No, but I also suggest no more than three per planet, and no more than six provs per solar system.

I agree, but with certain exceptions. We may wish, for example, to give Earth's system a few more, depending on the specifics of the Scenario.
 
I believe that 2 or 3 provinces per planet would be good
I also agree we should give Earth an advantage in provinces because the lack of advance technology
But i do not think that even with one province per planet we will be able to recreate the entire galaxy.

Is there any possibility to make terra ignonita, provinces?
 
Hey, I thought this thread was dead..

I agree. Only having one-province planets wouldn't be that good..

What do you mean by Terra incognita ? permanent or just that a country doesn't know the province ? Both can be done.

Am I understanding you correctly that you ask if it is possible to turn the Terra Incognita on the original map into provinces on the new map? If so, then yes, it is possible.

Ok, but even if we make the permanent Terra Incognita provinces, again
there are not enough provinces to recreate the entire galaxy.
Should we consider making only one part of the galaxy?

You don't think 2200 provinces will be adequate to create a whole galaxy? :confused:

Well not if we are going to have every single star system in the milky way, that would be 1,000,000,000,000 stars. But anyway, we don't need every one, that would also mess with the scale of the map.
 
We can limit the number of stars if we rely on astronomical data.
Only G - Stars can have hospitable planentary systems
Our Sun is a G-Star.
Only 3% of our galaxy's stars are G-Stars
Also more than half of these stars is in double systems or triple systems in such a way that the gravity of the stars does not permitted even the formation of a planentary system.
So the number of hospitable systems is so limited that the map at EUII can recreate them successfully.
 
:p

This is not supposed to be scientific here, galactic domination is a better goal. :p

The max provs is 2020 (I believe) and that makes 2021 with the PTI, but PTI will be used for the center of the galaxy which is untransversable and the edge of the map which will be the limit of the game...
 
How is Earth going to start off? Only controlling Terra with colonies on the other Sol System planets?

First scenario, the 'Grand Campaign', should start soon after Earth's First Contact. Earth gets the lowest-level tech for hyperspace/interstellar travel, and is near or at the bottom in all other techs.

Is there any way to give the Terrans a research boost? Not so much that they surpass everyone within 50 years, but that is a longstanding scifi device.
 
I believe Earth should begin with just have contact, not colonies in, a different part of the map. If I might throw something out, is it possible for whoever makes the map to remember which provinces go where? That will be helpful later I think. ;)

The easiest way I see of doing it is to have already established interstellar empires be in the orthodox techgroup or lower, and have the Humans and any other people we want catapulting ahead to be in the latin group.

I agree that we should probably begin the Grand Capaign on Earth's First Contact. The Human Player should probably also get the option about whether Earth should be some sort of republic or Empire (such that Earth will develop accordingly, with a bleeding-heart galactic federation or a huge military empire based on conquest ;)), or that we should have a multi-province earth and have both start at the same time.
 
We can also make Earth advance faster in technology by giving it a different "religion" and modifying the technology speed advandate of it.
