I am in a 64 game with the new map. Access across the map is much improved, well done. I have teamed with a fellow, and we both had the benefit of multiple AI to feast on. Especially my partner. He is about to win at tick 26. I wonder if the victory condition is set too low? Hardly enough time for a proper backstab!
It’s impossible to win at tick 26… Do you mean day 26?
Oh, sorry, cycle 26
Not a huge fan of the new layout. It’s just now exciting enough. I think it’s the fact that everyone’s so isolated. You need more neighbors to have a fun game. Also, the people who are in the same sector are way too close. There’s almost no stars. In one game I only got 7 stars for myself and couldn’t reach the rest. I got frustrated and quit.
To expand on the flaws I listed earlier, all 4 sectors are originally isolated, and as a result, they develop wildly different levels of tech and development. This in turn makes some sectors obviously dominant over others, which is no fun to play.
I think the sectors should be moved closer together, so maybe you just have 16 small sectors that are equally spaced.
yeah, I decided i dont like the desing and were going to try the one in this thread ofter the last grid map starts.
I can’t access the game - has is started already?
You should join the Experimental 64 Player Ultra Game. Jay has switched to using the “xjhdexters-quad_flower” map since 2014 OCT.
New games are starting up all the time.
Are we still having fun on this map type? Time for a change yet?
Please check out some of the 64 player maps created in my mapeditor.

This map editor is cool. !
Any progress on a Toral Map?
I really think you should give a new design a go for a while Jay.
Not only is the current one getting just a tad old, but it is incredibly hard on players in the middle. I speak from experience.
Yep, we have a plan for a new map. I just need some time to load it up and test it. Perhaps later this week?
That’s great, Jay!
Sorry, I got totally swamped last week and this week is not looking super good either.
Any plans for a new map? It’s been almost a year with the same map and it would be interesting to change it up every now and then so that 64p games get more interesting
I’m taking the new game Blight to Pax Australia in three weeks and will be really rushed until then, but once that is out of the way I’m going to spend a little time on NP and I agree, a new map is needed!
Honestly, people have pretty much figured out this map; every game is pretty much the same. There are basically a few snowballing alliances, and towards the end players from each of the alliances form two giant coalitions that fight it out.
Hopefully you’ll have time to work on this soon.
