Here's my latest Map that I created the other weekend. We played a few games on it and had a good time. It uses what I like to call a "tournament foundation". In other words, it takes up about the same amount of space as a typical tournament map, is designed for the same point sized armies, but uses well beyond the typical amount of terrain.

This map is one that I have generated for the upcoming Richardson Open. With that it mind, it was created for tournament play. This map breaks out into two defined sections. One side favors melee with a road and lots of LOS blockers, while the other side has open terrain and choke points to create areas for ranged units to lay down fire.

http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgaller...ee_Curtain.JPG The map is called The Pine Tree Curtain, and it was submitted for Team tournament in Dallas. It was not chosen though, because they said it had a few choke points. I would remove the single tree between the Hive and the curtain to create a more open area there. I like your maps so far. Keep Your Enemies Closer has a great idea, but the dragons would have lots of fun there . L...o....n......g.....H...e.....r....o.....S....c....a....p...e......r .....

Re: Dignan's Maps - New Map - Tripdien's Glade - 3/31
4/19/08: I have uploaded several new maps for an upcoming tournament I am hosting. Each picture speaks for itself. Hopefully you will enjoy this latest batch. We spent several weeks playtesting the maps to get "good" gameplay out of them. Enjoy.

Re: Dignan's Maps - 4 new maps 4/19
All of your new maps look really good. I am never a fan of using Castle wall without the cap, so I will leave Molten Stronghold aside .
In terms of balanced and playable, I like Flash Fire the most. It looks similar to Ch1can0's Little Rampage and UPC's Highway or Dieway, but in a smaller footprint, which is excellent for tournament. Melee units will have difficult time on Damp Ruins, I think. But the map looks great. So does On Frozen Pond.... I would replace several water tiles surrounding the central glyph by ice tiles (or snow tiles) to create a passage to cross the river more easily. I know you want the glyph to be hard to claim and hard to defense, but unless it is an important glyph, I think the area will see less play. Just my 2 cents . Overall, I really like the look of your new patch. I think people in the tournament will have a lot of fun playing on these map. Good jobs, Dignan!

Now I haven't played on any of the maps yet so I expect a thorough trashing on 4/26. |

Re: Dignan's Maps - 4 new maps 4/19
Glad to hear that you are looking forward to it (I can't wait). I'm pretty sure that your tournament experience and skill will keep you from getting trashed next week (I think you've played in more tournaments than the rest of the field combined ).

Re: Dignan's Maps - 4 new maps 4/19
Nice looking maps! Can't believe I haven't poked around your map thread before. I came across Divided We Fall while looking for a Tundra map for our next HS tourney here in KC. If we use it I'll let you know how things pan out.

Re: Dignan's Maps - 4 new maps 4/19
I really like all these maps. Molten Stronghold looks really interesting to me, even if it doesn't have capped walls When I saw Divided We Fall, I swear I started to sing United we Stand. They all look great.
