That said, I can think of plenty of maps that I love and think are great that are terrible for Gencon maps (Failed Negotiations and Can't See the Jungle were the first two that came to mind). Personally I liked a lot of the maps last year although Burial Marsh was annoying for double hexers (I was just fortunate to play against my templar on those maps). I'd be pretty happy with a list similar to last year. ~Dysole, admittedly without a dog in the fight and mostly wanting to chime in so she could razz OEAO My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long.

Re: Gen Con 2019
One important factor in choosing a GenCon map is that the map be balanced -- no particular type of army (range, melee, etc.) or figure (flying, double hexed, etc.) be helped or hurt by the map. I think the map pool last year met that goal.
With that in mind, as well as the terrain limitations noted in this thread, can those of you familiar with the ARV map pool suggest a few (maybe half a dozen) ARV maps that you believe meet this objective? There are too many ARV maps for those involved with GenCon map selection to properly play test prior to the map selection deadline. |

Re: Gen Con 2019
So if I’m hearing you correctly Sir Heroscape, you essentially want us to pick a map from the ARV because you feel they are good maps and you are tired of the old maps at Gen Con, even if they are good as a general rule?
I just looked over there and as Lonewolf mentioned earlier you only seem to have 3 1MS + 1 Exp maps, which is really the bottom line at Gen Con. But we will certainly keep those 3 in mind. Customs, for the 42nd time, are more than welcome to be played at one of the open play events and we even encourage you to run an event at that time frame if you wish.

Re: Gen Con 2019
Apologies, no. Just surprised C3G gets an official event but not SoV/C3V

Re: Gen Con 2019
Heavens no. There are plenty of good BoV and other maps, im just trying to make a case that ARV maps should be given a fair chance, and for you guys, that may mean replaytestung them to make sure they fit your bill.

Re: Gen Con 2019
I have always thought there where plenty of different maps, and have always been happy with them. I want to thank whoever is in charge of all the map picking, you guys rock!
The only problem I have ever seen is you randomly keep getting the same couple of maps - but if you say I have played this already you can change maps usually ( unless your against a top tier player who wants to win more then just play and will say no I want this board - cause they feel it is to their advantage - but those guys are far and few between know that it is not a living game with lots of prizes. Speaking of prizes, I promise my game selection will be better then last year! I have no where to store stuff in Ohio anymore and thought of selling off a lot of it, then thought just give it away as prizes for HS - cause any prize is better then no prize in my mind.

In case it wasn't clear, we do want to support modern map makers, and are actively looking for new options. However, there is no guarantee that anything specifically from the ARV is selected. Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

That said, I also don't know how the attendance would be because I've only been to a single GenCon before, and I can see the argument being made that C3G represents SuperheroScape whereas VC extends the classic game and thus can more easily be slotted into other events... But if there's ever a C3V/SoV event, I'd definitely want to participate. Proud Member of Platyfly!
