Kiop maps

Once The Dad quit the game Kiop took up the task of making maps. Using the tools that Dad had made and with the goal of a more detailed map of the most important players Kiop included the top 1,000 players in relation to star count. These maps are detailed and do a effectively distinguish between empire but it does not give the name of empires. This map was not meant to have much strategic use but it gives a good picture of the current population of the game.

The map above is good for getting a broad view of the map but it is not as useful to individual players that only have influence in a small portion of the map. To compensate for this the top 1000 player map was split into 4 quadrants based on the x and y axis to increase the level of detail for each individual player use. A player can look at their home-star to figure out where they are on the map but interestingly the y-axis is inverted making things slightly more difficult. This table below describes how players can use their x and y coordinates to find out where they are on the map.
