Quicksand, various new castles, various new foliage, and statues.

I would add that RttFF was probably the most influential terrain expansion, and that further terrain expansions should mirror it.

I would LOVE to see a terrain type or enhancement that blocks Line of Sight but allows units to pass through it, such as smoke, fog, or mist.

It's the primary type of terrain that we're missing and it would greatly, greatly enhance the game both from a competitive standpoint and from a balancing viewpoint.



I think it's so important that I'm making my text red and bold so it will stand out!!!

:P

To go with the jungle theme there could be some waterfall line of sight blocker.

I'm also for a desert set with some cactus, sand dunes, red rock columns, and maybe some nasty scorpions.

I also like the idea of just a set of various line of sit blockers. New ruins, columns, statues, trees, etc. all packaged together.

Great trades with Onacara, Gypsy, SirGalahad, elltrain, generalgina, Concord, Just_a_Bill, LongHeroscaper, janus19390, and the very generous obfuscatedhippo.

Has anyone suggested terrain for promotional items yet? Put Leifkicker to work designing some kick-butt 3-hex LoS blockers that can be given out at tourneys, etc.

Environmentalists make great compost.

I have long wanted a more high-tech set of terrain for the robots/soulborgs. I've suggested a soulborg base called "Zettia" for the Zettian guards to guard. It could be easy to do: Create gray/metallic water tiles to represent smooth metal floors. Then create some sci-fi looking walls to go around them. Maybe even have a turret emplacement. This would also be more theme-appropriate for the Marvel sets as well. So, it could have big appeal in the hobby stores too.
I am also disappointed by Heroscape's lack of modern terrain. If out-and-out metal tiles, machinery, etc. are out of the question, I suggest/beg for terrain that could at least look somewhat modern with clever mapmaking. I would love wood-plank tiles. Many have asked for wooden bridges; I know I would buy many of them for the floors of building interiors. Egyptian objects would be great as well, not for deserts but as monuments in city streets. If for some reason you will not make further dedicated modern/urban/sci-fi terrain, please at least make something that we can fudge into modern maps somehow, as opposed to dedicated fantasy/ancient terrain. Thank you.

I think the thing I want to see most off all is a pagoda style castle for Einar. IT would be amazing! That and a tree like castle for Ullar. Like with a tree door.

Others have thrown this idea out there and it sounds really cool.

I like the natural terrain items. Like rocks, logs, trees, caves, boulders, stumps, hollow trees, bushes, *takes a breath* The list goes on. Trees that a figure can climb up into would be cool.

Long live Heroscape.

I will buy everything they put out. Yep, I said it. Now, I won't buy 16 packages, like some, but I'll probably buy about 2 or 3.

Buildings would be great, sci-fi terrain, wastelands...


The outdoors is what happens when I'm going from one place to another.

Though it more of an accessory than terrain feature, I'm amazed that we are almost on page 3 and nobody has mentioned castle seige equipment, like catapults, etc.

You guys talk about it all the time, but when a corporate rep logs on, everyone forgets.
