HexiCon 2 Map Contest #1: BoV Map Redux

Preparations are underway for HexiCon 2 in March 2024, and with that I’m hosting TWO map contests! One contest is for a Battlefields of Valhalla (BoV) Map Redux, while the other is UnOrthodox Map Parameters.

Link to BoV Maps

For this contest specifically, the goal is to update BoV Maps to modern standards, in one of two ways:

1. Redesign the BoV maps using the same terrain sets, while still being able to tell it was inspired by the original.

Example: Fire Isles by yagyuninja vs Fire Isles: OEAO Edition



2. Redesign the BoV maps using different terrain sets, while still being able to tell it was inspired by the original.

Example: Fulcrum (Dignan) vs Dark Fulcrum (Gamebear)





Map Building Parameters:

• Map Submissions can have no more than 1 Master Set and 2 Expansions
• OR 2 Master Sets and 1 Expansion
• 1x Marvel set can count as 1 Expansion, while 2x Marvel can count as 1 Master Set or 2 Expansions
• 24 hex start zone
• Accommodation for Marro Hive is NOT necessary. The base can straddle level 0 terrain while on level 1 spaces.
• The Top level of the Warehouse ruins MUST be removed if used, and this must be mentioned in the build rules since VS doesn't have a way to remove it.
• Uncapped Pillars are legal.

SUBMISSIONS:
Submissions should include a display image (ideally a 3D VirtualScape rendering) and build instructions
A maximum of 2 entries per person. One of the maps must be new for this contest and not already designed/posted on the forums prior to this contest.

DEADLINE:

September 30, 2023.

VOTING:

Winner will be chosen by Public Polling.

PRIZES:

Winner will receive a set of HexiCon 2 participation alt art cards.

I've had a lot of fun with this contest, but I figure I should stop myself while I still can before these become even less recognizable. I am a huge mad_wookiee fan, so hopefully no one takes these re-imaginings as editorial, rather, more like singing his song in my own presumably less angry and guttural voice. Looking forward to all the new renditions!

Great job.

@Ulysses could you edit your post so your second map has a image? I almost missed it.

I'm digging Sasquatch Jungle Gym! And I'm loving all the names people are coming up with.

[Chris Perkins]

Posting this in the right thread this time (I hope).

Dark Sidewinder
Sets: BftU x2, TT x1


Highways & Darkness
Sets: BftU x2, FotA x1, RttFF x1

[ryguy266]

Here is my submission for the contest!
Iceways and Sliceways
Sets: 2x TT, 2x FotA


I had actually made this before the contest began because I was browsing the Highways and Dieways Family thread and noticed that this was the only terrain set missing. So now the family is complete! (Although a better cartographer than me could probably tweak this and make better use of the terrain...but the proof of concept is there.)

[MegaSilver]

It technically doesn't have a master set, but you know what it's so cool I'll allow it.

[Dysole]

Okay here are my maps. Maybe they're actually good. I don't know. They are both silly ideas.

Fire Isles: Arson Edition

SotM x1, VW x2



Dance of the Dryads the Version Dryads Would Actually Want

RotV x1, RttFF x1, TJ x1
