Ch1can0´s Custom Maps - for 2 MS - New Map: Escher Infinity

[Sokol]

Nice map, Ch1can0!

Awesome stuff as always, ch1cano. I love the loop.

[Jexik]

Yeah, it's a very clever design.

My only worry is whether there is enough incentive to take the low road. Are there strong glyphs underneath?

Also, your diagrams demonstrate a good way to make "road" maps: First build the road where you want it to go and then fill in from there (tweaking if necessary, of course).

thx, AliasQTip. Glad to hear you like the map. Nice avatar and interesting to see from where you took it.

Möbius battlefield is quite a task. let´s see if i can bend space this weekend...

And yes, this time i´ve builded the road first, it´s the main part and i wanted it to run smoothly up and down, so i made the loop first and then looked for the best way to fill the space underneath...

1Mmirg, thx for your comment Hope you´ll like the map.

Jexik: i thought the same building the map, so on infinity II there are 4 glyphs on level 1, two of them under the bridge. There are only two glyphs on higher parts, but not so easy to hold and on the edge of the map. The lower road is also the shortest/fastest to the opponents start zone. So i hope there will be enough incentive to use it. Didn´t had a chance to test it yet and won´t be able to soon, so battlereports are appreciated.

Perhaps the bridge could be a bit higher to let more units pass beneath it, mmh...

Sokol, Dignan thx for your kind comments, and thx to everyone for your comments & rep points

btw, building instructions for these maps are available now (:

I got a couple more games on Rampart(1) with Tul-Bak-Ra, and must say, he has a blast on the map!

The first p should be a b in thumb. And I agree, great maps!

Not if you're playing techno music on a Kick drum to honor a such great mapper

Bumping this thread because it *really* deserves it.

We have Last Defense set up at home now and it looks *awesome*, plus it was, as all Ch1can0's maps have been, fun to build.

I played Last Defense at a tournament once. Great looking map and awesome for casual play. 'Course, in the tournament the other guy had a dragon which really sucked.

Hard to imagine it on a tourney table. For one thing it's huge, for another it has one giant 'dragon perch' in the middle. But for a casual game I couldn't ask for more, it is glorious.

So I said to KidScaper, let's not use flying. He rolled his eyes and said ok...

...

... and picked the Airborne Elite.

Smart kid.

This is a beautifully designed map. So aesthetic with the scale-like steps.
