1v1 map: Lake Enchantress [was Land of Legends]

[schedal]

Hello, here is a map for the game, 1v1. I made it with the development version map editor [1.3.13] so hopefully that is not an issue.

There are some problems with that editor, which i am sure you must know about. It would also be lovely if the map editor had a function to inverse-reflect instead of just rotate [so that i wouldn't have to manually create both sides of the map to be the same but let the editor do that for me]

I made this map because there are ample small maps in the release but still not that many medium/large maps for 1v1 games.

This map has 3 forts per side, center has a river crossing, quantity of villages a little higher than most maps with 9 villages per side for a slightly higher budget and upkeep ability.

Let me know if you like the map or if there are any changes required.
Hope some people like it!

with kind,

Sebastian

Looks nice from what I can see here, however making a map completely symmetrical if it is meant to be a competitive map is not advised. That's because of the P1-advantage - since P1 does his turn first, he might be able to automatically grab more villages than P2 and thus win. If you look at the mainline maps, you'll find that none (?) of them is completely symmetrical, except maybe if it is meant to be played 2vs2 (1&4 vs. 2&3). Other than that it looks nice though.

[schedal]

cool thanks,

haha that's so funny, i just had a huge, long debate how the game didn't give player 1 any advantage...


are you sure about the a-symmetry?

cause from what i see, almost all the standard 1v1 maps are symmetrical:

- caves of basi...
- den of onis
- fallenstar lake
- hamlets
- the freelands
- weldyn channel

what they do do, is ensure the villages are not too close to the half-way mark of the map.

right?

[Doc Paterson]

It's really not bad at all- Nice work. It kind of makes me think of Sulla's Ruins, but that's no crime.

You should be aware that Undead and Knalgans can steal 2,16 from a player 2 Loyalist (Northerners and Drakes can do it as well, though it's more dangerous). 3,16 should probably be ford (like its mirror on the P1 side). You should also consider the fact that offering only 3 initial recruiting hexes allows factions with more expensive units to exert a lot of pressure, early in the game, against factions that rely more on cheaper units. I'd therefore recommend increasing the starting recruit option to at least 5. The map could get a little bit stalemateish as well (between defensive players), but you can work those issues out as you go through the testing and revision process.

[Doc Paterson]

haha that's so funny, i just had a huge, long debate how the game didn't give player 1 any advantage...

It's not the fault of "the game" if a player makes a map that favors player one.

None of those maps that you named are symmetrical, but some of them are closer to full symetry than others (Fallenstar Lake, Hamlets, etc. are much closer to full symmetry than Caves of the Basilisk, The Freelands, etc.).

Clonkinator oversimplifies a bit. Symmetry does not, by default, give player one an advantage. Villages that are placed where player one can steal them, or exert an unfair ammount of pressure early game, do.

[TL]

haha that's so funny, i just had a huge, long debate how the game didn't give player 1 any advantage...

Noooooooooo, you had a huge, long debate about how the game did not give player 1 the specific and massive advantages you credited them with and wanted to penalize them for.

If you examine standard MP maps more closely, you will notice that most of them are not quite symmetrical. In particular, notice that P2 often has some of "their" villages bumped a hex or two closer to their keep--or, to put it another way, some of P1's villages often get closer to the center than P2's do. P1 does get subtle advantages, which are corrected for by subtle touches.

As for the actual map, it looks pretty decent. I particularly like the impassible-mountain chokepoints. I'm not a fan of keeps 12 hexes apart, though, since it gives such a big edge to 6 MP leaders. I would suggest moving one or both of the side keeps on each side inwards so that it's reachable in 8 hexes, so that 4 and 5 MP leaders have some options in shifting between keeps without taking forever to do so.

[schedal]

thanks about the comment regarding the village/ford and start keep size; i modified/removed those.

in principle i do want the center bridge front to still function, aleibit risky - so if any of you try the map it would be good to hear that the center bridge front is still a feasible front.

actually i'd like to expand the width of the map 5 more hexes [to provide breathing and maneuvering room, not to add more villages] - but the current editor goes completely crazy when i use the x-shift function to recenter...


does anyone know of a way i can by-pass this? the new map editor makes things look much more complicated in my text editor so adding a row of letters manually is a bit of a mind-puzzler...

if anyone knows how i can expand the map without breaking it [or if anyone could expand it and send it back to me with say 5 more hexes on each side] that would be most appreciated.

once i can add more width to the map hopefully i'll also address the issue of stagnation...(?) cause i want to have flanking [for scouts] also be a part of this map by the time its done.

here is my current version:

[schedal]

cool, i'll work the shifting of keeps to make one or both accessible to move 4/5 leaders in a latter revision, hopefully after i resolve the issue of not being able to expand the width!

[Doc Paterson]

It looks like you took the Player 2 water-village out entirely. Is that intentional? You know, you could solve that whole issue by just making both water-villages into swamp-villages. Player 2 would then be able to reach it in 2 moves of a scout.

[Clonkinator]

Clonkinator oversimplifies a bit. Symmetry does not, by default, give player one an advantage. Villages that are placed where player one can steal them, or exert an unfair ammount of pressure early game, do.

Ahhh, sorry. That is what I meant, actually.

EDIT: However, in perfectly symmetrical maps this tends to happen more easily.

[schedal]

ok i found out how to manually bypass the problem of the x centering...

[schedal]

ok, i thought i figured it out, but when i add:

Gg , Gg , Gg ,

to the start of each row, it ofsets every other row...
so i tried only adding 2 Gg to the even rows, 1 Gg to the odd rows... but i get "invalid map data" then...


can anyone help out?
thanks

[schedal]

ok, i found the issue... if you expand in any odd numbers, it breaks the map by shifting it, but if you expand or x shift by even numbers only, its works fine! doh, simple... but somehow i missed that last night.

so now that i could x shift and expand, i've taken your comments into consideration and modified the map, re-added the water-town and shifted things here and there a hex or two for P2 to have some subtle advantages.

your comments are welcome,

[schedal]

after some initial play testing i found that if player 1 picked a race with cavalry that they could form 3+ of them into a mob and get quite an early advantage. to counter this i've altered many spaces on the map and reduced fords on P2's side of the board. i also grouped p2's villages all on their side of the river while exposing many of P1's villages as well as placing them further apart. also changed the central lake to be fully deep [fits theme better] and made the bridge section shorter so that its actually possible to attempt an attack across it with infantry. also did some other minor tweaks here and there.

until now the dynamic I've found on this map is interesting, it's such a wide spread front that knowing which side your enemy is coming from is paramount [as is then outguessing him] - I find feints are good tactics here, as is concentration of forces and using surprise. Still not sure if its balanced for all races though, still need player feedback.

[schedal]

so far I've found no issues with rebels, northerners or loyalists. undead also seem to do well and their skelies have a big huge pool to submerge in! , knag-alliance works fine as P2 and I need to test them now if they are on P1 side. Drakes still not tested properly.

I've tried the game out also against 3 people in the last few days, but its tough finding people who are experienced enough to do good play testing...


so if anyone would like to schedule a game against me, or if you could post your results [along with comments about game/map] that would be fab! please prv message me [assuming the forum allows that], i live in GMT+1, evenings work best.

have a nice weekend!

oh and here is the latest map after further refinement and feedback:
