I had a few fellow scapers try and they are seeing the images. They do sometimes load slowly depending on your connection since they are larger files than VS screen shots. Maybe give it another go and wait on the page a while? Hope it works and thanks for dropping in!
@Ulysses, previously when I visited your thread, I could see your amazing photographs of your maps in the OP. But now, when I open the 'spoiler', I'm presented with merely a list of your maps's links — no pics.

Re: Ulysses' Maps (New Map 8/2021)
Was looking over this and noticed that the level 4 hexes hexes aren’t even on each side. The big ruin side uses the rock single hex on level 3 to the side of the level 4 single hex instead of creating the 3-hex on level 4.
My only suggestion then would be to turn the 3-hex towards the grass a space so that two of its three spaces are adjacent to the grass. That would allow double spacer to engage the glyphs on high ground and make it so that half of the level 4 spaces are reachable from the SZ in 2 turns (5-move).

My better entry (in my opinion) from the second Scapecon map contest. Enjoy!
Broken Top Pass
Requires: 1 RotV, 1 TT, and 1 FotA (ladders and battlements only)

Gasp, do my ears deceive me?!
Those single- and double hexers are FANTASTIC for use in the substructure to prop up other tiles.

Well, uses that are seen on top of the board anyway.

Re: Ulysses' Maps (New Map 12/2022)
I've been sitting on this one for a while and it's been through several rounds of tweaks, but I think I'm happy enough with it to finally set it free. It does use two small ruins and it employs double stacked water tiles as supports, so go easy on me The name is a little shout out to two of the great hex-footprint map makers who've blazed the path before me. Happy holidays y'all! 
Flaxen Shard
Requires: 1 RotV (+ 1 additional small ruin), and 1 TJ

Just finished a game on Flaxen Shard. I really like how it played, solid map.

Thanks for putting it through its paces! I've spent quite a while with this one.

Just seeing this! And I'm honored - thanks for the nod! It looks really solid - hopefully I'll get to try it out soon, but I've got another one of yours that's a little more pressing to play some games on.

Re: Ulysses' Maps (New Map 1/2023)
In honor of the new C3V release I threw together a little 'wandering monster' style scenario for our newest dragon, Kalagrith! So sit back, grab yourself a nice Valda or two, and warm your bones (or anyone's really) over a lovely crackling fire!
Land O' Kalagrithian
Requires: 2 RotV and 1 FotA
Rules are in the build file. Enjoy!

Re: Ulysses' Maps (New Map 1/2023)
Having seen pictures of the map in action over on Discord, this scenario looks like it's tons of fun to play! Eager to set it up (when I have the time, that is...).

Re: Ulysses' Maps (Six New Maps 2023!)
Cry 'Havoc Eradicators' and let slip the Doggins of war! I've got a big ol' steaming heap of maps for y'all. There's a little bit of everything in here and certainly not all, or even most, are fit for standard tourney play, but hopefully you'll find something ya like! Many of these have been edited to death over the last year or two, so I figured it was about time to unleash them upon the public.
Breeding Grounds
Requires: 4 SotM, 2 BftU, and 2 TJ
Frost Heave
Requires: 2 BftU, 2 TT, and 1 FotA
Sniper at the Gates of Dawn
Requires: 1 RotV and 1 FotA
Moor or Loess
Requires: 1 SotM, 1 RttFF, and 1 TJ
Are You Afraid of the Underdark?
Requires: 2 BftU, 2 FotA, and 1 TJ
Snowmeostasis
Requires: 1 SotM, 1 TT, and 1 RttFF
As always, I'm happy to hear feedback and maps may get updated over time.
Also, let me know if you can't see pictures on this post. I have had some issues.

Re: Ulysses' Maps (Six New Maps 2023!)
Dope set of maps you've thrown in here.
Here's my Hot Takes:
Breeding Grounds - so creepy...friggin' LOVE it. Easily gunna be a staple multiplayer map.
Frost Heave - sorry, but this is a nope for me
too chokey
Moor or Loes - Love the name, map looks good. Left feels a bit hard to develop out of though?
Are you Afraid of the Underdark? - Easily my favorite aesthetically looking map in a long time (just hope it also plays good). LOVE. THIS. Please more. I want to build now and try it out.
Snowmeostasis - this map makes me want to curl up in a cozy blanket. It's the "comfort food" of maps. Everything feels "in place", simple and intentional.

Re: Ulysses' Maps (Six New Maps 2023!)
Breeding Grounds looks like an awesome 2v2 map! I would love to see a version of it that's reworked a little to work as a 4-way FFA map.
I also really like Sniper at the Gates of Dawn and Are You Afraid of the Underdark, though I feel uneasy about putting the latter in a tourney pool with so much high ground right outside the start zone.

Can’t believe I missed a hot take on “Sniper…”
I really like that map. Looks really good and would wanna tests that one out.

Re: Ulysses' Maps (Six New Maps 2023!)
Had to pull you away from LotR LCG somehow!
Thanks for the feedback SH! I opened up Frost Heave's center quite a bit, I think it should help, though I may keep tinkering. I use the Hive base in the SZ for Moor or Loess and I've tried to achieve a counterbalance by giving that side faster access to height than the lvl 1 SZ side. The goal was to have turn 1 and 2 development end up fairly even out of either side, but I'll look closer. I've made a few updates to AYAotU, hope you haven't built it yet Love the way you put it for Snowmeostasis, comfort food and a cozy blanket sound pretty nice in the Tundra!
Thank you so much! I'm glad the Floyd reference didn't go unnoticed. It's not as obvious as something like Dark Side of the Moon Tribe
Thanks Caps! BG would be fun as 4-way, I'll have to tinker with that. I certainly agree about Are You Afraid of the Underdark. As I tend to do, the map was originally made for a specific game night (3v3 with newer players, small armies) and since been somewhat smoothed out for more general play. I hadn't been thinking of it as a tourney map necessarily, but will try to get it dialed in better because I do love the aesthetics.
Updated maps:
Sniper at the Gates of Dawn
Are You Afraid of the Underdark
Frost Heave
I'm going to try and start putting version info and date on the last page of my PDFs to make things more clear when I do updates.
Thanks for chiming in y'all!
