looking map. Looking forward to having some extensive fun!

Very well done! Some initial thoughts - I like the placement of LOS blockers throughout the map. I also like how you're using the walls to bring action more into the middle (along with the glyph). A lot of road on a three player map can be a great thing because the maps tend to be significantly bigger - so I like that. This is a small nitpick, but a little more variation among all the road tiles might make that road area a little more interesting. It looks solid though! Thanks for all the work you've put in to playing and revising! Keep it up!

Thanks for the input Flash!

I understand your concern about how most of the road is on level 3, and it was something I was conscious about while designing as well. So I did try to add a little variance where possible, each third of the map has 4 sunken hexes leading out of the right of the start zone, and 1 road hex that is on level with the stone table. I wanted the stone table and the 3 outer clusters to be the highest points so that there is a slight benefit to being on the central table. Additionally with how cluttered the LoS blockers make it, I wanted to make sure huge figures (such as Braxas) would still feel comfortable and move viably in this map. To accommodate I made the right path out of the starting zone double wide and more gradual and kept the center as flat as possible. You're welcome to disagree with the design choice, I just hope that at least explains my reasoning behind it!

Keeping the maps coming! This is a more simplistic 1 MS 1 expansion tournament style map I made. Mainly experimenting since I got the VW recently. It came out alright and it played decently!

The map definitely has a solid design. I was just expressing more of an initial thought rather than a concern - which may very well prove to be wrong. I appreciate the effort and thought you have put into building it! It definitely shows. And I love that you're posting other maps too! Keep them coming

Just got around to testing this 2 Master Set 2 VW map I made. I have plenty more done I just need to test them I really liked the way this one played though and it's my first (published) 2 master set map!

Dude. That looks epic. My only small suggestion would be regarding glyphs - right now, certain glyphs are favored to certain sides. When that happens it can be really frustrating if your opponent has awesome glyphs on their side, and you get stuck with a pit trap and Lodin on yours. Lol.

Keep these epic maps coming! It's always fun to see a great variety of maps being produced.

Just added my first scenario map. Another 2 master set, but this time just 2 SotM, no expansions.

Click the spoiler tag to read the scenario:

Spoiler Alert!

The Healing Wellspring

Goal: Destroy all of your oponents' figures.

Setup: Place the Glyph of Brandar power-side up where shown.

Each player drafts or brings pre-made 600 point armies. Player one starts in the red starting zone; player two starts in the blue starting zone.

Special Rules: Any time you roll the 20-sided die while standing on the Glyph of Brandar you may add up to two to your die roll.

Any hero figure on a water tile at the end of a round may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll an 11 or higher you may remove one wound.

Any squad figure on a water tile at the end of a round may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 16 or higher, if possible, you may place a previously destroyed squad member from the card on an adjacent, unoccupied, same-level water space.

The player to win initiative for the round rolls to heal first. You may roll for every figure in the water at the end of the round. Roll for squad figures separately. Hero figures cannot be revived. Squad figures that were revived this turn may not roll to revive more squad figures.

Victory: When the other side has no figures left on the battlefield, you win. If the battle reaches the end of Round 12, then the game is over and the player with the most points on the battlefield wins (see Scoring, on page 10 in the Master Game Guide ).

Very cool maps and nice to see you around the site! I see your posts on the Facebook group a lot.

Just added Circle the Pond. My initial concept for this was to just have a void in the center of the map. I settled on water instead because it looks nicer and kind of serves the purpose of making it an area you wouldn't go through. The glyph placement is just a suggestion, feel free to mix it up to your liking!
