I like the system spacing but would like to see more space between families

Luckily can change the maps how we like :slight_smile:

Here are a few Border Conflict with different family numbers / positions.

BIRTHRIGHT

You start the round as the ruler of an entire kingdom.

You start the round and already have a huge empire.

You are born into power.

Born with a birth right.

We’re likely going to keep size/count near what it was for andromeda-51 :

  • 80x80 Map
  • 329 Systems
  • 1645 Planets

This was 5 planets per system.

So for a custom map we should strike a similar balance. I plan to keep 80x80 and around the same number of total planets, but number of systems and planets per system can be adjusted as necessary.

I feel like 50 was too big–explo phase nearly to the end and 51 was too small–explo phase over by first week. It would be nice to shoot for a middle ground between those two.

Okay cool.

I think maybe (4) planets per system is a good idea as it fills the map out a little more with systems and jump points, plus is gives less chance of large empty area and huge expo flight times, ect.

I can’t remember but think Andro 50 was around 5000 planets?

That was a great map but expo phase lasted right until the end.

Where Andro 51 with 1645 planets the expo phase was over in about 1 week.

Maybe I’m totally wrong, I often am lol, but I think around 2500 to 3500 planets would be the sweet spot? That would be around a 2 week expo phase then a 2 week fight phase which is then about equal.

Either way I’m enjoying making some maps and people are free to rebuild / edit / steal my ideas and create their own.

Yeah, andro 50 was 5000:

  • 100x100 Map
  • 1000 Systems
  • 5000 Planets

Not only too big (sparse) of a map imo, but also too many avg planets per player.

We could meet somewhere in the middle per @Ashamirre’s suggestion and go for around 3000 planets total. I think an 80x80 map would still make sense though to foster more competition through proximity.

600 systems w 5 each would make 3000 total and be nearly double the systems of this round.

I think that would work really well.

Somewhere between 2500 to 3500 would give a nice balance of explore time + fight phase.
