New map: Southern Tarns. 1 MS + 1 TT
Highlights
Balanced glyph placement
22-hex starting zones
Glyphs
Dagmar - seize initiative by controlling the mountains
Valda - find a speed boost in the surrounding flatlands

Southern Tarns rounds out my collection of "1 MS + 1 expansion" maps (no plans for a "1 MS + 1 FA" map anytime soon). My design goal for this map was pretty simple: snow/ice/glaciers at higher elevations than other terrain.

In general, I prefer heavy snow and slippery ice. However, in this particular case I would recommend light snow and normal ice; the elevated area becomes inaccessible to some figures otherwise.

EDIT 02-06-08: The PDF file has been updated - the starting zones have been rearranged and expanded to 24 hexes.

New map: Pool of Reflection. 1 MS + 2 FF
Highlights
Symmetrical Layout
21-hex starting zones
Glyphs
3 potential glyph locations

My first map using more than one expansion. I wish I could say I enjoyed designing it, but the map I envisioned required more terrain. Anyway, this map has a smaller footprint than my previous maps despite the extra set. It also has (0 to 3) random glyphs rather than specified glyphs.

New map: Embattled Fen. 1 SM + 1 FA
Highlights
Symmetrical layout
23-hex starting zones
Glyphs
Wannok - fear the fen

Swarm of the Marro! Not a lot of terrain, so I decided to bolster it with the castle set. I felt Wannok was the best choice of the new glyphs, but feel free to substitute whatever glyph you like. There seem to be some strong feelings about the Wannok glyph.

Use of the castle set was a thematic decision, but it also resulted in every terrain set being represented at least once in my maps. Between that and temporarily having run out of new ideas, I most likely won't be adding more maps anytime soon.

EDIT 02-06-08: The PDF file has been updated - Embattled Fen now has 24-hex starting zones.

That's good for battling... might even be competetive. Might.

New map: Temptation. 1 MS + 1 VW
Highlights
Symmetrical Layout
Challenging glyph placement
23-hex starting zones
Glyphs
Gerda - brave the lava field to toughen defenses
Dagmar - take a risk to gain initiative
Valda - visit the hot springs for an energy boost
Astrid - seek the hidden source of power

This is a rework of one of my previous maps - Lure. Lure was the least popular of my maps, so I decided a revision was in order. Temptation retains the central characteristics of Lure. However, this version is significantly smaller, which should make the map more practical and the extension more playable. Temptation also has slightly larger start zones, and is a bit more visually appealing.

VirtualScape (version 1.037) - there's a sticky at the top of the Software forum. In the current version, the SotM terrain is on a tab labelled "Divers"; neither the Hive nor the Glyphs are included yet.

I like this map. Whenever I toy around with map-building programs, I usually end up making a body of water with a circular road around it. I also like the varied heights throughout the rest of the map.

New map: Snow Angler. 1 MS + 1 TT
Highlights
Balanced glyph placement
24-hex starting zones
Glyphs
Gerda - soak in the natural defenses of the lake
Valda - race across the lowlands to the treasure
Astrid - control the flank for a stronger attack

Another Thaelenk Tundra map. Snow Angler was designed for heavy snow and slippery ice, to complement my previous snow map. I was also hoping to break out of my symmetry rut, and the TT set is most conducive to asymmetric maps. Snow Angler is not the prettiest map, but it does provide varied terrain in a well-balanced setting.
