- A long Map designed for Elves v Dwarves. Players 3 and 4 are intended to be in a fierce territory war.
Re: Tiny Maps
I assume balance isn't really one of your design goals?

Re: Tiny Maps
@ Caphriel - The big ones are for fun or campaigns, the small ones are meant to be balanced.

Re: Tiny Maps
Small maps are by nature unbalanced. Maps with dominant terrain types are by nature unbalanced.
The water one probably overpowers the factions with water units, and underpowers the drakes. The drakes suck over water, and in general none of these maps are big enough for them to run away.
The cave one has no forests and will be harder for the elves. Factions with effective flying units will have an advantage. Lots of mushroom groves will give the undead a slight edge.
Some factions do a lot better on snow than others do. Check the unit stats.
The base one is closest to alright, but still not great. Advantage to fliers.
I'd say except for the water map, the Knalgans will probably do pretty well on these. They're so small that dwarves will be able to get around, the gryphon can add an extra attacker to hexes against the central river, and there's always lots of terrain for them.
I'm not even going to discuss first turn advantage on these maps. Just count hexes and figure out how village stealing will go.

Re: Tiny Maps
How do you nerf flyers?
Re: Tiny Maps
Don't make important central terrain elements out of terrain most units can't go into. And if you want fish in a river, you have to have some way for them to get there from a castle.
Re: Tiny Maps
I got some small maps too..

- This map seems very unbalanced,but I've tried it sometimes and it is actually quite balanced :O
Re: Tiny Maps
Hi, interesting maps! I must say I kindda specialize on tiny maps, so if you like them, have a look on my add-on called Tiny Maps.
