Nirur Torir, I think your numbering system is a bit off. You have one letter for each "layer", correct? There are thirteen layers, but only ten letters. On Siren, there are only twelve letters, for sixteen layers. And if you have a letter for every other layer, then that's weird too, because you would have either six or seven letters on Krigg, but instead you have ten.

Yea, what I was trying to do was to count each row in a straight line, which worked right up until E, where it shifted off. I ended up with L being N. Krigg has a similar problem from that point of view

I have made a correct map for Siren. Here it is.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Here is one, but it is more helpful. It shows you the rows. It's not for use in-game, because the letters are on top of the tiles and would mess up the pictures. It's for looking at.

Nirur, if you are satisfied with this and it is correct and all, I can make another one for Krigg.

Yea thats definetly more helpful, thanks Cheddarius. The top one actually works as well as the bottom one for me, just saying.

@Nirur: I fixed my post on the previous page to match the location on Cheddarius's fixed map.

I messed up badly, as I was rushing. The map Cheddarius made is correct. Krigg goes to M.

I'll fix the maps soon. I have replaced the map with Cheddarius' fix, and then added in a high-quality patch to Krigg, which you would never know was done in MSPaint. Thanks for the offer of help, but I should fix my mistakes on my own or I'll never learn. Plus, I save the main files as .xcf for the layers.

If you want I can make a guide that shows letter and number for every hex. It doesn't need to be in XCF, because you're not going to manipulate it - it's just going to be the final image. So on one hex it'll say C5, etc. That way, there's almost no chance of anyone being confused.

That would be helpful for the first post.

Here is Siren. I will work on Krigg later. Can you check it to make sure it's correct and all?

And Krigg.


Note that some of them are hard to see, but it should be quite easy to figure it out using the adjacent hexes.

Neat. Although according to those reference maps, the spot that Alfie chose is invalid because F7 doesn't exist, however I think he was trying to go for G7 which is what appeared to be F7 to me before Cheddarius fixed it up and he was clearly trying to go for a spot with three mountains in the city resource zone. Criptfeinds choice of location is still valid though.

So, one more player for each planet, by my count.
