RELEASE NAME: Beyond the boundaries of our dimension lie the Splinter Realms, pocket universes ruled by the likes of Mephisto, Molgotha, Hela, and more. Home to the Dread Dormammu, the Dark Dimension is one of these hellish planes. With its pits of fire and brimstone, its hanging stalactites and cold stone dungeons, its dark energy pervading every inch, only the hardiest of mystics can hope to survive there for long.

Re: Dark Dimension - Design

Basically these are the changes we're looking at here

 

[Arch-vile]

Re: Dark Dimension - Design

Looking good.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Dark Dimension - Design

Do folks want testing with that change?

 

[Arch-vile]

Re: Dark Dimension - Design

I think we should always test maps with any changes, personally. Maybe there's another small tweak we notice that will improve the map, or maybe the tweaks have a negative side effect we didn't think of.

Minor enough changes that sanity testing may be fine though. With this not costing a slot (playtesting or otherwise) it's not slowing anything down at least so we can just throw it into other figure tests.

Re: Dark Dimension - Design

Sounds good. I did test a little with Eric the other day, but I'll do a more "official" test as part of my David Martinez tests coming up.

Re: Dark Dimension - Sanity Testing

Slightly altered what Eric and I had. Basically you just move 7 hexes worth from the middle section to those side areas. The end result looks like this:

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM
NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: DARK DIMENSION

Spoiler Alert!

Overall Look: Spicy hot

Stability: I played on TTS

Build difficulty: I played on TTS

Size: Good size – nice long footprint but doesn’t take too long to get into the action

Unit types positively affected: throwers still like it. Figures can’t squat near their start zones and snipe as much with middle areas of the map on each side being height 5 now, so melee figures feel like they have more of a chance.

Unit types negatively affected: Figures that are slow and can get sniped still hurt.

Key areas on the Map: The 5 height 3 hexers on either side are the most coveted

Areas not used much or at all: The areas with shadow spaces and the lava field near the start zone are mostly just pass over areas.

Map Summary: Plays pretty similarly to the 1.0 version just with a few more places to fight over near the middle.

Team Test
Map: DARK DIMENSION (Revised)
Units: David Martinez (160), Baron Zemo, Enchantress, Executioner (1000)
vs Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Nightwing (1000)
Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Enchantress with 2/5 Life and David Martinez with 3/4 Life win..

Proposal for Final Editing (where the real work will begin!).

Re: Dark Dimension - VOTE 4 Final Editing

Yea

 

[japes]

Re: Dark Dimension - VOTE 4 Final Editing

That's true. Maps are the only thing that take more work making the PDF's than the entire rest of the thread

Re: Dark Dimension - VOTE 4 Final Editing

One more will do it

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Dark Dimension - VOTE 4 Final Editing

This passes on time to little interest

 

[japes]

Re: Dark Dimension - Final Editing

do you have the VS file for the changes and a list of tiles yet?

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: Dark Dimension - Final Editing

I do not. Need to work on those.

Re: Dark Dimension - Final Editing

Eric put together a VS for me. Art posted...
