superfrog's maps -- Cucumber 6/10

Re: superfrog's maps -- Grayscale 8/30

Vixen build instructions. It uses 1 SotM, 1 TT, and 1 VW, with 2 random glyphs.

Looks very solid, I like the single hex ice next to lava heights. Hoping I can get a game on it soon!

Compact build instructions. It uses 1 RotV, with 2 random glyphs and 2 optional random treasure glyphs.

Compact is my attempt at a 1x RotV. Kind of a cross between Dry Season and Origin, as far as the ruin placement and level 2 pathing go.

----------

Also a very slight edit to Vixen: one space in each center corridor has been swapped from lava field to snow.

Nice! It's good to see another RotV map; it looks great! I like the inclusion of the treasure glyphs.
 
Re: superfrog's maps -- Compact 11/2

Yeah, looks really solid. I like the slight asymmetry you've got going on here

Update to Compact:

Compact build instructions. It uses 1 RotV, with 2 random glyphs and 2 optional random treasure glyphs.

Added a bit of extra level 4, shrunk the side pools a bit, and restructured the outer height. Should make everything a bit smoother.
 
I lost a bunch of image links to discord recently and had to re-host them on ‘Scapers, so I took that as an excuse to do a slight restructuring of my OP. Biggest difference is I’ve pulled my best couple of maps out of each spoiler. But please do click through, anything there in the top section is worth perusal (imo).

A couple updates hopefully coming soon to Arboretum, Gradient, Tendril, and Throughline. And Vixen just got an update ahead of its usage at Scape Summit.
 
Made several updates to Arboretum:

  • ruins moved towards the center by a space
  • gave right 7-hex of the SZ better access to the center
  • slimmed down the left central heights
  • expanded the right height and removed the level 3 road hex
  • moved some trees
  • added some slight asymmetry on the level 2 out of the left SZ to account for the different sized ruins

Shroud of Torin build instructions. It uses 2 BftU and 1 FotA, with 2 random glyphs.

Still unsure especially on the ladders and battlements here, any thoughts or play experiences would be helpful!

@superfrog, I just went to download the build instructions for Arboretum for a tourney tomorrow, and it only has the image of the map.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out! My VS has been having a weird bug lately but I have fixed it I believe. The same link should work correctly now.
 
Thanks for getting that updated. I was able to bring it, and it was actually the first map I played on. Aesthetically Arboretum's a great looking map. Unfortunately for a proper gameplay review (and for my opponent), my Stingers took out Braxas almost immediately, so the rest of the game was mostly picking off the stragglers, and there wasn't much opportunity for tactical movememt and positioning.

Glad I got it to you in time! And yeah, I really love its aesthetics, a refreshing use of rock in an RotV map imo.
 
@superfrog I played some GC practice games with AoA stuff with Sheep on Compact and it was a good one. I thought the middle might be too cramped and the level 4 spots too powerful but neither were. And the water around the glyphs was interesting, adding some uniqueness. I’d recommend it for a 1 RotV map. :up:

Good to hear! I’ve been happy with it but the sides have proved slightly controversial, at least to some theoryscapers. I’d be glad from more feedback from the GenCon attendees.

Ah, as in "Cool as a..." I finally just got it. :lol:

Yes sir! Cool and green. Got a new version coming this week that smooths a few things out in an attempt to correct the rightward pull.

Little update to Cucumber, smoothed out a few things on levels 2 and 3.
