Legacy of Sorasil quest pack?

[Infje]

You gotta be a bit more specific if you can? What is it you want me to do with the tiles? Which tile are you referring to?

[Nephew of Mentor]

There is a 4x4 rug tile in the Against The Ogre Horde quest pack. That tile, modified to a 2x3 size could work well (I think I said 6x2, but I meant 2x3). However, on the bottom side of the tile it would be identical, but with one corner pulled back to reveal a hidden trap door. Of course, the tile could be fabricated from step one, if you so chose, but I was just offering up the idea I had..
Is my description better? Haha.

[Infje]

Like this?
Just as an example, not to be used of course. The part that is flipped could reveal the trap door.

[Nephew of Mentor]

That is very much what I am talking about as far as the bottom side goes. It would have the trap door, of course, but you are on the right track.

I figured I would install the game myself and see what's needed. It would save a lot of discussions. But quite frankly, I don't see how you guys are going to port this into a playable quest pack. I don't mean to be rude but it's just really different and the map layouts don't even come close to a normal HQ map. Also, there a lots of environments and you would need a large tile set.

I've actually got all but a few levels sketched out already. Unfortunately, my chicken scratch is less than decipherable, except by me, of course. Haha.

My assumption (correct me if I'm wrong here, guys) is that they are heavily adapting it to fit the HeroQuest board. So, for instance, it won't be a square-for-square replication. That's what I would do, at least. I'd use very few new tiles (maybe one or two for the whole quest pack) and just fit it into the HeroQuest board just like all other quest packs.

[Infje]

That's true. But then it wouldn't really be the game anymore now would it? That's my point really, the two don't fit without doing one of them injustice. But your reasoning is sound and probably the only way to go.

[Goblin-King]

What works well in a video game isn't necessary what works well in a board game - and vice versa.
I believe it's possible to do an adaptation that both work as a HQ game and does the amiga game justice.

[Nephew of Mentor]

I agree with Goblin King on this one. Like I said, I have actually sketched out maps that I think will do justice to the game. I am just short on the time it would take (and sometimes the skill) to convert it from there. It will happen eventually, whether or not I am the one to do it, but it might take a while.

However, I see bastianbux suggested few new tiles. Do other people feel the same in that respect? Let me know.
