Spoiler Alert!

Requires: 1 RotV and 1 TJ


Vergence 2.5
Requires: 2 BftU, 1 TJ

Spoiler Alert!

2 Glyphs of Wannok and 2 random Treasure Glyphs
Optional: 2 Glyphs of Zawit (C3V)

Glyph Notes: The Glyphs of Brandar are random Treasure Glyphs. The random Power Glyphs are actually the Glyph of Zawit (Teleport) from the C3V Glyphs (these are NOT recommended for Competitive play).

Gameplay Note: When playing with Wannk and Zawit - Both Wound and Teleport happen at the same time (at the end of each round). Players with a figure on Wound always roll first. Then if any figures are still on Teleport those figures may teleport. As always, if each player controls one Wound and/or Teleport each, they may roll the 20-sided die to see which player activates their Wound or Teleport first.

Dwriechyed Wellspring 2.0 - See audio file below for pronuciation
Requires: 1 BftU, 1 TT, 1 VW
6 Glyphs of Brandar, 2 Glyphs of Astrid, and 2 Glyphs of Gerda

Special Rules:

Spoiler Alert!

The wellspring is all water, slippery ice, molten lava, and shadow. Only a player's figures in the wellspring may target opponents’ figures in the wellspring.

If a player occupies at least one Glyph of Brandar, that player’s small, medium, and large figures standing on at least one shadow space roll 2 additional defense die when defending instead of 1.

If a player occupies at least four Glyphs of Brandar, that player never rolls for molten lava damage and does not have to stop on molten lava spaces.

If a player occupies at least five Glyphs of Brandar, Slippery Ice only counts as 1 space for that player.

All power glyphs only apply to figures in the wellspring.

If a player occupies a Glyph of Brandar, the power of any other glyph that a player occupies becomes multiplied by X. X equals the number of Glyphs of Brandar that that player occupies, to a maximum of x4. For example, if a player occupies two Glyphs of Brandar and one figure on the Glyph of Astrid, the power of the Glyph of Astrid is Attack +2, whereas if a player occupies three Glyphs of Brandar and one figure on the Glyph of Gerda, the power of the Glyph of Gerda is Defense +3, etc.

[Kaemon Awa 123]

Didn't think it was possible to do it with 2 FotA... props to you.

[heroscaper2010]

Actually it has 3 Castle sets of Ladders. ( 58 )

[Son of Arathorn]

Considering that few sets were used, well done! Very well done!

[Filthy the Clown]

I especially like the giant fridge, located on the highest battlement. What a great, thoughtful way to allow those poor saps on guard duty to enjoy a cold beverage!


Well done!

[heroscaper2010]

Thanks everyone so far for the positive feedback!!!!

[elvenwizard9]

Wow... A Helm's Deep map I actually have the terrain to make... Great job!

[heroscaper2010]

Did you take note that it uses 3 sets of castle ladders?

Also, I'm trying to get this .pdf'ed but if you want to raw VS File I'll send you it.

[heroscaper2010]

Sorry for the double post, but I have change some of the map (still same requirements), but I have taken out all the ruins in the front, and where there is an opening on the western side of the castle where the river runs through I have added a two-hex ruin (from RotV) in there. It is to sybolize where the Berzerker blows up the wall. Sadly though the top is not removable as it is part of a 7- or 9-hex from the FotA. Once I have the chance I will build the map again and take some new pictures.

Helm's Deep VS File

Follow the link and find the file, you will you won't.

Updated OP

Sorry but I could not get this pdf'ed so it is the raw VS file.

[Shedim Kabal]

So, I though "Hall of Fiends" was really cool. The height on the back end is a neat pull (so you probably don't need a t-glyph on that hex specifically), but you might be able to maximize the LoS blockers a little better; open up a few more foot paths - narrow and cavernous to follow the style.

I'm not sure that Wannok or t-glyphs are a problem on OM1, but there's no pull to the red-left end of the map, so you could probably put Wannok there and water block it.

Since rats are such a mess in the tight spaces, I like having the two t-glyphs to give something for heroes.

[heroscaper2010]

I have decided to make this my official map thread for the sake of making another thread. So without further a due, I present, Hall of Fiends V.2:



I don't why picnik won't let me add numbers (for my full username). Darn picnik and I really don't want to use paint. Any suggestions?

I am free to all suggestions and criticism. I will hopefully have an updated version of Helms Deep up within the next week, too.
