Casino Themed map

by **Jace22** on Mon May 31, 2010 3:23 am

I'm just throwing an idea I've had sitting around for a while(since at least christmas), but what would you all think of a casino map(possible name: Conqueror's Casino). I think I can have a simple sketch up later if it seems like a good

updated: shocked439 worked on a better draft than my sketch

Could be interesting... might need a twist though. There's plenty of good casino movies we could rip off of.

And your image is sideways.

by **Jace22** on Mon May 31, 2010 8:25 am

yeah, I realized it was sideways after posting. And anyways it is just a basic sketch for now. I was thinking of having a win condition with the big slot machine in the middle, but have a large number of neutrals on it|(not sure yet). I'll rescan the image and repost it when I get home this evening

Conquer slot machine?

We could have a casino night with Poker club as well...

why not make it a whole series of maps with roulette and blackjack as well

fixed the image

just realized that I know nothing about graphics design, so any help in that department would be much appreciated. Thanks

i like the scamming off of a movie idea. Oceans Twelve or thirteen or eleven or whichever it is would be fairly easy. a map of the bellagio floor would be easy to find with a couple insets for the swat team outside and the casino vault area.

that seems like a good idea. As long as we avoid using any real casino names(as they are copyright I believe) that should work. Let me see if i can get another sketch up. btw, still looking for someone to work on graphics

Here's something I came up with. I still need to add a poker room and it's really hard to make a non-phallic roulette table.

I like where this is going. Good job so far

by **shocked439** on Sat Jun 26, 2010 12:06 am

I spent some time fixing it up yesterday. I think it's looking like 40 spaces the dealers would make great neutrals, and the pit boss would be a good killer neutral. I fixed the phallic roulette table. I'll post it on Monday when I have real Internet access again

by **shocked439** on Tue Jun 29, 2010 10:40 am

Here's my idea based off of jace's

it features 12 starting spots, 12 autodeploys (slot machines), 2 killer neutrals, 75 total spaces and lots of one way attacks.

Hmm... against my initial expectations, this is shaping up quite nicely.

I like the killer neutral choke points.

I don't like how it's taken me 3 minutes to figure out how to get to the high rollers lounge from the blackjack tables. Try coordinating the colors a little better?

I added some titles to each of the rooms and altered the rooms to make roulette worth while

I definately like the way this map is going, but, I think that quarter slots should assault any adjacent slot(ie QS 2 can attack QS 1, 3. and 6). But other than that It looks good.

I wasn't sure how to word it, I put that they can attack one higher and one lower (so 1 can attack 12 or 2, 2 can attack 1 or 3)

I understood that, I was just suggesting another way the gameplay could work for the QS

i see what you mean, so the middle row could attack the top and bottom rows, while the top could only attack middle and the spot next to it.

exactly

by **shocked439** on Tue Jun 29, 2010 4:42 pm

i'm thinking with only two of us supporting this idea its not going to get very far

by **Jace22** on Wed Jun 30, 2010 9:42 am

unfortunately, that's how I'm thinking as well

by **Blitzaholic** on Wed Jun 30, 2010 9:46 am

Can you post a pic, so I can see, i am more of a visual learner. The casino themed map is a great idea, something I have been suggesting for a few years now, glad to see.

by **Chuuuuck** on Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:08 am

I like the idea as well.

by **Jace22** on Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:17 am

glad to be getting some feedback on this now(other than shocked and myself). I updated the image that shocked created(and am aware that it may need to be smaller and need a smaller image). Any input would be much appreciated.
