OMG I think I may be inspired to build a Zentraedi inspired species for this.

Then an Invid after that - so sweet.

Any objections to one of the "gems" being referred to as Protoculture?


(Edit: forgot comments about the map!)

Two things about the map..... I assume that the red is province borders? I'm thinking there don't need to be so many Deep Space provinces, it could make slogging through Deep Space into something that is avoided at all costs, rather than being used to good strategic effect at all times.

Also I don't think it's a good idea to seal up each planet inside of Inner Space territories like that. It will complicate the consolidation and deployment of resources in the system - and simulates a ridiculously ponderous battle for any given system. I mean, maybe ponderous won't seem ridiculous when it comes down to it, just saying first impression is that it detrimental to not have Planet provinces bordering eachother within the system.

Otherwise I like it as a first go at illustrating what a map would look like. Good basic layout, just not sure on the province borders just yet. Maybe I should bust out the old PhotoShop7 and see what I can come up with. If I can just find the disc.....
