Typhon2222's Maps — updated Odin Wept & Apoc Now (3/12/2023)

[Typhon2222]

Welcome, gentlefolk, to my map thread.

Here you'll find 2 BoV maps, 2 WoS maps, 4 GenCon maps, and 2 ScapeCon maps, along with my other stuff.

Many of them — Apocalypse Now, Avernus, Borogoves, Blood Shard, Caldera, Dance of the Dryads, Desperado, Ice Thistle, Moisture Farms, Mome Raths, Morh, Odin Wept, Song of the Walrus, and Stygian Rift — can be played online.

NEW: thanks to Lyrgard and his amazing HexScape, it seems that mapmakers now have good reason to make their VirtualScape .hsc files publicly available. So if anyone wants to load these into HexScape (or tinker with them in VirtualScape), here in a Dropbox folder are the original .hsc files for most of my maps.
______________________________________________________________________
My first map with this particular terrain combo (Dungeon + Tundra + Lava).
The earlier version could be abused by ranged pods setting up shop on the big 24-hex slab. This version solves that problem.
Odin Wept
1 BftU, 1 TT, 1 VW
ScapeCon map: 2022
Board for online play


______________________________________________________________________
Winner of the ScapeCon III Marvelous Map Contest.
This one strives to evoke a ruined military compound in the midst of the jungle.
Apocalypse Now
2 M:TCB, 1 BftU, 1 TJ
Board for online play


______________________________________________________________________
An improvement on Dance of the Dryads? In many ways I think so. At the very least, there aren't many competitive maps that use only one Dungeon set. I'm quite proud of how far this map stretches the terrain.
Stigmata
1 BftU, 1 RttFF, 1 VW


______________________________________________________________________
Stygian Rift
2 BftU, 1 VW
GenCon map: 2013, 2014, 2018
Inducted into the Battlefields of Valhalla.
Inducted into the Wargrounds of Scape.
Board for online play


______________________________________________________________________
I've tweaked one of my favorites here. Now has better glyph access, more dynamic height in the center, and clearer/more logical SZs, among other tweaks.
Hard to squeeze a competitive map out of a single BftU and single Tundra, but I think this little baby does the trick.
Ice Thistle
1 BftU, 1 TT
Board for online play


______________________________________________________________________
My first creation for the ScapeCon III Marvelous Map Contest. Fun with Marvel!
I'm really pleased with how this one turned out, especially with how the glyph areas interact with the central heights through the linking shadow.
Nightfall
2 M:TCB, 1 BftU, 1 RttFF
ScapeCon map: 2023


______________________________________________________________________
Another new map. Owes something to the classic Stygian Rift, but offers lots of new choices.
Blood Star
2 BftU, 1 VW


______________________________________________________________________
If you're looking for a map that uses only Swamp and Lava, you can probably do worse than this one.
Phlegrean Fields
1 SotM, 1 VW


______________________________________________________________________
Mome Raths
2 BftU, 1 TJ
Board for online play


______________________________________________________________________
A version of Mome Raths without jungle, for those who lack a TJ set.
Mime Raths
2 BftU


______________________________________________________________________
Another classic that's been recently improved, thanks to suggestions for the WoS gang. The old version was too easily clogged, and too flat on top. This one has been widened and the hive/big glacier bumped outward, to prevent clogging. There's also dynamic height in the middle now, and much more room for maneuvering, along with a smooth LVL2 path running all the way around the hive/big glacier for easier flanking.
Song of the Walrus
1 SotM, 1 TT

Borogoves
2 BftU, 1 TJ
GenCon map: 2019

Dance of the Dryads
1 BftU, 1 RttFF, 1 VW
GenCon map: 2015, 2019

Thinking the map resembled a space ship, I named it after the 1979 arcade game. Milks a single BftU for all it's worth. (If you knew that "galaxy" comes from the Greek word meaning 'milky'.... you can stop groaning now.)

YAR'S REVENGE
(accepted for review by the Maps for Noobs)
Yar's Revenge was an early video game designed for the Atari 2600 in 1981, which challenged the player to blast holes through the circular walls of a space castle. The blasted walls of this map reminded me of the game.

The name is a silly pun. Is gaining the margins of the map worth it, or only a marginal gain?

I think you're posting the images wrong.

If you right click on the picture, go to properties, and highlight and copy the URL, then you can type in [IMG]URL HERE[/IMG] to post the pic.

I used no corner or straight segments — only end ones.

Yay! MARGINS of ERROR has been accepted for review by the fine judges of the Warzones of Valhalla.

We're using "Margins of Error" in a 2v2 tournament. Looks like a great map! I'll let you know how it goes.
