Whats the average growths because if he is close to the average than this is gonna be another seth
Unless midgame he dies
Pretty good maybe add somrthing in the plains part outside the gates because it feels like its wasting space
I feel like cutting down most of the outside and make it a castle map with be good enough
There seems to be a lot of dead space in the bottom and right side. Within the compound too, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of variety with the terrain or decorations. Mixing dirt and brick paths don’t really seem like a good idea, and the paths themselves are way too stiff and there are a lot of unrounded edges I can see (You generally don’t want the edges of your path tiles to be straight and obvious). There’s way too many chests for a chapter 1 map, and the treasure room is a little too uniform. For a first map too, this seems absolutely massive, so consider downsizing, especially cause your army at the start is definitely going to be small and you won’t have as many actions. Those window tiles in the bottom treasure room also don’t exactly look right. I don’t mean for my advice to be mean, but I feel like this map could be polished a lot, and an end product with polish would look great, I’m sure.
seth is just insane lol, i already cut his growths by 20 
im still working on it! im trying to be a bigger map as its supposed to be a small introduction into the main story, its going to be like a siege kind of, with green units. im trying to make it into a defend for a certain time and then eventually an escape map.
oooo you made that! thank you so much, ill let you make a unit if you want (as long as theyere somewhat serious ofc lol) sylas is a lil younger, the only reason hes a jaegan is because hes liiike super sickly. most of the support ideas i have for him and potential partners is them trying to persuade him to rest lol. currently i have 6 characters made, a soldier, a recruit, sylas, camila, and an avatar. the last character is just a story character! im planning on making it a longer hack, but i havent decided on how many characters i want.

When i learn more info i will try to make a sprite for one of them
characters so far
Camila (currently working on a sprite for her):
The sheltered young heir of seras, full of potential. Charming and good at talking, however she yearns to leave an impact on the world rather than settling into her duties as the current heir. her brother is young but still worries for her.
Sylas:
Camilas personal knight, loyal to a fault. Despite his sickness, he holds to his duty.
The youngest knight of house Seras, an illness has followed him since he was young. Despite this he has tried his best to be of use to Camila, there are rumors that his loyalty transcends that of a knight. kind and sarcastic, Sylas does his best to improve his strengths despite everything
Caine:
A member of the The Aurelius Order (not 100 on the name just yet), he has been tasked with holding the defensive line. Young and a bit abrasive, Caine gets into a lot of trouble. However his kind heart and good intentions lead to him getting let off more often than not. Fights for his little sister, who suffers a similar symptoms to Sylas. Sylas’ cousin.
Talia:
An escaped slave working as a squire for sir sylas, hopes for a better future. An honorbound woman who believes herself to be in debt to house seras. She is quite strong, and is usually kind. Harbors grudges, and has a tendency to be more cynical than the others in the party.
Avatar:
The child of a baron visiting duke Lysander, gets stuck with camila/goes with camila (depends on the players preference for rp lol) when the castle is attacked.
Duke Lysander:
Lysander von Seras, rising sun of the duchy seras. A kind man to the people, however he has been known to harbor resentment towards the other nobility. Lysander holds his sisters ambition as well, and hopes to make the world a better place.
Duke Edric:
“The Dark Duke” Lord Edric Byron (still deciding on last name) does not get his nickanme for nothing. A socialite, Edric spends his days conquering those weaker than him and then gloating about it too woman and men alike in the balls hosted by the emperor. He believes the nobility to be above common people, and makes a note to mention it often. Despite his general rudeness, his pretty face and charning personality has gotten many to fall for him. it is said that he pines for the emperors daughter for marriage.
???:
A mysterious mage in servous to Edric, magic seems to pore out from her.
(oop! also the glass was supposed to be beds, but they might not look it lol, this is supposed to be like a wing of a bigger castle, the duke is currently in his kings manor with his sister Camila. (theres 4 kings, and an emperor)
(the chest are mostly just to represent wealth, i was thinking maybe i could put different awards in each of them and then give a set number of keys, but i dont know if people would like that.)
Just be careful not to overwhelm your players. If this is your chapter 1 map, it is definitely too large, especially since you’d most likely have five to six units tops in chapter 1. I can see so many dead turns happening with the current setup, and that’s something you should avoid as much as possible
Btw have you gotten an idea for the first boss?
kind of, i have an introduction to a character boss. but i havent made the actual like boss youll have to defeat to win.
