Re: Wargrounds of Scape (WoS) - discussion thread
Given the date, I guess that Dance of the Dryads has entered?

Re: Wargrounds of Scape (WoS) - discussion thread
Out of curiosity….would it be safe to say that ScapeCon events will ONLY pull maps for the event from the WoS list? Since these are supposed to be the best of the best maps.

Re: Wargrounds of Scape (WoS) - discussion thread
No, although we will (almost certainly) use some WoS maps. There are a number of great maps that haven’t even been nominated yet.

Savage Corridor by Nomad
This one gets on my (online) table fairly frequently, one of my favorite ARV maps for sure. While thinking about it a bit deeper for my WoS review, I struggled with the question of how a map with a couple 7-hex slabs at the top could be good. It's just the opposite of how many modern maps are built, especially with the central valley between the two hills. But somehow Savage Corridor walks the tightrope and this map seems to always work. The start zones are interesting, making initial placement important, but deployment is relatively straightforward from each section. One thing that helps this map avoid a major two-hills problem is the fact that the two hills are so close together. You can be on one hill and then adjacent to the other hill with a single move of 5. There's also good ways to approach each hill on road and with jungle cover. I do think this map would benefit from ladders on the central road-spur sections for a slightly more dynamic center that also helped lateral movement, but otherwise I find Savage Corridor a solid map. We just inducted a map with the same sets, Invasion (over my abstention), and I'd prefer to play Savage Corridor over Invasion at least 80% of the time. I think it's unlikely that Savage Corridor will pass (needs two more upvotes in the next 3 days), but I wanted to record my support of this map. to induct Last edited by superfrog; February 9th, 2022 at 02:04 PM. |

Re: Wargrounds of Scape (WoS) - discussion thread
Sooo, what happens then...we just resubmit it and it moves back to the bottom of the list?

At the same time we don’t want undue submission spam, so we do encourage people to consider whether a second submission is likely to change the outcome or not before pulling the trigger. |

The timeout rule’s function is to keep the queue moving. It guarantees that no map sits in limbo for years at a time. If a map does not receive 75% upvotes by its deadline, it will fail. I’m not sure if this is the case-by-case thing you are talking about, but that’s a hard and fast rule. We have no discretion regarding the timeout.

I get that the timer keeps things moving but I don’t buy that it takes 6 months for judges to decide if a map is even worth testing. For example, some maps you’ve quickly reviewed, and downvoted, without playtesting (my recent Swamp map submission) which is totally within the purview of this project, and that’s fine. But, if that is the case then the assumption would be a map sitting for months without immediate downvotes, would be good enough to be tested/reviewed. So I’m just saying I think it’s a bit unfair to the creators to use the timer as an auto-fail because of the judges failure to get a review done. That’s all. If a map isn’t downvoted outright, then clearly it has enough going for it to warrant tests from the judges…otherwise why not just downvote it outright? Again, if that’s the case, then I think the issue resides on the judges to do their due diligence by completing their reviews. Not trying to rustle any feathers, I just think the “timer” rule could be improved upon. Sir Heroscape's Content
