At game start there are 255 unconnected circles scattered throughout the map, as the map designer, I myself can't even remember which each one represents unless I look at the map in the map editor. So it is truly a matter of what one wants to get out of the game.
If you want to explore and make the most out of the game, don't look at the map in the editor. If you want to be unsporting and out for blood in a role played game, then look at the map and take the fun out. Simple.
I am not playing this game to win, I am playing to rewrite Cardassian history and enjoy every Last turn.
