The Multiplayer Board suggestions thread

Boards with spread-out victory squares.
Boards without victory squares.

Just getting the painfully obvious ones out there.

 

Tum te tum. To summarize:

If the Victory Squares are spread out, having fewer than four so as to allow more characters to do something other than stand still.

Using Victory Squares in different arrangements than a block.

Using Impassable tiles somewhere.

Edit: Aaaaaand of course all the good stuff gets posted while I'm distracted mid-writing.

 

An arena surrounded by lava with single island victory spots (3 or 4 single islands in the lava 1x3 land bridges to get to them) - battling it out in the middle and need 1 more vp to win but drew a hand of move and armor? Try grab an island instead then hope you don't get pushed off...

Edit: Now compliant until the existence of lava rivers.

 

Is this just for testing purposes or will these new boards never make it to the ranked matches?

 

Awesome.

 

I like Sluice the best. Feast also looks neat.

 

Hi ! I just took a quick look and Sluice pops out as a map that could be problematic.



Two things:
a) uh...well..I'm always looking at Wall Of Stone exploits. The figure above shows where a WoS casted on the red line would effectively cut off a party from the other. It can be casted on the other side as well to do the same. A suggestion is to break the dividing wall to allow an alternate path.
b) The rectangular difficult terrain favors party members on one side (blue dots) than the other due to shortest path. There is an excess of difficult terrains which won't see much use. A suggestion is to trim that stretch and introduce a limited LoS sniping/control spot instead.

That's all for the moment. Hope it helps.

 

I think you should add difficult terrian to this map where I suggested, in order to do a few things:

1. Prevent warriors with sprint from bum rushing enemy team.
2. Prevent mages from kiting all day around the pillars UNLESS they have some teleport or fly cards.
3. Add an element of risk when going for victory square.

 

I'd be more than happy if you wanted to use any of the maps I've designed in any way shape or form.

I like the new boards, you actually need to rethink your strategy in these. I'd say we wouldn't want just more of the same, so that's a good job!
ok at the moment I happen to hate Sluice but I like the challenge about it (I may either crack its secret eventually or get to despise it for good, don't know yet).

 

I'd love a much larger variety of boards. Throw in all the classic boards too, then maybe throw in a few new ones as well. Maybe even some of the single player Cardstock Preview boards if they are symmetric enough for Multiplayer.
The new crypt boards are nice and all, but they get old fast when they're the only boards available.

 

Crypt Feast: You need to guarantee that both players will start out with the same number of characters on the steps. Better yet, remove the steps entirely - wasting your first move on difficult terrain sucks.

 

I find the crypt boards to be too large with too much inconvenient difficult terrain. They seem to heavily favor fireball/firestorm teams, just because of the distance involved.

 

So true. It seems like this map is set up so one person starts with TWO characters on steps, while the other team has just one.
