Firefly 'Verse Map

The working image

43 Countries

I'm fairly open to suggestions, but currently thinking of having 6 continents (4 rim world sections - need names to differentiate - and the core and border worlds), plus Angel as a special in itself.

Continent bonuses
Thinking :
3 armies for rim worlds (individual systems)
5 armies for border worlds
2 armies for core worlds
1 army for Angel

Lines of attack note:
The fact the core worlds can be protected by the border worlds should hopefully be balanced by the central position and chance of other players ganging up on a centre-hogger.

Within individual systems needs sorting.

Intra-system:
Hera <-> Jiangyin & Whittier
Dyton <-> Liann Juin & Beylix
At least, probably more

Angel <-> Londinium & Harvest & Regina

Rather thematically, if the Independents fight together, they can overwhelm an Alliance player, but the Alliance's centrol position and power means they can overwhelm fractious Independents piecemeal.

(I base this on the way continents usually end up gathered by players, and then the real fighting begins)

Oh, And I might need a hand clearing that text off the top (but then can also reduce map height, making resizing a little easier).

And I'll openly state now, whilst I can play with the image, I cannot do xml, so I'll be needing a volunteer if this proves popular enough.

Right now you have a LOT of open space and teeny tiny countries. It seems like you need to make every place a lot bigger if you want to see anything more than floating numbers.

Initial reworking on the go - need something more useful to work from anyway.

Angel scrapped entirely for ease

42 Territories
6 Continents

Simply because its quickest and easiest to use, I've whacked open paint to show how I think the continent layout should go (don't panic, hopefully will look like the original image when all polished off, just getting the layout right first)

I'm after fedback on the layout at the moment, before any aesthetics are done.

Again, another new map based off something that's likely going to get stuck at the copyright stage. I'm a big fan of Firefly and would love to see a map based on the show, but see what you can do about getting permission to make this map first.

Its an interpretation made by an RPG site forum user.

Also, where did the Middle Earth map come from then?

Man, what an UGLY map!
Plus, I hate its playability, and visual... all planets of one region being the same is completely ridiculous. And I feel completely no appeal. We already have a very good space map... Whats the point about this one?
