Are maps affected by golden/modern age in the current ruling?

I don't believe so... but I think a map does have to have the colored terrain areas to be legal.

thanks that was what I also read in the latest player's guide, i just needed clarification

so basically this is true? no one will disagree?

No, there's no reason to disagree with a correct answer.

Here's the specific rule from the comprehensive tournament rules:

1.2.10 Maps: Any WizKids-created HeroClix map is considered official, with the exception of maps from Star Trek: Tactics. Official 36- by 36-inch maps (3 x 3) can be used in any HeroClix event. Official 24- by 36-inch maps (2 x 3) can be used in any HeroClix event when only two players are playing on that map. Maps of other sizes – even those created by WizKids – can’t be used in a HeroClix event. Venues may dictate that maps are restricted to 2 x 3 maps if space issues are a concern. Venues may dictate for an event that only a particular map (or maps) will be used for any or all of a specific round, though this should be announced prior to the event. All WizKids sponsored events will only permit the use of maps that include the color designations for terrain and starting areas.

I do miss my four sided maps.

What kind of MC Escher maps do you have?!?!!?

All of mine are two-sided.


I personally wish they make more with four starting areas, though.

Technically every map has 6 sides... 4 of the sides are just not playable.

Good point.

thanks guys

How awesome would Möbius strip maps be?

A Promethea set would be pretty awesome, then you can have a map of the Immateria.

Well, if WK ever gets the license to do Planescape figures, we could do Sigil as a torus map.

Hi guys just wanna update this thread, I just read the newest player's guide and it includes this:
Tournament Legality
Official HeroClix maps without the modern color designations are
retired. Official HeroClix maps with the modern color designations
are only legal in events for which that particular set is legal
for force
construction.

..so what does it mean if we can relate it to this thread?

Old maps that don't have terrain labeled are retired for all events.

In modern, only maps that were from sets still considered in modern age are legal. So the Legion of Doom map from the Legion of Doom starter is good to go in modern. The Bridge from Web of Spider-Man is not.
