Shurrig's Maps: Tigress

Nice! It really conveys the theme well.

Now I am nowhere near a seasoned map expert, but the center hill looks like it would offer a significant vantage point for ranged figures (10th Regiment of Foot, for example), and might be challenging to assault. What if two columns were added on the top hill? That would obstruct the amount of clear shots the hill defenders would have.

Good idea, M. I love the map too and the columns would make it even better.

Hey, thanks for checking out my thread!

Part of the thesis of this design was actually to limit LoS blockers and keep that middle pretty open. I think the ladders, road, and the overall size of the map actually helps deal with range. Given that its so small, Knights can reach level 4 and attack those positions within 2 turns. Though, I will admit that they can easily shoot at the glyphs, so maybe the sides could use a little cover.

I appreciate the feedback, I really enjoy the collaborative nature that mapmaking in this community welcomes and oftentimes catches things I've missed.

Your explanation makes sense; there are plenty of columns and battlements to sneak around before you make a run at the hill.

I like that concept.

Happy new year! I wanted to use a terrain combo that is rarely if at all used, specifically Marvel, Fortress, Tundra, so I've got a bit of an odd one here. Here's Kuraokami:

Nice combo! I think it works well.

At a glance, I like it a lot. my gut feeling of the ruin placement seems like it's more aesthetics than functionally useful...but that's not always bad.

Thanks! And yeah, I've been trying to make double long ruins work for a minute, trying to compensate for all the double short ruin maps out there. I'm happy with where they ended up, as the spaces behind them are best used as launch points onto level 3.
