New Map Layout

Post by JettJackson »

This is next game's map layout

Racial sizes (green) are 10x10 except Alskant which is 11x11
Neutral (red) is 26x26
Planet Gals (blue) are 8x8 with 10 planets

I also decided to put neutral fed back in as we haven't had it for at least 3 games, just to try and see if it will help promote activity.
Speed will be 1.75.

I thought we haven't had neutral fed only for one round, and that would be this round. Last round, galaxy called Funnel held the neutral fed space.

Me thinks 8x8 is quite large for planet galaxies, esp since no one will be building planets. Well, most likely. Also, I see that the capability of universe generator, to have non-square galaxies is never used, and this can be rather interesting for both planet and racial galaxies... why always have all racial galaxies of the same shape?

Other than that - just another standard, pretty much boring map.

Sorry, I take that back. The fact that the planet galaxies can only be reached by jump is quite innovative.

That's beside the point. Having completely unusable planet galaxies is very innovative.

Sure we will. At least I will claim a planet where they can deliver my newspaper so I have something to read on the toilet.

I agree on using the non-square part of the map generator. Lets make something a little more exciting, but not as extreme as funnel.
