Description

AKA "Tales from Toby's Graphic Go-Karts."

This map is based off of the complete studio works of the British progressive rock band Yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_(band)

There might have also been some borrowing from Warhammer.

During the time this map was finalized, the following were completed:
* 10 run-throughs of DSOTM
* 20+ run-throughs of CttE
* 1/2 run-through of Union before I remembered how bad it was
* Somebody stole the orange I had been saving for weeks
* Yes got inducted into the RNRHOF after ~25 years of eligibility so I had to edit the map, which is my excuse for why it took so long. And no, it didn't take me 25 years to make this map.

Couldn't fit all 500 members into the right-hand table, so only those who were inducted into the RNRHOF are present ( the "Union" lineup). Also, don't zoom in too close to their faces unless you want to have nighmares tonight...

I can't really comment on the theme of the map, but the map itself is excellent.

I love AG and think that everything he does is amazing seriously he is sooo amaazzingggg. <333 Good map, pretty good size and plays nice with well drawn territories and nice depth. Good for FFAs but I can see team games working for it as well. The map is like a giant ring. Selected live albums is a neat bonus that gives you access to several different regions on the map so it's ultra strategic. I like this map and will be playing FFAs on it. Thanks AG <3

2 stars. I don't really get this chain. This map should be one of the first 5 maps on the chain, even the name of it says that, it's a beginner map -- why is it at level 24? The map itself is fine, but a beginner map should not be this far down the chain!

Hello, nice looking map. "And You and I - I. Cord of Life" and "II. Total Mass Retain" look like they are connected, but they are not.

A wonderful challenge! Getting to pick the starting position put my multiple failures on me. Hey, I kept trying until finally succeeded.
