Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 9/28/24)

Re: Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 4/11/19)

The only real problem Ive found with glyphs in the middle of water like that is the imbalance when it comes to flying figures compared with non flying melee figures. They have to stop on the water edge, then move forward to attack the character on the glyph. It just makes it much harder for them to dethrone a figure from the glyph.

Re: Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 4/11/19)

Yeah certainly with this being a competitive map, it's not suitable for tournament play, and you'd draft an appropriate army for the map, so melee would probably be a bad idea. And again, the glyph placements are just a suggestion. Placing two next to the trees at the north and south of the pond instead of having three I think would also help melee not be overrun by flying or slithering figures.

Stripped it back and did a single RotV map. I've been sitting on a ton of completed maps some tested, some not, that I need to get posted so hopefully I can get to that soon.

Grassland Mesa - Competitive

Another one I've been sitting on for a while. Got to play it the other night. First asymmetrical map in a while. Highly recommend using glyphs where shown on this map or else red has a large advantage.

Heavy Hills

Hey all, been a long time, as is tradition (exactly 1 year since my last map, pure coincidence lol). This is the biggest map I've designed so far, with 6 master sets and 6 expansions! Let me know what you think!

Still find it fun to just build with 1 Master Set! A simple but fun one for today.

Just added Sunken Wastes. I feel Battle for the Underdark is often under-represented on here so I wanted to give it some love. I also think BftU and VW look really good together aesthetically. So visually this is one of my favorite maps and it's also fun to play on!

Sunken Wastes - Competitive
2 BftU

Added Esperanza Coast, another really big, really fun castle map. This map is asymmetrical and while I didn't have a specific scenario in mind, I imagine a storm the castle type scenario with the ones in the castle with a point deficit would be best, and is how I tested the map. Let me know what you think of it!

That’s amazing. Totally making that for one of my group game days!

The community needs more maps like this. Keep up the good work

Thanks Sir Heroscape! Please let me know what you think of it if you get a chance to play it!

Another small, square map. Wanted to do what I did with Squashtraphobia, but with SotM. Designed for 400pts heroes only.

New map, that incentivizes getting out of the start zone and into the action as quick as possible!

RIP the marro hive.

Looks fun though, definitely makes development different.

Re: Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 1/18/21)

Just posted The Treacherous Road, another one from about 2 years ago. Wanted to keep the action away from the center and force it to the sides so I made the roads not connect. If you decide you want them to be connected though there are 2 unused road hexes that can easily be slotted in.

Re: Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 1/19/21)

This is finally one I actually designed and played this week! Still feel a little rusty map building after about 2 years off but it's starting to come back to me. My interest in this game is back as strong as ever and I'm loving it!

Took a stab at another scenario map.

Spoiler Alert!

Mysterious Power of the Volcarren Waste

500 Point armies

2 Players

Special Rules:
Figures within 1-2 spaces of the Glyph of Brandar receive +3 attack and defence dice. Figures within 3-4 spaces of the Glyph of Brandar receive +2 attack and defence dice. Figures within 5-6 spaces of the Glyph of Brandar receive +1 attack and defence dice.

Figures with Lava Resistance receive +2 attack and defence dice within 1-2 spaces of the Glyph of Brandar, and +1 attack and defence dice within 3-4 spaces of the Glyph of Brandar. No bonus is given to figures with Lava Resistance 5 spaces or further from the Glyph of Brandar.

Figures may not end their turn on the Glyph of Brandar. Figures are not allowed to move underneath the overhangs (however this should already be impossible).

Re: Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 1/24/21)

Ooo, at first glance, I quite like this one.

Not terribly crazy about that dip in the center road, probably better to level it out imo...but seems pretty neat. Oh, also the glyphs...probably too protected...I'd try to push them out to the edge where they're open and exposed. Especially if they're random glyphs...that position is practically impenetrable.

 

[Brian]

Re: Br1an's Battlefields (New Map 1/24/21)

Thanks for the feedback! My thought process for the glyph placement was that it's in a position where an attacker could have height advantage from 2 spaces attacking down on it. If I moved it to the outer tiles it would all be even footing, unless it was at the very edges, which I don't normally like to put glyphs at the very edge of a map. But luckily you can just place glyphs wherever you want on a map, mine are just suggestions

Today's map is Corazón del Diablo, a heavy lava map with road running all around it. I'm finally getting down to the last few in my backlog of maps lol.
