9-Hexes
The first 23by22 map consisting of 9 hexes! Duke it out with your opponent in this new 1v1. test your foresight of where your opponent will go and decide whether you will fight by ambush or an all out charge!

I think I'll fight by using my huge player-1 advantage to lock down villages and economically drain my opponent to death.

As you insist.

[DraconicBlessing]

As Doc is the person responsible for multiplayer map balancing (iirc), you should probably take that as constructive critiscism of your map.

It's actually only me, though I do have a minion or two in my employ. I do all of the 1v1s and have created or made adjustments to all of the others, except, for the most part, those that originated in Bec's lab (Loris River, Paths of Daggers, etc. etc.).


And yes, the player one advantage on this map is just obscene. I do like the spirit/general look of the map though. Just remember that player one is a full turn of moves ahead, and will lock down any keep (particularly the center) or village that you may think is contestable.

There are too few villages.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I actually did change it after your first post, giving player 1 less villages by removing one of them. I also just recently moved the center village closer to player 2.

On a side-note, I'm not sure it's such a big deal that he can seize the center keep fast, as every time I've tested the map, the center keep has acted as a leader death trap for whoever seized it, it's probably the most difficult part of the map to defend. I may be wrong, or just testing with the wrong people, but this is what I have seen.

Quite intentional.

Same to you, though it's a bit late.

Well yeah, I'm guessing there's some lacking in your testing here, because there's no real reason that the center should be a "deathtrap" (particularly if you have double their villages and have 3 recruit hexes.).

You have low income. Even with double their villages. And you (hopefully) no longer have double their villages.

Could you suggest a way I might change it without taking out that center keep entirely?
