Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159265

VICTORY CONDITION
Control all of the components of Pi 3.14159265 IN THE DISPLAY.

STARTING POSITIONS
There are 8 starting positions (Terms) at the top of the map. They one-way assault into the green buttons (numbers 00 thru 9 and ".") and (+-x÷).

GREEN BUTTONS
Green buttons can attack each other. Green buttons can also can one-way dead end attack its corresponding number IN THE DISPLAY. Examples: The 3 can attack the 3. The 1 can attack both of the 1's. The 4 can attack the 4. Etc. The green buttons and (+-x÷) also one-way attack the Yellow, Red, and White buttons.

YELLOW BUTTONS
ON/AC button bombard all numbers 3,".",1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5 in Pi.
"=" button one-way attack all of the numbers 3,".",1,4,1,5,9,2,6,5.

RED BUTTON BOMBARDS THE TERMS
OFF button would bombard the starting positions. Circumference, Concentric, Radius, Circle, Diameter, Tangent, Curve and Arc

WHITE BUTTONS HAVE UNIQUE ONE WAY DEAD END ATTACKS INTO THE DISPLAY
EVEN one-way attacks the EVEN numbers. 4,2,6
ODD one-way attacks the ODD numbers. 3,1,1,5,9,5
PRIME one-way attacks the PRIME numbers. 3,5,2,5
COMPOSITE one-way attacks the COMPOSITE numbers. 4,9,6
UNITY (1 is UNITY in math) one-way attacks both 1s. 1,1
ALT-L (alternation numbers from the left) one-way attacks 3,1,1,9,6.
ALT-R (alternation numbers from the right) one-way attacks 5,2,5,4 and ".".

STARTING NEUTRALS
Green Buttons 0, 00, ".", 7, 8,+,-,x,÷ start neutral 2
Green Buttons 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, start neutral 3
Green Buttons 1 and 5 start at neutral 4
Display numbers 3.14159265 will start neutral 3.

KILLER NEUTRALS
White buttons would start Neutral 1
The ON/AC button and "=" would start 2
The OFF button (being the most powerful) would start 20

BONUS
Standard 1 troop per 3 terr. with 3 troop minimum.
Each TERM will auto deploy +1.
Each component of 3.14159265 IN THE DISPLAY would + 3 bonus.
Green buttons 0, 00, 7, 8,+,-,x,÷ auto deploy +1.

CREATIVE IDEA
A π Achievement Award Medal would be cool. As part of the rollout the medal would only be available to any winner in the first 314 days. After that no more would be given. Ever! Making them a status symbol.

ART IDEAS
Bright and cheerful. Green chalk board with white chalk game instructions. To the left is a calculator. Starting positions above calculator would be math terms.

Keyboard Art. Number buttons and +-x÷ would be green with white text. EVEN, ODD, PRIME, COMPOSITE, UNITY, ALT-R and ALT-L would be white with black text. ON/AC and "=" would be yellow with black text. OFF button would be red with white text.

Thanks for reading!

i've moved this thread to map ideas, as there is neither an image nor a mapmaker yet.

u've linked to a page that has lots of calculators. it'll be helpful if u post a picture of the particular calculator that u have in mind, as many calculators have different layouts from each other.

OP's been edited 24 times, too - this map IS happening.

I'm thinking ''Pie School'', it will be sort-of a mash up between mathematics and a pastry-oriented culinary academy. The basic layout could be arranged as a ... wait for it... pie chart.

if u're searching for an artist, then a first step might be to ask ur clanmates.

it might be a good idea to sketch a rough outline of how you think the map would look, scan it and post it here.

I've got to be honest though, although I like the basic inspiration, I think you'll have to make some big changes to make it a playable CC map.

Big changes to make it playable by Sym. Yea, I bet...

Thanks for your terminal NON-player feedback... NEXT!

Great map image, but gameplay remains a black box.

Mascots: 4 cats, 2 raptors, 1 canine, 1 equine.

What about a Bull?
Go the Wildcats!

We might consider a bull in the future. I had already asked the artist to update the mascots. Thorthoth thought we had too many felines. The updated list is...

Eagles, Tigers, Bulldogs, Knights, Wildcats, Mustangs, Falcons and either (Vikings, Warriors or Chiefs). I'm using a most popular HS mascots list to appeal to the majority of CC players. Go Wildcats!

pi-school is [approved] for MapStarter, so welcome to the drafting room! ur general contribution medal is on the way.

players can pledge a quantity of conquer credits of their choosing by posting in the map thread. after a map has 1,000 credits committed, it qualifies for MapStarter matching funds, to be paid out upon quenching.

Why do we have to pay for the development of a site that we pay for?

Its voluntary? It's to encourage map makers and if the community really is interested in a project can tally more than what the site used to offer map makers previously
