Next Game map

Post by Blade »

So with the few ideas that got passed around I have come up with his.

Image

So we have

Yellow = 2 race galaxies connected to the outer hub and all races galaxies are connected to each other and outer hub
Orange = the outer hub, connected to all racials and the planet hub, this will hold the ports, locations and CA's
Red = planet hub, connected to the outer hub by 4 warp points holds all the planets in the game, will have a few ports, maybe an UNO?

Size, I will leave that open what do you people want??

ok the only thing here.. with the orange gal if I want to get to one sector that is on the other side of that circle do I have to go all the way around? Why can't I just cut across? That could potentially eat a lot of turns.

All joking aside. I think this design is perfect. Sizing though... would have to be fairly big gals... 16x16 racials? Maybe even 18x18 or bigger, I dunno...

Neutrals though like 20x20 or 22x22

ROFL

Siege, by now you should know that all galaxies are squares in shape.. and that this is just a graphical representation of galaxy connectivity. If Blade wanted to draw all galaxies as squares it would lead to lines that connect warp cross each other and a generally make a messy overview of the layout.

Any other stupid questions? :P

Edit: Siege cut in and apparently saved his butt.

3 Cheers for something new and original....

Unos would definitely be needed in the planet hub... fewer than in the outter hub though. And maybe connectivity within the planet hub should be less too.... so that routes can be created and tunnels with planets can be used.

I agree with siege about the racials..... admins should maybe test the map first and see what kind of routes are created so that each race has its fair shot... who knows what 2 race racials will do to them.

Planet hub will have 4 warps as it stands any less than that could cause 1 or 2 alliances dominating all the passasages through to the hubs, that would be my only concern with less warps specially as the 1 planet hub would be pretty big so fewer warps could create to many super routes

One more thing... huge planet galaxy can make insane routes right from the start, so you might want to take some precaution measures for that. I'm thinking ports of all lvls with high port density, so routes start somewhat bad and raids must be done for creating a money/xp route by an alliance.

MrSpock gave me some information that classic does not allow multi racials so we are unable to have 2 races per racial in classic.
