Outwitters Map Creator 1.2

[Ser Purple Wolf]

Well, if you place a BS 4 hexes above the medic it can cover both enemy wits. One more and can cover both wits and splash base, but then it's in soldier range of the spawn.

Breaking point is 10 by 13?

I didn't realize maps could be defined by hexes like that. Ill have to put that into consideration next time.

Nice, but there is a problem for the wit space on the edge of the map. If P1 moves his heavy toward it, it will be able at tun 3 to kill the unit which took the wit space, in ANY case.

You're right, but it's very unlikely that it'll perform even one shot - it's a pretty vulnerable place. If player will buff it and protect by soldiers, enemy could take it down for 5 wits (two soldiers take down one soldier, sniper hits BS and a runner finish it off. If player have got only 1 soldier in range, the whole action cost 2 wits more (spawn of soldier) - 7 wits total. So it's possible to perform by using just new turn wits.

If P1 'll move heavy forward, P2 will notice it. It give him enough time to perform an action to prevent it, like spawning sniper.

Stated that way, ya, I see what you mean.
I modified it this way to, hopefully, make it a bit more realistic. What do you think?

P1 could spawn a runner with the spawn space close to the middle and kill P2's runner and that makes P2 start with one less unit than P1

Its because if a spawn space is too far from the enemy base, games would take too long because half the game would be getting your units across the map. If its too close, FTA would be too strong.

Oops, I didn't mean to imply that Breaking Point didn't fit those dimensions. I was just curious if anyone else was thinking about it.

wow, that would be really cool! I think it also could be a real multiplier for the player (and revenue) base....

Anyone think the same way as I do?


Btw, I made a new map:

Rather for quick games. Placing holes isn't equeal to give benefits from turtling.

I like that one.
