I'd vote but the pic won't load for me. Is it loading for everyone else?

So is there anything else to do before the xml?

Well I'm ready to go ahead and finish the XML.

I have no idea how to turn off the poll!

Well I took out the win condition for map. Unless there's any other problems, I'll get the coordinates set and then the XML's ready.

Well it was just an idea anyway... it certianly doesn't have to stay.

i personally hate it, adn just want to see if the majority of players feel the same.

I thought it only ended a couple of game types?

some of the planets are a little too similar in color and can be confusing for colorblind ppl like me..... i have a hard time with the army colors i dont need it in maps. Otherwise this map looks absolutey a blast to play on. Great job.

I have difficulty with the army colors too... which is why ...

yamaha,

The +0 for the Gas giants is so he can easily say "all other planets +1." That would be difficult w/o the +0 gas giants comment. Besides the red glow is important.

jako,

The XML is possible, you just need to code something like this (I don't know the appropriate win terminology):


<win ...

Hi Guys,

I took a stab at the XML and here's what I got. Ignore the coordinates, I havn't mapped them precicly.

I only put neutrals on Gas Giants, Earths, and Stargated planets.

Holding all the stargates is a win.


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<map>

Ok, I've updated the map and I'm going to fix the 1st post. Edited both large and small.

- Added Stargate to Secunda I
- Changed Secunda bonus to +3

I'll setup the poll...

Hi All,

Any other thoughts on where to go next?

So far, a stargate on Secunda 1 is suggested and I put out the idea of making all the core systems neutral to begin with and possibly making holding all the stargates a win condition.

I'd like some more comments before doing anything.

Looking through the XML stuff, I thought of something else:

If we leave the core systems as neutrals (adn the +0 & +2's) what if controlling the stargates as they are now is a win senario? That way people start in the outer rim areas and fight towards the center for control of the stargates ...

Aerial Attack wrote:I like this idea. What are we identifying as the core systems? Also, are we just talking about the Stars in those systems or the entire system (that's a LOT of neutral terrs)

Everything in Eallah, Fikwi, Qyis, Asomin & Suibor. Planets & suns.

If we put a gate there, how about making a +x bonus for holding all gates? Would that help or hinder?

Also: How would people feel about making all the central systems neutral to start (along with all the +0 and +2's)? Kind of a galactic revolution where the core systems start neutral and the ...

So a gate on Bylaris? What about a tear or wormhole instead?

Hi all,

What's everyone's idea on how to proceed? I don't want to edit any starlanes, nor move planets around.

I could add another stargate, but I'd rather much with the bonuses instead.

Would the problem be elieviated by gonig back to the original no system bonuses, only planetary bonuses?

*twidles thumbs patiently*

Hi All,

What if when map gets selected as 'poster-worthy' instead of the artist getting paid per se, the artist sells the map to CC in exchange for free premium membership?

Thanks,

I've updated the first post.

Whoops missed planet 1 & asteroids on fikwi. Needs to go down and left.

Here's the last large one one:



Here's the new small one:



I tried to make the text as readable with the small space.

I'll be happy to get the large one finalized.

The small one would just be another editing session to shrink & move stuff around.

Here we go:



There's no need to make specific fixes to the small map as that was just a test. The real one will be a lot different.

I fixed most of the stuff for the large one.
