Battlefield builder update (LandSCAPE)
Hey, I'm not sure if anyone's used a little program I made called LandSCAPE (it's a Flash based tool for helping you design battlefields) Anyway, I just updated it with some of the new sets for this summer (Wave 2, roads, trees, lava, etc. - even though the lava sets haven't technically hit the shelves yet). I thought I'd post here in case anyone was interested.

http://www.logrey.com

Also, I have a program up there I called Manager - it allows you to play around with making different armies from all your units. You specify an army size (in points), specify which units you have (including custom ones - if you're into that), and then view the stats and build the army. It's not very complex, but it's a fun diversion.

Again, I hope someone can get a few minutes of entertainment out of it. If you like it - click some Google links. (those pennies add up!) :)

Wow - just noticed this message got pinned. Neat. :)

Anyway, last week I posted LandSCAPE 3.2. Nothing earth-shattering in there. But, it does have where you can customize your collection with the Jandar's Oath stuff (the measly few sand tiles that they are.) Also, I changed the underlying structure to use Flash 8, so you need the new Flash 8 player if you're viewing the web version (the reason for doing so was that it allowed me to do some significant speed increases). If you download though, everything should just work.

As always, keep me posted on problems. (LandSCAPE's companion software, Manager (for managing your armies) is currently offline, but will be put back up, and updated with Wave 3 units, in the next few days)

Logrey,

This is an amazing program, and I believe that the amount of time and effort that you put into it shows (I assume it was a lot :p). I especially like the fact that you account for the few tiles that came with each booster pack...that is really genius. I have been able to make some pretty fun scenarios without the headaches of all the trial-and-error that comes with actually building from scratch with the tiles themselves.

One question about the manager: when will it be available for download on Windows? I really look forward to that one. Also, would it be possible to add "Planet" or "Land" as a characteristic? i.e. Feylund, Marro, Earth, etc. It may already be on there and I missed it, but I think that it would be pretty neat to set up some planetary battles. Thanks again for the amazing HS resources!

Just a quick note that I updated the HS Manager program too (for searching/building armies). It now has the Jandar's oath stuff in there. It's also available from:

http://www.logrey.com

Like LandSCAPE, it's available in a web version, as well as a download for Mac/Windows. If I messed up any stats, send me a GeekMail.

Man, I somehow just noticed this! Very nice work! :)

Any chance of the Elite Onyx Vipers being added to the Unit DB?

I like LandSCAPE, but I'm wondering if it is going to be updated to include the new sets any time soon.

I was wondering the same thing. Is there going to be an update?

I just purchased Master Set 2 - Swarm of the Marro

I've noticed that there are no tiles for:
Swamp
Swamp Water
Rock

Perhaps there is a way to make it user updatable?

I would probably create a "New" Piece, New Hex, Glyph form that updates an XML file, which is then read by the Flash file appropriately.

LandSCAPE was out-evolved by the 3D - and easier to use - Virtualscape.
