[Abandoned] - Conquer Mart!

[MrBenn]

I've played around with the title... you could try going for something like this:

OK so it looks like there are two differences. The floor pattern and the cart/path attack routes.

Personally I prefer the floor in Map 1 and the paths in Route 2, I've never particularly like the cart attack routes.

Awesome!!! I seriously am gonna do something very similar! You've sparked my inspiration 10 Fold

[shakeycat]

OoooOoooo, you get to call it Lzrman's Conquer Mart!

[lzrman]

Well we have to personalize it somehow *l*

On continent balance, aren't appliances and furniture particularly good?
They look easier to hold for a large bonus than others..
If you don't have continent bonuses balanced, a random start positions can result in the player with the most randomly allocated turf in the strong continents winning...

[lzrman]

We can simplify that by adding more connection points, I will review and add that to my list of modifications to implement on the map.

This looks great!!

I think the title in V17.2 is cool and the on that Benn put on is cool, but they both give a totally different feel to the map so I think that is your choice.

In terms of gameplay I would split the checkouts into 2 territs

will be back!

Hi! I'm just gonna stop by and give an opinion.
Nice map! V18 looks much nicer than V17 although:
- I do prefer those shopping carts used in V17
- That new logo looks a bit out of place. It looks a bit too... umm, evil (?) for the rest of the map imo. (it looks good, but not for this map)
- I think the bonuses could use some work (eg children's wear looks a lot easier to hold than service)
hope this helps!

[rishaed]

personally because every area in the service area connects to every other area, I think it should be bumped up to a bonus of 2

[sailorseal]

I like the new texture. Will be back with more support

Next Revision will include a increase of 1 to the Service Area.

Ooooh, who's that in the Women's Wear Fitting Rooms? And who's that guy peeking in? Whoa there!

[MrBenn]

I like the little people, they add a bit of kitsch charm to the map, although I'm sure others will dislike them

The new title doesn't really do anything for me - your name should be a lot smaller...

The little lines in the background are a great touch - it might be worth splitting the sections onto different layers and tweaking the transparency so that they're fractionally darker on some areas where they don't show up as clearly.

Anyway, let's get this boat on the road:

congrats, its taken a while, but the time spent has been worth it

[lzrman]

W00t! Thanks Mr. Benn !

Next Update Will Have:
1. Connection from Infants > Foot Wear
2. Change on the Floor Background to Raise the Opacity of the lines slightly.
3. Service bonus increased to +2
4. Different Colored Logo to match the map colors, (not so evil)


If you could add another connection point, where would you add it? to assist in balancing the bonus?

[sailorseal]

Glad to see you brought back some cool drawings and that you are in the main foundry!

Any thing else you guys can think of before I start XML?

[LED ZEPPELINER]

right now i don't realy like your background, maybe add a parking lot outside or something

Like a darker-light gray with yellow lines for the parking dividers?

Something like so?!

[LED ZEPPELINER]

yes but it would be better if you kept your lines consistent, and maybe make the doorway and actual door

[a.sub]

too gray imo

[shakeycat]

Congratulations on making it to the main foundry!

But your colour scheme still does nothing for me. The colours simply do not go together, they are not pleasing to look at. Look at other maps - Cairns Metro or Coral Coast, Duck and Cover, Egypt Upper, NYC, Puget Sound, Mongol Empire. The colours go together, they jive. They're arranged in a pleasant manner, and look professional.

Can we try something different?
