from the map I don't get the use of aisles... are they territories? Or can territories sharing an aisle attack each other directly?

While the gameplay might be improved upon to a workable state, the basic idea and the graphics are still not making it in my opinion.

Territories Sharing an Aisle can Attack Directly.

What else do u think I could do to improve the map?

When I gave this map the draft stamp, I said that it needed something to help step it up a gear and bring it up a level...

I think it's got to the stage where, despite the improvements, it is still lacking a bit of 'je ne cest quoi', and that it might be worth starting afresh with a new vision for the map, or letting it go.

There is a glimmer of something here, but it feels like a caterpillar struggling to emerge from its caccoon :-/

I haven't given up, just taking a break to decide where to go from here in terms of redesign aspects.

Perhaps I could ask for graphical support from other members of this site that could help out in drawing stuff.

Benn? help me draw *l*

well the only things i have to say are
  • get rid of the stick ppl
  • add a black half opacity to the "CC MART" so its more distinguishable from the parking lot

Sry for suggesting it a little late, but how about the parking lot being a "continent" with the spaces being "countries."
Also, how about trolleys that can attack each other?

The map seems plain looking at first glance...

I think a Jazzy border could do this map wonders.

Washers and Dryers Can only attack Swimwear. Place of Attack, touches an Aisle # which touches a point of attack if touching :)

This map is almost as boring as a trip to Walmart. You really need to find a way to inject some life in there. It's just ... shapes. Collect all the same colored shapes and get a bonus. Where is the fun in that? Throw in some huge sales, a clean up in aisle 5, some freaky regarded dude in a wheelchair that greets you at the door, a huge line at customer service, employees smoking out back, etc.

This map is lifeless.

It would appear that development of this map has stalled.... It's a shame, but part of me feels that you've been struggling to pick the map up a level :?

You're gfx skills have improved dramatically since your early drafts - I wonder if the time has come to try your hand at something that is likely to gain more support/momentum? I don;t want to put you off developing this project, but just think that you're going to struggle to continue??

If you do continue from here, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. ;-)
