Pre-game Map Thread

[chaosxtreme]

Alright just to put some time tables on this so we don't get stuck on this phase especially since map wise I am mostly waiting for people's feedback.

Everything that has been submitted above this has been considered and where appropriate incorporated into the next version of the pregame map I am not releasing it yet because I would rather just have one release where people kick things up to DK for (seriously I deserve X) that's not to say a good deal of what was provided didn't pass muster fact is it mostly has and the map will reflect that.

That along with anything else that is provided by this coming Friday the 4th 3 p.m. Central Standard Time will be incorporated in the next version of the pregame map and be posted no later then Saturday 9 p.m. CST May 5th.


Second round for any resubmittal will get passed on to DK with your evidence and and a brief description of why I didn't implement it.  DK will make a decision on that and I will implement it I intend to deliver those changes no later then Saturday May 12th.

This time table may be shortened after I speak to DK. Frankly at this point the map is ready to rock and roll and I really only need 3 days to add the infra he just gave me he is waitig on you lot for PF additions once they are in things should go relatively quick.

Just saying guy's on a personal note I am in training this week which mean's it's a light week for me next week not so much. If you can please try to get any further requests for territorial adjustments in this week because if I can get the heavy lifting done early in the week before my boss realizes I do most of the work on the systems team and start's asking me to work night's that would be for the best for a quick resolution of the map.

If I may, I’ll put in some comments in regards the Magistracy of Canopus, since I have a passing acquaintance with the place:

There is not a lot to go on in regards the colonisation (actually, recolonisation) timeframes of a number of worlds from the period between 3027 and 3050.

In my opinion, the Magistracy map in Objective Raids isn’t worth even a bucket of pus, so I would probably use the Periphery sourcebook (nr 1692) @3059 for a comparison of maps between the two time periods.

What is on the @3059 map and isn’t on the 3027 map is:

Vixen (hex 1339)
Ballad II (hex 1442)
Westheimer (hex 1544)
Crawford’s Delight (hex 1744)
Kossandra’s Memory (hex 1642)

Of the above, the most likely to have been re-colonised in the intervening period is Ballad II and Vixen.  Ballad II is/was a provincial capital, so they would probably have wanted to re-establish the place as a prelude for subsequent expansion (which was occurring).  Vixen as a bridge to the isolated world of Thraxa.  For the other three worlds, I really do think they wouldn’t have been re-colonised until the 3040s, mainly because the Canopian economy was only just coming out of years of stagnantation.

From this, the following three worlds:
Port Western Reach (hex 1539)
Crow’s Feat (hex 2045)
McEvedy’s Folly (hex 0844)

Should be removed from the map, as they were GM or player initiated worlds from the 3063 game.

ADDITION:
Addasar (hex 2444) needs to be re-included as it was chopped.  Addasar has been an established Magistracy world since at least 2750.

Federated Suns data:

Transfers to the St Ives Compact:
Hex 2935
Tantara
Texlos

Hex 3034
Maladar
Warlock
Teng
Tallin


Additions to the FedSuns (from that Taurian browny colour):
Hex 4137
Verdigreis
Cohagen

Hex 4236
Estuan
Armington

Hex 4336
Csomad


Transfers to the Draconis Combine:
Hex 3423
McComb
Royal

Hex 3024
Cylene

Hex 2824
Murchison

Lima in hex 3524 is also Kuritan in this timeframe, but is sitting in the same hex as New Ivaarsen.  Can Lima be pushed a fraction ‘north’ into hex 3523 to accommodate the Kuritan occupation?

Likewise in hex 3024, Skat and Markab are under Kuritan control.  Can they be moved into 3023?

Transfers from Lyran blue to Federated Suns:
Hex 2625
Bryant
Caph
Epsilon Indi
Fomalhaut
Northwind

Transfer from FedSuns to Lyran Commonwealth:
Hex 2727
Hex 2826
Hex 2827
Hex 2926
Hex 2827

Of note, there are a few worlds that according to the War of 3039 are Lyran or Davion, but because of the map setup they fall outside the above five hexes.  But I don’t think it is important enough to try and squeeze them sideways into other crowded hexes. 

I believe that covers most things, although will have to get a map from work printed out to take a detailed look at the interior.

cheers

I'm showing about half of the CC without planetary names, is that my glitch or is everyone seeing the same thing? Here is the pre-3039 map I'm going off of from the book.

[chaosxtreme]

I am quite sure in my post, I noted that many of the world names got glitched before that one went up. That it was a known problem and was being addressed (in fact on the next version of the map it is already fixed).

Reading now with understanding. It's a good thing. 

[Fatebringer]

Yes, I skipped over a lot of posts I made sure find a graphic that has the worlds I love

[ThreeGees]

Well, I know of 17 you can't have back

Dear Sister,

I only hope that you listen to the will of your people, all of whom were Capellan Citizens who have lost the support of Sian because of your ... decision, it is the only way to rule.

Sincerely yours,

Romano Liao

(takes off GM hat, puts on Moderator hat)

please keep the OOC banter in the OOC forums from now on thanks!

Next version of the map just sent to DK waiting on confirmation before I post here.

[Daemonknight]

A few things need to be updated on the map, which I have informed Chaos about. But otherwise the map should be ready to rock, and I will begin the process of inputting territorial data into the sheets once you guys get them in to me at emiller228@hotmail.com

currently, only Lord Harlock(FRR) has submitted his sheet.

[Ian Sharpe]

I imagine Hugin is working on the LC sheet, but I have heard nothing. 

[Daemonknight]

I know he is, I spoke with him last night. I'm just going to fill in the territory tabs on the unfinished sheets I have, so I can copy-paste them onto the finished sheets the Faction Heads are sending me. Then once I've verified everything is correct, the FHs get their finished sheets, and we can kick the game off. Hoping to start on Monday, but it all depends on how fast the last few pieces come together.
