Hmmm, how does Homer go? "DOH!"

The idea was to place the teams on each side as I described below. I would surely hate random placement put me "inside" of 3 enemy empires...

Since we can't seem to find a volunteer (I really thought Tesco might offer), how about if I ask Gryphin?

I haven't been following the thread closely. Can you summarize what sort of criteria you'd need for the map? I might be able to do it if it's a simple random map with specified placment.

That's pretty much it, Geo...a large random map (not sure which would be the best kind) with specified placement. Pretty much like the "Challenge" game we played in over a year ago. If you browse down a page or two, you can see what I had in mind (please excuse the silly way of showing the system...it was cheap and easy).

Thanks for taking a look

Your chart makes it look like you want a grid map, is that correct or am I reading that too literally?

Hehe, what about that spehere map I made? I think Asmala and Bbegemott used it in a game once. I could put each team of four together in a quad of four systems, and space the quads a good way apart. Eh, probably too radical...

I'll let others decide if a grid map is too radical but I think it is.

Actually, the map looks the way it is due to the confines of doing it with characters

I would think a large Galactic Edge or Spiral Arm (generating over and over till it had lots of planets and looked like it sported good placement for 2 teams of 4) would be fine.

Thanks bunches, Geo. I know you've been busy with school and all.
