Underworld, my 9th map.

Post by F8 Binds... »

I pretty much got bored last night, and therefore decided to create one of the most confusing maps there is. Your eyes may hurt looking at it. Anyways, this is a pretty crazy map, if I haven't gotten that out yet. It's the medium sized 2v2 some people are wanting in my pack, and this one isn't in there yet. And yes, I decided that I'll break the 8 map limit :).

I want comments from anyone who can stand looking at it. (1221, basic settings, meant to feature some deep water, a little swamp, and cave, though how much of these is absolutely random!) Also, this is my first abstract map.

Feast your eyes upon it.....

You seem to have gotten down the village spacing now, which is good. This map doesnt look real bad, seems fine to me. Looks pretty fun to play, another solid map. :lol:

The request for some more terrain has been granted. If you see any spots that need touching up, let me know.

All players with any race can now reach all 4 villages by turn two, assuming the leader takes one. If no more comments are made, this is the final version.

Good job changing that up, for smaller maps, IMO thats one of the key points to keeping things even, so player 1 cant take advantage of anything and personally, I dont think it looks bad at all. Im also a fan of water castle specifically in areas with water, allowing for more fair combat in the area for all troops involved. Its a pretty good map. Though the center area looks a little bare in terms of terrain as well. Thats all.

I was playing this map last night before being interupted but I can testify that it was extreamly fun while it lasted. This is one I think ought to be consitered for being added into the mainstream colection.

This map reminds me of the time I fell into that crate of nails and everyone was laughing too hard to call an ambulance. It's that crazy, and almost as fictional.

Well, you don't see many forests underground realistically, but without them the elves wouldn't last long.
