Map changed to Embassy Spy Map

Post by reddbeerd »

I surprised that a hotel map hasn't yet been made. Has it been rejected as an idea in the past?

I might go for it if you added something cool to it like spies or communist assassins

It's a great idea and I very much like the idea of a cross-cut. We always play on maps viewed from above (like landscapes) but almost never viewed from the side. That's great.
Next thing I would look for is a bit of a story, imagine what type of hotel? when?
Isn't there a story about a murder in a hotel-room, is it a police-raid...? see what I mean...Or a Bond-style Hotel.
I definitely would go for a swimming pool where you can dive in, some sort of sea-route :lol: :lol:
just my opinion. Go for it!

I kinda like this idea. Sort of put a twist on things instead of a bunch of business owners sending in their militia to take over an expensive hotel :| Hopefully you can get a nice theme that would explain why you're fighting in a hotel.

Army, do not steal my ideas :D

I am planning to do a cluedo style map after the conqueropoly map as part of a board games compendium.

as to this hotel map, I like it. perhaps for the storyline something like that story in pakistan with the hostages?

Why not just do a mall instead of a hotel? I was at a big mall in Chiang Mai today, looking at the map there, it was a huge mall, many options. Conquering a mall would be aight.

I'm changing the idea to an Embassy, mostly side view like this hotel, with a spy theme. Working on design now.

Just a picture IF YOU DID decide to go with a mall theme, this was just 1 floor of 5 or 6... obviously CC maps would only have room for prob just 1 floor.
