Ulysses' Maps

[Sir Heroscape]

Dope set of maps you've thrown in here.

Here's my Hot Takes:

Breeding Grounds - so creepy...friggin' LOVE it. Easily gunna be a staple multiplayer map.

Frost Heave - sorry, but this is a nope for me too chokey

Moor or Loes - Love the name, map looks good. Left feels a bit hard to develop out of though?

Are you Afraid of the Underdark? - Easily my favorite aesthetically looking map in a long time (just hope it also plays good). LOVE. THIS. Please more. I want to build now and try it out.

Snowmeostasis - this map makes me want to curl up in a cozy blanket. It's the "comfort food" of maps. Everything feels "in place", simple and intentional.

Those are some fantastic looking maps! And I love a good Pink Floyd reference (at least that's what I'm guessing...)

Breeding Grounds looks like an awesome 2v2 map! I would love to see a version of it that's reworked a little to work as a 4-way FFA map.

I also really like Sniper at the Gates of Dawn and Are You Afraid of the Underdark, though I feel uneasy about putting the latter in a tourney pool with so much high ground right outside the start zone.

Can’t believe I missed a hot take on “Sniper…”

I really like that map. Looks really good and would wanna tests that one out.

Had to pull you away from LotR LCG somehow!

Thanks for the feedback SH! I opened up Frost Heave's center quite a bit, I think it should help, though I may keep tinkering. I use the Hive base in the SZ for Moor or Loess and I've tried to achieve a counterbalance by giving that side faster access to height than the lvl 1 SZ side. The goal was to have turn 1 and 2 development end up fairly even out of either side, but I'll look closer. I've made a few updates to AYAotU, hope you haven't built it yet Love the way you put it for Snowmeostasis, comfort food and a cozy blanket sound pretty nice in the Tundra!

Thank you so much! I'm glad the Floyd reference didn't go unnoticed. It's not as obvious as something like Dark Side of the Moon Tribe

Thanks Caps! BG would be fun as 4-way, I'll have to tinker with that. I certainly agree about Are You Afraid of the Underdark. As I tend to do, the map was originally made for a specific game night (3v3 with newer players, small armies) and since been somewhat smoothed out for more general play. I hadn't been thinking of it as a tourney map necessarily, but will try to get it dialed in better because I do love the aesthetics.

Updated maps:
Sniper at the Gates of Dawn
Are You Afraid of the Underdark
Frost Heave

I'm going to try and start putting version info and date on the last page of my PDFs to make things more clear when I do updates.

Thanks for chiming in y'all!

[Sir Heroscape]

Really liking the updates! Solid set of maps here.

[Foudzing]

Awesome maps!

[Ulysses]

I've been loving seeing Sir Heroscape, Bigga, and others rework their old maps recently and needed to get in on the action. Here's a much more balanced version of Twisted Cistern. I've also added it to my online maps folder for Google Docs play.

New:

Old:

Spoiler Alert!

[Sir Heroscape]

Much better! I like this quite a bit!

I built Sniper at the Gates of Dawn recently for a family tournament and really enjoyed it!

Is the name a play off of "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" from The Wind in the Willows (the chapter where Mole and Rat basically meet God)?

I'm so glad it treated you well! The name is indeed a play off Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but by way of Pink Floyd's first album, which is very likely a reference to the book chapter. I had no idea! There's actually the PF album cover art in the background of the map image, but it's nearly impossible to make out Thanks for giving it a play!
