Nice maps! I used a similar set list in my most recent map. Not much I can critique based off just the picture other than I feel as though you could utilize the road tiles a little more efficiently. It's certainly not a requirement, but I find it awkward sometimes when the road is just a space away from the start zones. I like to launch units into battle and sometimes when there's that gap between start zone and road it can make for awkward unit placement, especially when that road is on height. That isn't to say there aren't plenty of good maps that don't follow this rule, just something to consider. I'll have to give this map a try though because it does look like fun.

Excited to see what else you come up with, and welcome back!

Thanks Jaes for the feedback and encouragement. I checked out your map - it looks great as well! I find that terrain set to be a lot of fun.

Here are two maps that I created for the Scapecon III Marvelous Maps competition.

Toxic Thaw



Requirements: 2x M:tCB, 1x SotM, 1x TT

Desolate Courtyard



Requirements: 2x M:tCB, 1x FotA

I wanted to challenge myself even further so I tried to make a map using only 2 Marvel sets and 1 expansion. It was a challenge working with such less terrain than I normally would, but it was fun and a great learning experience.

I updated the two maps I made for the Marvel contest, Toxic Thaw and Desolate Courtyard.



For Toxic Thaw I smoothed out the middle leaving a level 2 path. I also changed around some of the tiles for aesthetic purposes. I'm still not sure what I want to do long term with this map; there is a lot of unused terrain so I might revisit this again and attempt to lengthen the map from its current 11 hexes between start zones.



On Desolate Courtyard I just shifted the castle walls so that there is LOS obstruction between the glyphs and the central height. I also moved one other hex next to each of the moved columns to compensate.

Thank you to everyone who gave feedback on these maps!

Here's a map that spawned out of an idea I was tinkering with for the Marvel contest.

High Tide Hideout




Requirements: 1x SotM, 1x M:tCB, 1x FotA

A once thriving port town, the abandoned ruins now serve as the hideout for a band of devious pirates!

In honor of the holiday season here is a Christmas-themed map.

Tree Farm

Requirements: 1x SotM, 1x TT, 2x RttFF

Grab a friend and take a stroll through Valhalla's only Christmas tree farm!

What! No special rules for cutting one down or a Grinch/Scrooge glyph?!?

Looks fun, going to add to my queue of maps to try out.

Thanks for trying it out! I'll have to come up with some special rules, perhaps capture the flag but instead capture the tree?

Lately I have been experimenting with a terrain set of 1x BftU, 1x MtCB + 1 expansion. Here's a couple of those maps I have been working on and believe are ready for the world!

Vagabond

Requirements: 1x BftU, 1 MtCB, 1 RttFF

Charcoal

Requirements: 1x BftU, 1 MtCB, 1 VW

Any thoughts or feedback is appreciated as always!

I really like the color blocking on Vagabond.

Thank you. It was interesting trying to make a map that was symmetrical yet had two distinct sides. Hence the name "Vagabond", as in one who wanders from place to place.
