The Lord Protector appreciates this information from the gracious Space Vikings, and will be on the lookout for other mimics.

P.S. Was anyone else able to see the systems connected to their homeworld system right from turn 1? The Lord Protector rather wonders how that happened....

If this is a 3-planet start, as indicated by previous Posts, then you get some free maps automatically.

SE4 assumes that since you have colonized other worlds already, you would have done a little exploring too.

It is, so that makes sense. (Does it go out further for five or ten planet starts?)

I've noticed one very silly thing in multi-planet starts: the systems that you've explored and/or colonized won't necessarily be connected to each other by explored warp lines.

human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I noticed that as well, capnq, in one of my other PBW games.

In other news, the Lord Protector was beginning to feel like his was the only empire in the galaxy. However, the Hepcats have made contact with the Morloc Protectorate, and the Lord Protector is thrilled at the prospect of working with the Morlocs for the mutual betterment of both our peoples!

+++ Excerpt from this month's Viking Scientific Journal (VSJ) +++

... While the Eternians seem to be very long lived, our expedition force has found that several rounds of depleted uranium fire will shorten their lifespan quite a bit. We shall investigate further. ...

The Lord Protector wishes to announce that the Hepcat Feudal Empire has met the Space Vikings. The Lord Protector has initiated diplomatic discussion with King Rollo, and hopes that our empires can co-exist peacefully and prosperously.
