[grand moss]

might vary up the building heights some more

Sometimes you just gotta have a big-ol cathedral battle

[golden olive]

hmm

what's a good element of soft cover in a natural cave system?

[rotund comet]

pools of water

or maybe spooky mist like in alien

alternatively just fields of loose rubble/small boulders/stalagmites

[golden olive]

there are pools of water that provide soft cover

it is also a funny surprise if any characters go into it and fails an agility check (something grabs them)

only once per scene tho, so if they got got once, they won't be again

[late frost]

Mushrooms that emit a cloud of bioluminescent spores.

[narrow flicker]

Could think about some of these
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17P2C06nm8ZnkeqfSH503JGDc_Bwd6HB6PjmiWl9f1Kw/edit#heading=h.w6or48y88kgk

but I'll second bioluminescence, maybe it's a moss that interferes with the sensors of those looking at it and characters near it

or stalagmites that obscure vision

[late frost]

Battletech did radioactive patches of terrain that did pretty much what you just said.

[devout aurora]

You could do like a huge mass of moss or somethin?

[late frost]

Disgusting slimy gelatinous ooze coming from the ceiling.

[golden olive]

barnacles releasing clouds of larvas...

yeah

fits with the map i picked up online as well

[devout aurora]

I mean, if you going with that. It can be written off as "Alien life on an Alien Planet is pretty fucking Alien."

[golden olive]

ye, wallflower underground/aquatic life

for the cyst hunt map

[devout aurora]

Bruh if it is Aquatic Life, then that makes perfect sense. Cause Aquatic Life can be very fucking alien in general

[golden olive]

the idea is that the area of the discovered egregorian cysts is flooded after all that time, and giant barnacles grow there

[rotund comet]

could also be underground/aquatic vegetation

[golden olive]

and in the water is some sort of creachure

[golden olive]

it's mostly land

the water is soft cover but, if you enter it, gotta make an agi check just in case

[inner portal]

@golden olive yeah this something I did in the underground maps. Mushrooms that had 5 HP 5ev and when destroyed they released a cloud of soft cover and those in the blast when it happen took jammed condition. They also would suffer d6 damage is a mech trampled over them during a move, so it was somewhat of a risk to just rush past them.

[golden olive]

my idea is barnacles that is essentially both dangerous terrain and soft cover as the larva the puff out is soft cover, but it starts biting into your mech for

the 1d6 damahe thing is not a bad idea. perhaps burn, to convey the larvas sticking to the mech and causing damage

[inner portal]

Ah, mine was damage to the mushrooms. So running over them might trigger the jamming spores.

[late frost]

Now I’m picturing a bunch of mechs blindly flailing around a glowing cave running into walls and punching each other.

[raven plaza]

LOVED THIS MAP

was great for holdout!

[golden olive]

thanks!

that large area is empty mainly so that in a nexus defense sitrep, you can put up some fortifications in the area as enemies assault it

but great to see it work for a simple holdout too!

[celest bramble]

Reposting here. I put together a 35x25 hex map for @ivory rock's "The Harrowing" sitrep for Cathedral of the Deadstar.

Here's a pile of maps i've used and made. Most were made using Interpoint's Map Generator and Map Maker, with a few that were made using Tiled and Dungeondraft. The Dungeondraft one is just a dd2vtt file, you can upload it on Foundry using the Universal Battlemap Importer.

The google doc also contains a notepad file with instructions to get them to fit on Foundry, as Interpoint's maps don't fit easily without adjustment. The notepad file contains what I used to have them match the grid, sometimes not perfectly. All maps with 'IP Genned' in the name have one set of instructions, all maps with 'Tiled' in the name have another, and the remaining maps made using the Interpoint Map Maker have one for each individually due to a quirk of what happens when the map isn't the default size.

If you're using something else besides Foundry and need help getting them to fit... good luck, I guess? I can't help lmao

[late frost]

Hey, these look great! If you’d like, you can add them to the community map resource spreadsheet through the form in the second link on this post!

Nightime snowy train map - 45x30. I'm running kind of a reverse recon type deal but holdout would work too. Added it to my Stolen Crown drive folder

Made this unnecessarily awkward by having the train diagonal - however, counterpoint, it looks nice

[gritty marlin]

Diagonal is good, more organic

[rotund comet]

mmm - horizontal just felt very static

[lunar kestrel]

Map for combat 3 of Shadow of the Wolf, following Eld's map blocking. This and combat 4 were a bit tricky for me, and were the first time I strongly considered actually highlighting cover and terrain, because I typically rely on color-coding the objects themselves instead. It still ran fine without highlighting, but it could go either way.

Foundry settings:
grid size - 100
width - 2540
height - 2310
offset H - 0
offset V - 28

||Rocks, boulders, and logs are size 1 cover. Green crystals are size 2. Water is difficult terrain. Dangerous terrain is marked with red. The tops of the plateaus are height 3, while the smaller ledges with vines are height 1.||

And the map for combat 4 of Shadow of the Wolf, following Eld's blocking.

Foundry settings:
grid size - 100
width - 2540
height - 2310
offset H - 0
offset V - 28

||Same as combat 3 for the terrain and cover details.||

[gritty marlin]

Hell yeah!

[inner portal]

Made a uh.. I dunno industrial kinda thing in a desert area? The rails at the top use the "elevator" token (More like a shifting platform, left to right), and the overhead layer fits over the rest for roofs // cat walks.

Also the trucks ended up being a bit smaller than I anticipated, so it's a bit awkward of a map lol.

[inner portal]

And a half-burried secret base in a toxic swamp.

[heady drum]

Bit of a weird one I know but, Here is a looping ocean texture.
(The edges blend)

I wanted to make a moving ocean texture for the background in foundry,

My players are going to fight on a ship. But, I couldnt' find a good background, so I made one.

This is what it looks like in foundry as a animated tile

Now if you want to fight on a ship! You can. Just provide the ship lol

[heady drum]

Here's a boat battlemap!
You've got hexes there for us. So it's user friendly.

I wanted to do an accurate cargo hauler that could also be used as a hex battle map

However-

Those ships are just packed with rows and rows of squares. So. It ain hex friendly! This ship, whilst it looks less realistic. Is certainly HEXable.

[heady drum]

Part 2

(Gridless)

The dominion of irons throne room. The planet respects this seat of power, ancient and shawled in tradition, these halls echos the voices of long lost legends.

Can be used as a battlemap if you want your mechs to feel big!

Designed for the enchanched combat "INFILTRATE" sitrep

Here's a version with the grid

[thorny rock]

Woe, Train Convoy Heist map be upon ye'

[gritty marlin]

Hell yeah!

Love some twisty maps, they add density to the map but allow it to actually be smaller as the crow flies, as a result

[late frost]

Reminds me a lot my valley guard post map.

[thorny rock]

Oooh thats sweet - Dungeondraft? :>

[thorny rock]

Hell yeah! I'll admit that this map accidentally ended up gridded at something like 35 tall 53 wide so with the twists, it's friggin ginormous - train had to be set for 7 rounds otherwise it'd have been moving 14 spaces a turn 👀

[heady drum]

These are dope you two 😄

[late frost]

Oh gosh I love seeing everyone’s growth, this is a great idea!

This might have been my first, I think. It was a simulation of a ‘historical battle’ within the lore of my campaign.

These two are most recent.
Three Crossings is your ubiquitous river crossing map, but specifically for mechs.

(Tree tops on a separate layer)

This one I made at nearly the same time, but it’s the landing strip level of a mountain top Space Defense base.
Named it after an observation post I frequented during my tour in Afghanistan, OP Mustang.

[devout aurora]

Everyone here got some cool ass maps.

Bratty : creates a map
Me : "I need you to place a crater token right here pls."

I think I've never not used Siege Spec 1 on any map Bratty has done.

[kindred timber]

Such clear distinction between cover and terrain

Magnificent

[devout aurora]

Honestly, I might borrow Bratty's style of terrain marking. It's rather easy on the eyes and does a fantastic job being distinct from each other.

[late frost]

For sure is.

Here’s the three crossings map in Foundry to better show the final result and terrain/cover types.

Same with the mountain top base, but I was aiming for more intuitive cover calculations based on the map being hex-perfect and indoors.
Also, a runway has gotta have lights.

[quaint flame]

Beauty 🤌

[lyric burrow]

I never shared this but a factory map made with inkarnate:

[heady drum]

😄 Damn, everyones progress is very inspiring!

Here's the map I made today

It's a sewer battlemap.

Might have to hit open original because the details are quite small.

but it's an escort mission. Lots of alternative routes

(With hexes)

[gritty marlin]

Hell yeah! Indoor battle maps are under-serviced

[heady drum]

😄 Ikr! haha.

Lots of difficult terrain / cover and potential.

My plan is to have the overhangs block the side passages. So that if the players during the escort, wish to go the shorter way, they will have to destroy them to get through.

[late frost]

Ah, I love it! Detailed, great sight lines. And sewers was on the list of maps I need for my campaign. $•$

[devout aurora]

Good indoor battle maps for MECHS are rather difficult to find that aren't just the inside of a garage or research facility.

This is really goob!

[heady drum]

\o\ Wish granted!

[heady drum]

Really not alot of indoor mech maps. I can see why. Tbh. Not alot of places mechs can fit indoors...Maybe I can make more indoor maps.

[narrow flicker]

I feel like it's cool when there's some indoors and some outdoors areas, like on titanfall maps

But underground, in a space station/colony, or when fighting through military bases I feel like you can get a lot of ideas for indoors action

[heady drum]

🙂 I suppose it's better to be busy though

[late frost]

Oooh, here’s my favorite in/out map. Original design was by Reconus, but I redid the map in DD and added the interiors.

[kindred timber]

Not just that, it's everything about that map. Since I definitely remember some SC2 maps looking like that.

[amber barn]

Where do you recommend placing zones on this map?

[kindred timber]

Making shit up

Making stuff up

[inner portal]

The zones.. on the map I posted or?

I let the players deploy anywhere up to the red entrance warning marker, the elevator was OpFor Ingress, and the gold mark was the scientist.

The bottom path has more obstructions, and you can't see it because I don't like adding Fog to Map layers, but the blue areas were mist coming from vents, so they had soft cover from that direction as well.

The top was more open (I had two players running Sargamartha) and direct. I counted the crates as difficult terrain rather than bothering with any "half size" cover.

My players rolled extremely well and were walking out with the scientist by turn 8~ish, but it worked out fairly well.

[amber barn]

Thank you!!!

[raven plaza]

not for Lancer but we love our battlemaps

imma lil rusty tbh

[distant hawk]

This is a completely normal lab

Trees? what trees. I don't see any of those

[timid mist]

Hey everyone, I just finished my second-ever map and I was hoping to get some feedback from the cool people here

Here's the grid version (for Dungeondraft reference, switching to Foundry's grid):

And the annotations:

Map is 40 wide and 34 tall, meant for 5 players (if they all show up ). They're assaulting a heavily-fortified castle to shut down a shield generator console after their allies failed earlier. I'm intending to make it very difficult to do in one single fight (to teach them the value of resources and retreating), so capturing the bridge first is meant to be a "checkpoint" for their progress. The whole thing is loosely-based off of the map Zanzibar from Halo 2

Sorry if this is spammy haha! Just getting a feel for map-making with my zero art skills lol

[devout aurora]

Eeeey... That's pretty goooood.

[amber barn]

Yeah this is fire fr fr

[late frost]

If they go under the bridge do they get lifted up by a slowly rotating windmill? 😄

This looks fun, I like the concept and it looks great.

You might trace out some possible paths to see how many spaces your players will actually have to move to get an idea of how many rounds it will take, and how many actions your players will have to spend moving.
Then adjust the starting zone locations or provide shortcuts/setbacks until you get to what you want.

[narrow flicker]

Rip to the guy who drove out of the water, left their truck and turned into a blood splatter

[devout aurora]

That's some Fallout/Elder Scrolls type story telling like a skeleton sitting on a toilet with all kinds of drugs on it.

[inner portal]

Looks good to me. Things you might want to consider; Players (maybe not yours) can fly at times, so the wall might be less of an obstacle. It's fun for players to circumvent difficulty though, so don't discourage it, just consider what that means for how the OpFor is meeting the players (If there are Rain Makers hiding in the back, and you expect people to force their way past all the melee, that's a bad surprise lol)
The other thing I noticed is the path up is wider than 1-hex, but it's 1 hex centered with two halfs on either side; That might make token placement awkward, but also I like "tight passages" to count as difficult terrain for larger mechs, they need to be more careful or take time to get through a tight space, or up a stair without getting too close to the edge.
The last immediate thing I'll mention is that while you've denoted a "breakable door", it stands to reason that almost anything could be broken. And with the objective having a wall near it, I would reward players who try to break through instead of going to the door itself, by having a plan like, "Ok, you can break down this wall, but the castle is durable and thick, so a 2-hex segment of your choice can be focused open with 40 HP // XX HP" (Evaluate the PCs options, if they have something like a Kobald they can literally destroy almost any terrain, Sherman's Core can do a number on things as well.

But the map looks great, as a general statement.

[finite crane]

little map

[inner portal]

Oh, I really like that outline, is that in foundry or, an art layer you added? It looks nice.

[finite crane]

art!

[timid mist]

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I'll definitely trace my player's movement and see where they can get so that I can plan for a certain turn amount. One of my players can teleport a whopping 24 tiles in a single turn if they overcharge, which is... certainly something. But they're really squishy, so I want to give them incentive to go to smart positions, not rush the goal. And you're completely right about breakable terrain Tawg; my players have not ever shot at anything that isn't an enemy yet, so the wooden doors are gonna be a pathetic, like, 3 HP (and the bridge maybe 10) just to reward them for thinking about the environment.

But since you mention it, I'll definitely rethink the path up, looking at it again. I'm fine with the tiles for now since they have all that grass to maneuver on as well, but two of my players have size 2 mechs, and your advice helps me realize that they're a little, uh, tempting of a target past the bridge haha

I appreciate all the kind words! I'm a terrible artist but I love giant robots, so my motivation to improve continues strong

I think playing with the "FoW" rules in Lancer is as valid as any other aspect, as long as it's not arbitrary.

Here's the finished map. You start bottom left and work your way through the factory.
Defeating the mechs in each room will open the next.

Room 1 has conveyer belts which move objects (And mechs) on them left or right.
Room 2 has pleanty of dangerous liquids to ram or be rammed into. Featuring overhanging pipes and sparse hard cover.
Room 3 features a large lake of dangerous liquids. Jump pads for mechs to launch themselves across the map with.

hey, if I wanna run this for an escort sitrep, how would I set it up? map seems very long and I'm worried about moving the escort target far enough

esp with the bottom path

[heady drum]

😄 Sure thing - This is what my setup ended up looking like.
I gave them 10 turns.

And they managed to get it in on the 9th, despite being still for a couple turns.
I had the enemy deployment central (deleted)

I even had these Overhang bridges have 10HP on each side, and you had to shoot them down to get past

[dusk flint]

how do overhang rules work your end?

I looked at this map and went "oh this fucks... how do I handle this map actually"

[heady drum]

Overhang terrain is just terrain that starts in the air 🙂

So, overhang H2 is just heavy cover you can walk under.

[dusk flint]

huh

[heady drum]

If you join a VC I could talk you through some of this if it helps? 😄

[dusk flint]

so an enemy could still shoot your legs without cover ic ic

I agree, y'all are on fire!

I'm glad this last map was my final indoors map.
Doing an indoor scale map every week is hard! Cause you need so many more details to make i convincing.

I can't wait to get back to spending 10hours of river water ripples 😂

[raven plaza]

yeah imma try to make some flexible Lancer x Mechanized Body maps

[forest compass]

a little more cobbled than I normally like - I threw together 3 very similar maps for an upcoming Eidolon fight. Ideally you can switch between them on a VTT and most of the cover will be in the same spots. It's intended to be a little light on cover on the map because I'm using wrecked mechs for narrative reasons - I would recommend adding additional cover if you use it.

[late frost]

I love this concept.
Why does it remind me of Chrono Trigger of all things?

[raven plaza]

I'm looking for ressources to build my own battlemaps, what do you guys use ? For fantasy, I use dungeondraft + forgotten adventures pack, but for sci-fi I'm not sure what to use (soft or asset-wise)

[late frost]

Here’s a bunch of sci fi assets for Dungeondraft

https://lancer-valkyrion.notion.site/Dungeondraft-Packs-Library-79163fb32d744b38a6532c6acb038633

DD is my preference. The other big one right now is Inkarnate, which either just released or is soon to release their big sci-fi pack.

If you’re going isometric though, you want Starlight Furnace assets.

you now have 5 different mars-like maps that could represent different areas in like, a location crawl or something

it's great

This map was assembled in record time, Its not perfect but it served its purpose

an extraction with some difficult terrain to start

[worn bobcat]

first battlemap for my campaign starting this thursday. My first time making a hex map, let alone a lancer map, so this is gonna be my balance test, essentially

[kindred plume]

As someone who is also starting can i ask how you are approaching cover and the like, are you building with it in mind or just building what makes sense?

Looking good by the by

[worn bobcat]

The way i go about it is coming up with a concept. What's my setting gonna be? Then I mess around in Inkarnate and see what I come up with in terms of general shapes and ideas. Then, once I have a basic area, I build the NPCs around the place they'll be fought. So, for example, the far right is open as it is intended to be a gauntlet of grunts with a veteran at the end. The bottom left is a dockyard guarded by a small squad, and the top left has high ground for a sniper that they need to deal with, but they're constantly interfered with by the ground units. Then the centre is the boss battle, so it's relatively small and open to allow for the two squads to fight. After I have my NPCs, I fill the map with detail for cover and what would make sense balance-wise

I'm very aware that this isn't how Lancer sitreps typically work, before anyone says something, but my party is coming from dnd so this is to ease them into the game system

[kindred plume]

Similar mind set to me then

lol I have definitely been flattening layers in Inkarnate to allow me to apply textures above and so on. It's certainly not ideal.

[half python]

Lol! Well, happy you've got a solid grasp on this. Hope the tool works for you, I really like it.

[lilac eagle]

Terrain Height Tools will also help manage cover in Foundry. The workflow is a lot shorter/smoother, it has more options in terms of visibility (also per user options), and good QOL built in for determining LOS/cover.

[verbal needle]

roger that, will test out both and give them a try

[lilac eagle]

I actually like to use both at the same time; PMO for areas I want to be visible all the time, like deployment zones and control points, and THT for areas I don't want to be permanently visible, like cover and difficult terrain. Also I feel THT is necessary for the LOS/cover calculation QOL.

I don't love the look of having indicators on permanently, the maps are too busy for my personal taste. Using both gives me the flexibility I want.

I just noticed, I'm guilty of it too and it ain't much of a problem but the staircase there on one of the buildings is bigger then the door... I've done it too, but I've just come to realise that I've been making mech scale staircases and that's silly and I love it

[inner portal]

To be fair, mech sized stairs aren't impossible!

But probably grossly unlikely in modern building structure, I would imagine. They seem more likely in city-scale grading of terrain (If a city is on a hill, stepping it to facilitate movement across the city more easily), like you see in old-world (re: european cities like Rome).

So those more likely would be the type of "grand stair cases" outside like.. wall street, or a courthouse you often see.

Things intentionally put there to increase the "Grandure" of a structure or it's significance.

[quaint flame]

Valid, I mean, yeah those staircases would probably be a roughly mech scale

I'm just imagining comically large staircases since it's ascending like, atleast 10ft in 5 steps lmao

(When I'm able to access them that is x.x)

[gritty marlin]

As long as you’ve got permission to distribute the maps depending on the assets used, go for it

Some asset creators put limits on how their stuff using their assets can be shared

[slender cargo]

I getcha, iirc it was all just base assets from dungeon draft

[gritty marlin]

Then you should be good!

Only gets hairy when you start using asset packs

[slender cargo]

💚 sadly I don't have access on mobile (because I never thought to put them on my drive.) So itll.have to be when I get home from work x.x

[pastel delta]

I would like to actively encourage this as I am starting Stolen crown in two weeks

[kindred timber]

Try adding some trees and smoke, and consider what npcs would favor certain terrains

An Archer with a vantage point is peak

Helps if the vantage point also has cover

[slender cargo]

I getcha. The problem is that in the book there is only a vague idea on what environments the encounters take place in, so I went with my best judgement

I just need to be better with making sure the maps aren't too big x.x

Cave battle 256px hex-column

[quaint flame]

In golden flame mission 5 spoilers

Want help with map design. So it's a gauntlet, but I'm also making it so it's compatible with L:EC BReach and clear

The book states:

There are several ships docked in the hangar bay: large
pieces of Size 3 cover much longer than they are wide.
Between them are the gangways used for loading or
unloading, and PCs can use their mechs’ standard-
issue mag clamps to walk on them. This presents
several narrow lanes of approach to hangar control,
and it is these that the team must fight through.

So I've made this

WIP ofc...

But it doesn't totally match the "several lanes" aspect

And filling up the other docking bays make it feel too busy... I guess I can fill in the middle two with other ships, and edit them to look much less copy and pasted OFC

But it feels too busy and I want opinions...

[slender cargo]

I had a feeling x.x I can fix this!

Though what's OwlBearRodeo?

[dull sedge]

over 67 megapixels
That means the image is more than ~8200 x 8200 pixels in size. Graphics engines have an upper limit to how large of an image can be used for textures etc..., so OBR probably set a limit on the uploads to steer clear of that.

has anyone ever tried to make a battlemap of a capital ship in Lancer?

Wouldn't that be about the size of a city?

[kindred timber]

That's why it'd be perfect to have some battlespaces for it

Although it's probably would be better to search up ship sectors instead of the entire ship itself

[shadow sail]

I imagine a hangar bay has been done before, but not the hangar bay of an entire ship like a GMS Amazon?

[late frost]

I made a Corvette for my players awhile back, here’s the central and upper deck.

I love doors! I love anything I can put on maps that rewards Mechs with manipulators 😂

"you can dismount your mech to open the door, it has human controls, or you can have manipulators to do so from the comfort of inside your mech (while you're being shot at)"

[raven plaza]

Yeah, I'm thinking about having a clock that goes with the doors and relates to how long they stay closed or stay open. If they keep it closed, the thingy they are there to get gets damaged every round. When they open it, baddies deploy and attack them.

[cold oar]

made this map as an opening to a campaign of mine but feel free to use however you please , but for small amount of context the thing in the center is paracausal in nature and is used as a power source but even though its contained it drained the color from the surrounding area

[kindred timber]

This will be very good, I wonder if we can ask a mod to help pin this or something. I guess mentioning HA Corvette Job is good enough if people want to search for a good HA Corvette Job map. You should post this to #gm-corner too i think

[shadow sail]

can we post WIP here? I have a thing I want to make in inkarnate, but I dont know how to make it better. All the other forums help with fantasy maps

can I post something here for suggestions?

[gritty marlin]

Post away, no permission required

[shadow sail]

https://cdn2.inkarnate.com/BHyJUpGmodqrbiev66NgcH?disposition=attachment

so this is for a holdout mission

it is at an airfield

the enemies will spawn at the top and the objective is that square of containers at the bottom near the burning wreck.

The catch is that every time the enemy catches a secondary objective (these being the top left bunker with turret drones and the middle right sandbags where I am placing an AAA battery) the enemy deployment will move forwards up to that position

how do I make this map cooler? How do I make the runway blend in more? what does this map need to really PoP!

[gritty marlin]

My quick take is “some parked aircraft”

It would help break up the flat spaces both visually and with cover

[shadow sail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1326677999768174642/1327411016547569694/Holdout3.jpg?ex=6782f758&is=6781a5d8&hm=018512bea2a5a63d37be0a8b3e5889ea7e55bdb9f3d6dd187fc9e2f8e5332edd&

any more edits I can do? I am not too happy with the very top of the image, which is supposed to be rubble/trench/ditch and with the rest of the image, it just seems a bit too clean and uniform

[slim schooner]

You could place a few smaller rocks/rubble/clutter (maybe even a few shrubs or puddles, depending on the weather/ground) with low opacity (or as an overlay, depends on your pref.) into the trench, to create a bit more texture/make it less “clean” in there but not have it “pop” out too much ^^
I like doing so in general to add “more” to the ground/just add some small visual details

[inner portal]

It looks good, but if what you stated is a concern, I reccomend angling the 4 shipping containers slightly. Unless they are stacked up in a storage space meant to keep them straight, they very well might be slightly off position.

I also tend to blend or overlay the "background" textures so they aren't so stark, like your runway and the brown dirt? I tend to pick 2-4 different textures, and place them spot-i-ly around to add visual break ups on large areas of ground.

Alternatively for the runway, if you use the path tool with the Pen option, there are some stamps like "curbs" that make a road way or asphalt path look slightly raised, just a little more "done up".

(I am assuming you're using inkarnate, from the looks of it. if not my advice might make less sense when I reference tools).

Also those little planes are dope af, those are great!

[shadow sail]

i wanna keep the containers in a rectangle because that represents the area of the holdout objective

[late frost]

Just a general guideline regarding hex maps, there’s a tendency to build maps and drop cover “in squares”
When laying out a hex map, consider twisting your perspective by about 60 degrees.

Here’s kind of an example, just some minimal rotations to align with the grid, shift the group of two half a space one way or the other.
Even without that, very playable and thought out, and pretty!

[quaint flame]

Are you saying when making hex maps people tend to make the map then add the grid later?

[shadow sail]

No, I mean that the game I'm making this for, lancer, is very particular about how big the objective zone is, so I'm making a rectangle of hexes cause that's what this mission type, the holdout sitrep, requires that size.

I could go square grid, but me and the others prefer hexes

Oh ok I forgot which server I was in...of course yall know how lancer works, this sounded pretentious here 😅 I'm sorry

[quaint flame]

My brain also did not read a whole conversation and just read one message so my question didn't understand the whole context 🙃

[inner portal]

To be fair, map sizes and obj sizes & placement are just as much a part of the map design as the graphics. But also, that is to say, we as GMs are fully in control of that. The illustrations in the Lancer book are after all just.. like, 3 squares laid out in MSPaint, they're not hard and fast rules.

[shadow sail]

Right, those 2 containers stacked side by side are like a size 3 object in area

[late frost]

Just a tendency toward familiarity. Most cities we build tend to be in grids of some kind, so we make maps with square stuff at right angles, but building at 30 and 60 degree angles works great for hex native maps and looks all futuristic.

Hey does anybody know how to make those obj markers and all the cover stuff? Like what tool am i suppose to look for these things?

[amber jay]

I think anyone that bakes in Lancer specific over and zones uses Photoshop.

Or an equivalent free tool like GIMP or Photopea.

If you're using Foundry as a VTT the Terrain Height Tool can replicate the look.
https://foundryvtt.com/packages/terrain-height-tools

[kindred timber]

so using the pen tool? man no wonder its so much work

[gritty marlin]

Pretty sure Al is using something other than THT, those overlays are baked in and not from Foundry

Through THT can achieve something similar if the map lacks it

[quaint flame]

In inkarnate I'm using the shape tools to manually draw them

I want to find another method. THT Is what I use in foundry but I want something baked into the pics so others can use them with the correct locations

Manually drawing them is a pain

[distant hawk]

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlemaps/s/2z7xLp9r4q

[gritty marlin]

Ooo I think I remember this one? It’s a fun “weird scifi” map

[loud shadow]

I'll admit I'm starting to try and look and figure how siege siege identified cover in Shadow of the Wolf as I'm musing how to better identify cover in maps using baked-in methods

[quaint flame]

I should message Siege to ask how the cover lines were done... I have been planning on doing it lol

[loud shadow]

Because I feel there's some primo stuff, granted a lot of it seem to be just how the terrain naturally follow the terrain as well.

But yeah the cover lines etc is really cool subtle but directly identifiable stuff

[quaint flame]

I just wanna know if there's any software which allows as easily drawing it as THT, but make it as visually good as the dustgrave or sirens song maps

(I don't have SOTW so IDK what those maps are like)

[loud shadow]

I need to check again to confirm but

Some of the cover lines are much more subtle than even SOTW and are more about the terrain itself espousing the shape of the grid?

Some are outright identified by rectangles(but the "nooks" of the terrain can still be seen so it's more about IDing the terrain as a zone of cover)?

[lunar kestrel]

One of the reasons I actually really prefer a clean map that I can then just use THT on is because THT is able to be toggled on and off. That was players can just toggle the overlay on to see what they need, they toggle it back off and it doesn't get in the way of seeing the map detail.

But, Siege did a very, very good job at being subtle enough it doesn't bother me.

[heady drum]

The grunt mech wreaks piled up and made the cover as they pushed forward.

Almost making trenches as they gained ground.

Having NPC's cower between rows of mech wreaks was really awesome.

(So that's the reason the map was left a little barren. I wanted to give myself a bunch of space to do the above)

Always fun to make your own cover, either in combat or as a GM with different tokens

I need some help real quick

So I'm overhauling how I do GUI for maps because it tends to be VERY time consuming

Is the size 2 terrain clear?

With the blue overlay? Yeah I think so

[quaint flame]

Ok good...

Blue is, beingg a pain to blend

I want opinions...
