Seems alright but 2 seems like a really small number like with five people that's 12x12 isn't it? I don't know that just seems a bit small for that many troops.

The book can crush skulls, and the coffin grows ever stronger and now that is has a few dead dragons in it, it sends people flying a mile backwards to explode in a pile of gore. Gore which I then place into the coffin,

Hmmm. . . . math time. 12x12 map means 144 squares, or possible places to have a unit.
We have five players, each with he maximum of 8 units, which means 40 total units
That means, with all units on the field, one has only 104 different places that you can move just one unit.

2N = two squares for every unit on the board.
+2= extra rows of spaces basically padding.

I'd say possibly change to +3 or +4, or have a limited number of terrain that blocks. For instance, walls and lots of vegetation and rocks around are very annoying, and I'm not saying have very clear roads, but general "beaten paths" should stand. I don't even know how are armies even saw each other, or why the hell we chose HERE to fight.

Which reminds me. Terrain is varied enough, but maybe throw in a sand, water, and ruin tile? Ruins take 1 movement and can't be fired through, water can't be walked through but can be shot over, and sand is hard to traverse (hypocrisy, saying I want less like this, but it's artistic)

Maybe turn it to three plus make it so you have some terrain altering abilities might be interesting.

So essentially Tsuchigumo, what you are saying is that you want me to have the same terrain penalties but add different flavors to them depending on the map?

@Zacen have you read the updated ruleset? I have several units capable [at least one or three] of changing the terrain.

They're small, but they're cramped as well. I feel like I'm stuck in a pachinko machine or something.
Really? I feel like I can't get anywhere. Clearly something past board size needs to change.

There were some other differences, too. Water, most notably--especially as certain units might be able to swim.

I think its the terrain thats the problem. The difference between being able to move a unit 2 spaces in every direction and being able to shoot spells far off in every direction, and being able to move a unit 1 space in two directions, not move in two others, and not being able to use any ranged attacks at all is huge.

It would be different with more types, and if there was less terrain that blocked ranged attacks and slowed movement.

Good news: Update today.

Bad News: Cleric 1 cannot move to E13 as that space is occupied by Cleric 2. So... Please fix that.

That was the sand, yeah. Basically what I'm saying is have these types of tiles available:
Easy Movement/Does Not Block Arrows
No Movement/Does Not Block Arrows
Difficult Movement/Blocks Arrows
Easy Movement/Blocks Arrows
and regular walls.
