Bumping for a new map, Dark and Deep.

Howdy, I did my Calibrax tests on Silence and Solitude, and I really like the look of it. It is near impossible to kill Raelin though when she gets on those single-hexers.

Thanks for running a few games on it!

I assume you mean the stone spaces in the center of the map? I had an earlier version where they weren't so high. I might see about tinkering it a little bit to make it less Raelin-friendly. Let me know how any future games go.

EDIT: The highest space in the middle is just as high as the outside wings' high points. Were you referring to those? Lowering the middle would allow the wings to get a better shot on the middle, but I'm not sure which hexes you had a concern with.

[greygnarl]

Any of them, depending on where you want to setup you can put her on any and against pretty much anything she's rolling 4 defense dice. And it only takes 1 OM.

[superfrog]

Well, I might see about making them all level 4 (or is it 5) whatever the level under the current one fight now is. I'll have to look at the map closer again, but I think with a few rotations I can get the single-hexes on the grass hills a little farther away from the center of the action.

[greygnarl]

You could make the middle of the map symmetrical by making the top layer one 4 hex slab.

[superfrog]

Huh, I hadn't thought of that. That would go on top of the 6 hex slab that's already there?

EDIT:

Lowered the middle to a 4-hex slab on level 4 and rotated the level 5's out away from the center of the map, and fixed some tile placement errors (floating level 2 water?!?!?), etc.
