Map Name: Time Management aka Spree
Name of Creator: SilverSong
Current Stage: Not ready for testing 2 of 101%
Summary of Map gameplay/objectives:
Create your own products by researching recipes and finding materials. Sell them to the working populace. Each peasant walks in with a shopping list of what he or she wants to buy. Fill each shopping list, before your customers leave to earn gold. Advancing to the next round means fullfilling a gold requirement at each level. Further each round is timed, and you must earn a required minimum of gold in the time allotted to advance to your next round, otherwise you are required to repeat your previous round until you make your quota.
Spend Lumber to build decorations, change or upgrade shelves and beautify your shop. Lumber can also be saved up and spent to buy more plots on the board to increase your income. First Tycoon to 50,000 gp wins the game.

Spree is going to enter the battle.net world of warcraft 3 as the first playable solo, team, multi-player game of it's class. I want it to work and run like a well-oiled machine. The game will have many degrees of recipes, versatality and new things for players to discover or just play around with. The planned Color Range system that I am working on by myself is one those 'discovery, cool things' that I want to incorporate into the game. Spree is going to be one of those maps people will want to host, re-host and host again not only for those people wanting to see if they can become the next big thing, but also because of all the equivalent 'side-quests' and other play options that I am researching how to do.
Rules and Guidelines
* The creator will accept your criticism, but you've got an obligation not to abuse that privilege. Any negative comments must have a clear explanation, or they'll be looked upon as flaming and dealt with harshly. At the same time, explanations aren't required for positive comments, but they're strongly encouraged.
* All files should be either attached to a post or uploaded in the resource section.
