[quote=Freeshooter92] Welp, I said huge, and FUCKHUEG is what I went for.The large blue sphere with the hazard line box is earth.Blue circles are 'Populi' worlds, planets that were 'glassed' from orbit to clear indigenous life to make way for enormous hab-complexes to stash lots and lots of people. The Terrans get most of their recruits from these worlds.Green circles are 'Agri' worlds, worlds designed entirely for farming, so that they may provide the fucktons of food this empire requires.Black and dark yellow boxes are mining worlds, ones that 'core' various rocks out for valuable materials, and double as industrial centers. Many worlds in many systems have been utterly destroyed, and many of these are actually in asteroid fields. Almost all imperial systems have some sort of industrial/mining operation, but the marked ones are the extremely important ones.While enormous, the Terran empire is spread extremely thin, and can only bring but fraction of its might to bear upon any foe, thus their original plan of rapid expansion has slowed down and is now focused almost entirely on securing current lands. Most of their armed forces are also currently employed on the internal zones as 'peacekeepers.' [/quote] The Imperium of Man is far too large of a faction for the scale of this roleplay. Advanced Interstellar should be no more than two dozen systems, give or take. [quote=A-Traveller][b]Advanced Interstellar[/b] Interstellar travel has become significantly cheaper, safer, and easier. [i]Advanced Interstellar[/i] factions have many extrasolar colonies across around a dozen or more star systems, and new infrastructure is being built all the time. While they are fairly advanced, they are still mortals and lower ranked factions can still pose a threat to them, though they will be at a significant disadvantage.[/quote] --- [quote=Xaxl] It strikes me that theoretically the IoM territory could be a bit more acceptable if everyone else boosted how much territory *they* cover. Having a more cramped map where people actually share borders might be more interesting than all being isolated with lots of empty space; I just didn't want to make myself too big when I claimed my territory and I suspect I might have set the bar for what was "reasonable". [/quote] The size of the area you, Sigma, and Isotope took up was good for your respective holdings. Everyone else seems to have crammed their holdings together for a star every lightyear, if not more frequently. I may have to ask everyone with highly dense factions to spread out, and move closer to the center of the map. --- Reviewing completed nation sheets.
