I have decided to clean this thread up a bit and index all my maps on the first post. I will post each map and then if there is any discussion about the map it will all be below the actual post of the map.

Deadly Crossing

Spoiler Alert!

Well I have been playing around with virtualscape and came up a map that is small and plays quick. I and my wife have play-tested it and it seems to be pretty balanced and depending on what units you and your opponent are using it can be a challenge. Let me know what you think.

I have 1 RotV, 1 SotM, 1 Marvel, and 1 BotU. I used parts of the RotV, Marvel, and SotM sets for this map. I made the bridges using the paperclip technique I saw somewhere on this site.

Paper clip binders used to build the bridges.



Here is a new bridge map that is made from 1 RotV set and 4 concrete two hex pieces from the marvel set for the bridge. I used the same bridge building technique as before.

I present Deadly Crossing.



Building instructions are here...

Nice map. May I suggest adding walls to the bridges? And what paperclip technique? What thread was it in?

[Sport351]

He doesn't have RTTFF so no walls.

Great map though, I love bridges in maps.

I'll have to do a search to see if I can find it again. I don't have time right now cause I have to go to work to earn some more heroscape money! Basically you use the small binder clips to hold the hexes togather to form a bridge. I think it was in one of the map threads.

That is a WAY cool idea! I'm sitting here in my law office thinking I've got about 100 small binder clips in my desk. I guess tonight I am going to be building a very looooong bridge.

I added a pic of how I used the paper clip binders to make bridges to the original post. I did a search on this forum and got a lot of hits for paper clips but not the exact one I was looking for that showed the technique.

[Sokol]

I tried your binder clip technique out last night and it worked beautifully. Very strong binding action. My kids are going to love this. They love to build really long bridges as it is.

[belgarath]

I'd like to take credit for the idea but I have to give it up to this site and the great mapmakers here cause that it where I got the idea from. It does work well though. You might need to use some clips to bind the two halves of the bridge together also.

[belgarath]

I added a new small map today with a bridge theme. I haven't physically built it yet to play test but I think it will be pretty balanced. I am only making small maps right now because I'm still learning about VS and I really don't have a lot of tiles. I have 1 RotV, 1 SotM, 1 Marvel, and 1 BftU sets. Hopefully I can order a fortress set or two soon as well as some RttFF sets.

Man this pic takes me back...

+rep for nostalgia


And I really like that you call your thread an 'Atas'....Classy...

I'd like to steal that but...

Steal away! I'm not the first to use the word. David Eddings is one of my favorite authors. I have read everything he wrote almost and own nearly as much as I have read.

Here is a new map I made for the GenCon contest. The title is Close Quarters.

Spoiler Alert!

There are ladders on each tower, one on each tower on the side and two ladders on the tower in the middle.
1 RotV master set and 1 FotA expansion.
