Today marks the last day of January Idea Diarrhea (TM). Wait. I can do that better. January Idea-rrhea.
We’re wrapping up our game design experiments today, so early next week we can resume making things to sell, to make a living or whatever. First up on the agenda: Outwitters remix maps! We’ve got some new designs like Foundry II and Thorn Gulley II that we’re eager to balance for a release. Should have those ready sometime in February.

I was hoping for a new team, but knowing what you’re going to do at all made my day. 😀
Also, here’s a suggestion: Sell a “Passport” or something like that, which unlocks respective team’s maps as you buy each team pack. It could cost, maybe $2.99? I’d pay that. Of course, I’ll probably be buying the maps however you go about it. 😛
Woaaaaaaaah! New maps! Or atleast changes to freshen things up, this made my very stressful day 🙂
Yes!!! Maps are like a renewing the game! Two major thumbs up for this, esp 2v2 maps!!
Sweet! It’s always nice to play on something new!
how did you add a picture gurleyman?
will foundry II and thorn gulley II replace the current maps ?
@TheQwertiest No, they will not replace current maps
Will you have to buy said new maps?
As you probably know, I’m one of the the last ones to oppose new maps, but I have a question. Will these split the player base? Are they going to be free or a dlc pack? I’m all for buying maps (I bought all the bases even though I only ever play Scallywags and Feedback), but it also could be a problem if only some people can play on them. Or perhaps you’ll go the same route as the team packs where everyone can access the same maps in league but you can’t create games on the new maps for friendlies or pass and play? I’d rather not have only some people encounter certain maps in league though.
Love the idea! Although I just got down the foundry strategies…
@CombatEX, It’s quite unlikely that, should the maps be league playable, that they not be rolled out across the whole league system for free. If not, there may be imbalance between players with access to the map and those without, not to mention lengthening wait times for those maps.
Really want 2X more 2v2 maps. Maybe make 2v2 maps equivalent to the “one spawn” 1v1 maps. Instead of each player getting 2 spawn places they get 1!
@QuantumApocalypse, Precisely. That’s why I hope it’s not like that.
Wow, cool. One question – will any map from OMC be added to the game? It would be hellish good for me to see people playin’ on my maps. 😛
@CombatEX
They already sell map packs. (You get 3 maps with each army.) So it’s unlikely to be any different than that.
I assume how that works currently is that you can only start with maps that you own, but you can join any player’s game and compete on those maps. Hence there’s no playerbase splitting; some players merely have a limited map selection 1/2 the time.
[This is how I infer it works, I have access to all the maps, so I could be wrong!]
How about a handicap feature? If I play against a weaker opponent, maybe I get 1 or more fewer wits each turn to help even out game.
