This Hobbit themed map brought to you by request of Helper. The creeper bugs in the pipe smoke are very weak and produce AC! Easy fun map for your Tuesday afternoon. #NoCRPL

Smaug's out of the smoke...
Apart from the nice artwork, I like about that map, that it allows a multi-border fight w/o too much scrolling, it is all nicely packed and a aggressive attack will be rewarded

Greetings from The Shire

P.S. how did you get that picture of me  ;)

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Martin I do enjoy making art but I also must tell you that I use a script for generating these maps. I start with some graphics in the gimp and I make them just the way I like and then I export as png and the script converts that into a crpl script that generates the terrain based on the image I made. From there I edit it to put the finishing touches. I can't remember anymore who originally made the png->terrain converter but it works quite well.

Small and packed was what I was going for Bilbo. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Great score again Helper!

Pretty cool, 3 cannon shots fire up the anti-creep engine (and noisemaker :p)

Tiny weak left foot, huge right foot o.O

For priorities i went with totems > anticreep > feet > dragon
