I fixed the links.

Cool maps. I like all three of the special rules you have for your maps. I am not sure how often the Pulse Mechanism would be used though, because it requires 4 of your 12 characters (max) to actvate. Still I like the idea of turning n entire area of the board into a dangerous area.

The elevators in the office building are a great way of helping non-fliers get to height.

Have you playtested these yet? I would be interested in hearing a battle report.

[Vydar_XLIII]

I've only played the Construction site and I've found that the street is used as a safe spot for melee figs because the last line of hexes is just out of range of the marvel figs.

OK, I really can see how the street is actually a good idea. I think that you ought to keep it.

Another issue I see right away is start zone placement. Whoever has initiative is going to immediately get a shot at the opponent from height, especially with a dragon or Marvel hero. I think you need to change the start zones to give a small measure of "breathing room."

Also, a small problem I have with the road is that it is lower than the grass adjacent. If indeed you want that to be a safe spot for melee characters, it needs to be on an equal plane. I think to make this map great, you might have to add some addition LOS blockers on the street side to make it more worthwhile for a player to send his/her figures that direction, or at least make a path so that the melee characters do not have to waste 4 turns (going through the water) or risk certain death (moving within range of the towers).

I hope this helps. I like it a lot and look forward to further playtesting your future versions.

What I'm looking at doing right now is putting a little area on the other side of the road and adding RttFF for more los blockers.

Not to mention it looks thematically better

I especially like Last Stand on Alcatraz Island.

Right off the bat, this looks like a better map than the previous version. Here are a couple of questions about how the lifts work. Does a figure have to end its movement on the glyph to be lifted to the top or can it keep moving after it has been brought up? If the figure can keep moving, does both the glyph and the space above count as a space of movement or do you just count the movement onto the glyph? Also, there are some spelling errors in the wording that you may want to clean up before you resubmit this the the BoM project.

I noticed that you topped the door with regular road tiles instead of wall walk tiles (level 14). Is there any way to switch them to actual wall walk tiles?

Other than that, this map looks cool and I hope to give it a go sometime in the near future.
