Some examples

anyone

oh YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a good idea to me.

It would have to just be a 'Supermarket'

ConquerMart?

CrappyMart--lol as the service does suck--idea is cool though

Kind of reminds alot of CCU, but if you do it right i think it would have alot of potential.
Copyright has already been mentioned, but I like the idea of ConquerMart, or even CCMart could work.

I spend too much of my life in the supermarket as it is.... The thought of wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles through fog, sounds like a bit of a nightmare!

On an a side-note, as a child I used to have a recurring nightmare about being chased round a supermarket by a crocodile pushing a shopping trolley and wearing an "I ♥ Shopping" t-shirt...

[shudders]

Great Responses !!!

I think I should get started on making this map! =)

I assume the next step is to make a decent looking Conquer Mart Map and post it in the Drafts forum?

[shudders]

and shudder do i also. no brand name maps or maps about the most mundane aspects of our modern lives are allowed on cc ... it's rule no. one in the how to be a responsible human being handbook.

So, I have a draft map...... should I start it out in the drafts section? or do I need an idea's stamp?

Or just post it here and im sure MrBenn will move it too the correct place

Just a draft w/ no color =)! I haven't decided where I'm gonna put connectors for this map.

32 Places
7 Continents = Each quad of departments and line of them is one

make it bigger


and colorful



maybe the ailes connect the different areas? in fact, why not have the ailes as territories?

Holding 1 or more territory of each, womans and mens wear, gives a malus of 3

Theres 34 territories, washroom is one too, and mens is 2 should rename it men's accessorites or something rather.

Good Idea on the holding mens and ladies +3
I'll make it bigger and work on it this week.

Added:
- Separation Color of Continents.
- Sized it up from 700 width to 800 width
- Changed the Double Men's Wear and Ladies' to Accessories and Maternity +P!

Updated:
- Draft Connection Points for Attack

As you have a draft image, I'll move you into the drafting room.

It might be worth reading some of the previous Supermarket Map suggestions to see where they stumbled...
New Map: The Mall
The Shopping Center

What does everyone think of the connection points to the outside perimeter ? I was thinking on having it like the "Senate Map" where there is entrances at the top and bottom, but I've modified it so there's no entrance to the perimeter from the side, giving it a level of difficulty.

Thoughts on the color scheme?

Anyone have any idea what the main background should look like? Maybe shopping carts/shopping baskets/money? a mix of the 3 ?

Version 5 of Conquer Mart

Anyone have any thoughts about the connection points? or layout of the white squares?

Someone Comment?!
