The Custom Master Set Project-Terrain and Scenarios Thread

[Kaiser Cat]

This is the map thread for Flameslayer's Custome Master Set Project.

I, like Flameslayer, have wanted to see a ClassicScape Master Set for a long time. This project's purpose is to make it happen!

Voting/Rank Notes:

Members of Project Master Set are ranked into four groups based on their participation in this thread. You must be a registered member of the Main thread to have any rank in this thread.

1-Hexers-People who almost never contribute to this thread. In an effort to force people into our discussions, the Non-contributing 1-Hexers don't even get a vote. Fortunately, being promoted from 1-Hexer is very easy.

Three-Hexers-As soon as you've done a little bit of discussion in this thread, you are promoted to this rank. Three-Hexers get one vote in terrain discussion.

7-Hexers-Once you're active in the thread, you can be promoted to a 7-Hexer. 7-Hexers get one vote in terrain discussion and have prestigious-ness.

Cruel Overlord 24-Hexers-The mightiest forces in this thread. 24-Hexers may Promote One-Hexers and three Hexers, may start a vote as to whether or not a 7-Hexer should be promoted (All 24 and 7 hexers vote on this) and get two votes in Terrain discussion.

One Last Note on promotions:

If a 24-hexer wants to promote a three hexer, DON'T Clutter up the thread with promotion notices. Instead, send two private messages: One to Kaiser Cat, and one to the Promoted Member.

It's better to seek forgiveness than to ask permission: If you are a member in the main thread and have posted 4+ times in this thread, you are probably a 3 Hexer and I haven't updated this post yet. So go ahead an vote! If you are, in fact, NOT a 3-Hexer, I'll let you know and discount your vote.

Current Discussion:

• What types of terrain should be included in the Master Set?

-Kaiser "The Freshmaker" Cat

[Lamaclown]

As stated in the other thread I would love to help with this arm of the project.

As far as the type of terrain, I am not sure yet. Once I see a little more of where the unit themes are going I will have a better idea.

I know some things I would like to see:
More "forest-y" rocks than the present D&D outcroppings (although those are some of my favorite terrain).

Maybe at least one multiple player map/scenario.

We need to include some glyphs for a true MSish feel.

On the "slim-to-none" end of things, some interactive terrain.

As I already said though, I will wait to see what type of units we settle on before making final suggestions

I would love to help, but I'm not sure how much time I can commit to playtesting and such. I'll still try to help when I can, adding suggestions and the like.

I think the Customs Thread can handle this one

Volcanos. The tundra set has glacial mountains, BftU has rock outcroppings. We need volcanoes and the molten lava and lava field tiles to go with them as part of the MS terrain list. It's relatively easy to repaint Marvel asphalt tiles for the lava field and water, swamp water, or shadow tiles to molten lava (if I can do it, most everyone else should be able).

Large Rock
Destructible Object

2 Life
Defense 4

Tumble
When a large rock is destroyed all figures adjacent to the large rock receive one unblockable wound

My feel for a master set needs to be imagery more than new powers. I like the idea of keeping it simple. Over all here are my basic ideas.

• 6 Prairie Tiles (24 Hex)
• 5 Prairie Tiles (7 Hex)
• 5 Prairie Tiles (3 Hex)
• 5 Prairie Tiles (2 Hex)
• 16 Prairie Tiles (1 Hex)
• 2 Dirt Tiles (24 Hex)
• 3 Dirt Tiles (7 Hex)
• 3 Dirt Tiles (3 Hex)
• 3 Dirt Tiles (2 Hex)
• 6 Dirt Tiles (1 Hex)
• 2 Mud Tiles (7 Hex)
• 2 Mud Tiles (3 Hex)
• 2 Mud Tiles (2 Hex)
• 4 Mud Tiles (1 Hex)
• 11Mud Water Tiles (1 Hex)
• 10 Quick Sand tiles (1 Hex)
• 1 Destructible Object & 1 immovable figure (like the hive)

I like it chief.

Hey guys im new here but i have always wanted to see some sort of a trench and bunker system incorporated into heroscape without the use of the castle if heroscape is truly the greatest battle of all time its going to need some more advanced fortifications. You could even add some kind of barb wire barriers as destructible objects, for that matter you could even have the bunkers themselves be destructible objects with manable weapons inside such as catapults, cannons, howitzers, machine guns. justs to add another level to the game by creating multiple strong points for attack and defense. thanks for reading hope to hear your ideas soon.

This is...

Spoiler Alert!

A GREAT idea

[Chaotick]

I'd just like to see more destructible objects, like that rock, if anything. I thought up this idea:

Boulder
Destructible object

1 life
7 defense

Landslide

When this Boulder is destroyed, if there is a ground tile next to it lower than its base, it is placed on that space. This motion continues until there are no tiles lower than the base of the Boulder next to the base. Roll the 20-sided die once for every unit it passed through.
1-17: The figure is destroyed
18-19: The figure takes one wound
20: Nothing happens
After this power has been executed, remove the Boulder from play.

I don't know if I contributed much with this... it was just a random idea that popped into my head.

There will be plenty of scenarios. I'm not sure what you mean by "Interactive Terrain."

Suggestions would be great!

So...Glacier repaints? I'm not sure having a MS devoted to Lava is a good idea.

I'll see what others think about this one.

I'm not the only one who was thinking of Plain (Prairie) Tiles!?! Not sure about Mud and Dirt, we do already have sand and Swamp water. I'm all for keeping things simple.

Battlements and RttFF walls are great for trenches. Mannable weapons don't seem very Heroscape-y.

Very Nice, but way too powerful.
