Ragnarok, could you post (or email) a link to the new map? Thanks.

By the way, I haven't seen the new map (except the systems I started in). I am unaware if any other RTH player has seen it, so would it not give Spoo advantage over other races? Also because ancient trait is Banned in our game. If I am mistaken, I apologise.

Since all systems are more or less alike and most of the the warppoints will be moved in a few turns, there is really not much use in seeing the map at all

Then why was ancient Banned?

it would also take away from the fun of opening a warp point to an emtpy transit system... instead of someones home system. Only the game admin knows the final lay out of these... If he studied the map very well... There is an old copy of the map back a few pages in this thread... But it will ruin your game...

You're right, the admin (me) could easily learn the layout of the map if I study it and everything. But I assure you, I will not do such a thing to compremise the integrity of this game. BUt as Tesco said, there is an older Version of the map early in this thread. Only things change is the bottom left cluster is not there and some empty systems have been removed.

Ancient can see the new warppoints, ringworlds and converted atmospheres gaining valuable intel on the state of the game.

Also the Ancient player would be able to do the open/warp/attack/close move in one turn.

Okay, I didin't know that ancient race has knowledge of changed waarp points, etc. changing information after game starts.

btw. You don't have to be ancient to open/warp/attack in the same turn. I have done it and all you need is to know the locations of planets in system you are attacking. This knowledge you usually get before you attack. Except in this game because ancient was Banned but on the other hand, the map is reachable for everyone.

Yeah, I will do that this evening when I get home. I thought I had a copy of the map at work but I do not.
