Cleon's Maps: New map - Grove (6/16/24)

[Cleon]

This thread is focusing on maps involving strictly tournament play. Each map is 1v1 with 24 space start zones. Most of the maps require glyphs (whether random or static) which are highly recommended to be included when playing. Same goes for the notion of Normal or Heavy/Slippery with Snow or Ice terrain. Treasure Glyphs will be denoted by the Glyph of Brandar.

Short list for easy reference:

1. Mountainside (1 RotV)
2. Flanked (1 RotV, 1 RttFF)
3. Old Heat (1 RotV, 1 VW)
4. Pathways (1 SotM, 1 TJ)
5. Hideout (1 RotV, 1 TT)
6. Breach (1 RotV, 1 FotA)
7. Impasse (1 SotM, 1 RttFF)

11. Ambush (1 RotV, 1 RttFF)
12. Keep Low (1 SotM, 1 TJ)
13. The Trench (1 SotM, 1 BftU)
14. Athwart (1 RotV, 1 TT)
15. Backwash (1 SotM, 1 TT)
16. Morning Skirmish (1 RotV, 1 RttFF)

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

Very nice map ! It has some similarities with Turret Rock, a classic of the BoV, but it looks a little smaller, with more changes in levels.

Yes but much better than Turret Rocks imo

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

A nice addition to the realm of 1xRotV maps. Well done. I'm looking forward to more.

 

[Cleon]

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

I don't really know what I was thinking with the first picture I posted haha, it really doesn't do the map justice. I just uploaded two more pictures of each side to better show the map.

Thanks for the kind words.

Turret Rocks is a pretty cool map aesthetically and was a fun map to play on way back in the day with friends, but it's a pretty terrible map for competitive play. Literally the definition of Dragon perches. If one player has Dragons or AE or Protectors and the other player has little to no range, that's a free win.

Several of the early BoV maps aren't very good tournament maps honestly; that was back before the metagame and understanding of melee balance developed.

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

Home for the summer, gonna start posting more maps soon once I get some free time from work. I also need to post the building instructions for Mountainside (need to figure out how to do that).

I have many maps done though, so I should be pumping out new stuff frequently. Just need to figure out how to upload them to the downloads section and I should be golden.

Next map I'm posting is x1 RotV, x1 RttFF, for those wondering

We're running another map building contest here and trying to get as many people involved as possible. Would love to see you submit some awesome maps (you're allowed up to 2 submissions). And the themed dice bowl for the winner (made by TREX) is no joke one of the best I've ever seen. He does amazing work and whoever gets that gem will be coveted at every tourney they go to. He'll be posting pics soon.

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

Good looking map, Cody.

I'm glad to see people still making old school maps. I feel like the definitive single RotV map has yet to be made.

I agree, the first page of BoV is really hit or miss.

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

Bringing this thread back......sorry for my hiatus. Need someone to finally show me how to get maps up on this site though (also I gotta use something other than Photobucket), I'm not very adept at these sort of things haha.

I have like 10+ tournament maps done and ready to go that I'm stoked about. So if someone cares to help me or walk me through getting them up, you will be forever appreciated and the brownie points will be astronomical.

Once you have the PDF with the build instructions ready, and a map image ready (make sure it's not a .bmp image file because the site won't display it properly) follow these steps:

At the top of the page click "Downloads".
Right under the navigation bar, click "Add".
Fill out the Name, who the author was, the Description etc.
Once you have filled all that out, under the description feild, set the category to "Battlefeilds".
Under the category selection, click the "Browse" button.
Find the PDF file for your map on your computer, and click "Open".
Then, after all of that is done, at the bottom of the page, click "Add File".

Once you have your file uploaded to can add an image to it.
While looking at the download page for your newly uploaded map PDF file, find and click the "Browse" button towards the bottom of the page.
Find the map image that corresponds with the PDF you uploaded, and click "Open".
Then click "Add Image".

Taduh. You have now uploaded, and setup a map for download to this site. You can copy the URL and post it in this thread to attract attention to it. The Map image will give interested parties something to look at, and to help them decide it they like the map. You can also post the image in this thread to help attract attention to it.

My main problem is I don't know how to get the maps into PDF files; the maps are just HSC files on my computer that are each titled '(MapName).hsc'. Do you guys convert these into PDF files somehow?

 

[superfrog]

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

You need a PDF writer. Windows 10 comes with one, but you can also download CutePDF for free. Then go File --> Print, and choose the PDF option as your printer. It'll open a new dialog where you can choose the file name to save your PDF.

Rebooting this. It's time to finally get my stuff up here for people to be able to use in competitive games. I have about 15 maps done and 5+ more in the works, just need help posting them, which I'll be working on the next few days.

[Cleon]

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/12/17 - Mountainside

Thanks to tremendous help from Flash_19, Mountsainside is up for download! And, here are two more maps - Flanked and Old Heat!

Flanked:

Download

Sets Required: 1 RotV, 1 RttFF
Glyphs: 2 random Power Glyphs
Description: This map was intended to be much more asymmetrical than it turned out to be, but I'm very satisfied with it. Basically it's a build up to the road in the middle, with roads available on both sides of the start zones. The ruins and tree clusters keep cover from the middle road and highest points on the map. Glyphs are down in the water and are accessible from both the road and pathway (to the righside) of each start zone, and just the road from the left. The name is the idea of flanking units, moving around the trees or ruins and sneak attacking units in the middle. Also, the water tiles on the higher levels you can flank around, if units are trying to infiltrate your start zone once they get passed the ruins.

Old Heat:

Download

Sets Required: 1 RotV, 1 VW
*Terrain Not Used: 4 Water Tiles
Glyphs: 2 random Power Glyphs
Description: This might be one of my favorites of mine. It's a 1 VW RotV map that uses high molten lava spaces to provide more cover than just the ruins. This map combination can be difficult, and I think more cover is almost always better. Moltenclaw is the one thing that breaks just simply placing molten lava on high tiles, so I've made sure melee units can make it to all molten hexes, with adjacent spaces to each that aren't too low. It's basically symmetrical, other than the ruins, but how they're faced I think it's virtually equal for both sides. The start zones are the same for each but do not mirror each other the same way the rest of the map does, which I discovered I liked (two kinds of symmetry merged essentially). The glyph next to the lava tower is harder to get than the other one, but both are the same distance for each player. I came up with the name Old Heat due to the fact that I've been trying to make this map for a very long time, or at least had it in my head, and finally buckled down and came up with a result I like. It's almost like an 'old' map I made that finally came to fruition. Also it's like old volcanoes waking up, which I thought was dope.

 

[Cleon]

Re: Cleon's Maps: 2 New Maps 12/31/18 - Flanked and Old Heat

I'm going to post some additional pictures of each of the three I have up today and possibly edit descriptions, but here's a rough (sneak peek) schedule of my maps to come for those interested:

4. Pathways (1 SotM, 1 TJ)
5. Hideout (1 RotV, 1 TT)
6. Breach (1 RotV, 1 FotA)
7. Impasse (1 SotM, 1 RttFF)
8. Mystic (1 BftU, 1 TT) (name subject to change)
9. The Flow (1 RotV, 1 VW, 1 TJ)
10. Secret Cemetery (1 RotV, 1 FotA, 1 RttFF)
11. Ambush (1 RotV, 1 RttFF)
12. Greenlands (1 RotV, 1 TJ, 1 RttFF)
13. Bloodlands (1 RotV, 1 VW, 1 RttFF)
14. Keep Low (1 SotM, 1 TJ)
15. Untitled (1 SotM, 1 TT)
16. Untitled (1 RotV, 1 TT)
17. Crush (1 SotM, 1 VW)
18. Spider's Den (1 SotM, 1 RttFF)
19. Morning Skirmish (1 RotV, 1 RttFF)
20. Arroyo (1 RotV, 1 BftU)
21. Frost Giants (1 RotV, 1 TT)
22. The Trench (1 SotM, 1 BftU)

Probably will post Pathways later today if I have time.

 

[Cleon]

Re: Cleon's Maps: 2 New Maps 12/31/18 - Flanked and Old Heat

First map upload to start off 2019, here's my SotM/TJ map (and first SotM type map upload), Pathways!

Download

It's a 1 SotM + 1 TJ map I've had finished for a while now. I used to have a 1 SotM map called Moist Paths I made a wayyy long time ago, so the name is a throwback to that.

It uses 2 Power Glyphs and 1 Treasure Glyphs. It used to be 3 Power Glyphs, but I felt if the higher glyph was too strong, certain armies could grab it and dominate with the height surrounding it. I felt putting a Treasure Glyph there made it less of a dominant spot, and better distributed more focus on the rest of the map. Although 3 Power Glyphs can still probably work, too. As long as the glyph in the higher spot isn't that strong.

Enjoy

Next map is a Snow one called Hideout.

 

[Cleon]

Re: Cleon's Maps: New Map 1/1/19 - Pathways

Managed to find some time to get Hideout up:

Download

It uses Heavy Snow, and Normal Ice.

This is my first snow map thus far. I like the way it plays, basically you have a good amount of time to setup and traverse the height before you hit your opponent. On each side of the map is low icey water paths to the glyphs, and next to the 4-hex Glacier (and 3+1-hex on the other side) is a lower step up line of hexes for you to jump from the ice/water paths to the main raised part of the map, providing some cover. It's perfectly symmetrical (besides ruin size and 4-hex vs. 3+1-hex glaciers of course), the first one I've uploaded so far. I don't want to make too many perfectly symmetrical maps, as I feel like too many people do that and I want to focus on interesting asymmetries and balancing challenges, but I will have a far share of perfectly symmetrical maps as well. Next one is also perfectly symmetrical.

I might post another tonight (next one is a FotA one).

Let me know what you think, all feedback is appreciated
