Default Re: Maps, theory discussion

"...that's how bad the editor truly is."

Hence the reason for my (somewhat lengthy) post in the editor thread a few pages down.

I started working on a symetrical map that was to be as balanced as a map could be:

All warp points were located at the same position in each system; 3 or 6 planets in each system...1 (or 2) of each planet type; the atmosphere throughout the galaxy was the same (so players would need to take the same atmosphere as each other); all percentages were the same on each planet in a system (some systems were higher, some lower); all planets were the same size; no planets had moons.

But it became a nightmare! In anger, I deleted it.
