Map Ideas for next game

Post by **Jester-** » Fri Oct 20, 2006 2:29 pm

Lets get some submissions in. I want some reworked ideas, new ideas and even older maps posted. You can post maps you've done before or even reworked maps we've had before.

Also if you can't get it to post feel free to email it to me at retsej@gmail.com

Here is one of the older related threads to map making. Feel free to look at it, repost your own map or just get a refresh on people's ideas.

Map 1 I recomend for 1000 players. which we dont have. its simple 8 racials, 2 neutrals, featuring a hub in middle. 3000 sectors.

Map 2 is what I recomend for next round. I recomend for 750 players. Its high access map, meaning lots of warps between galaxies so theres lots of ways to get everywhere fast. No long ass plots and no one alliance being able to mine something and ruin game for everyone. simple 8 planet galaxies no hub. 2500 sectors.

I would be very worried that map 2 would be a paradise for fed-based hunters - the extremely high accessibility of all racial galaxies would lead to trading being practically impossible unless the racials were huge.

It is also a concern that there is only 1 neutral galaxy buffering the planet galaxies from the racials - from experience, this leads to non-aligned players and newbies getting toasted if they so much as poke a small laser through their racial warps.

I say, one big 200x200 map, with scattered planets, racial HQ, and 2 CA

sooo, if you really want a graphical picture, It would be 1 big box.
