Subject: OT: Imperium Map
Hi Guys, I just got the Traveller Reprint, The Classic Games. In it, they have pictures of two experimental add on maps for the Twilight expansion which was never published for the old GDW game Imperium. The early map is the same size as the Imperium map. The latter map is the size of four Imperium maps, because the early experiment "did not fully reflect the size of the Imperium"... The Imperium map can connects to either of the expansions. I was close to completing a top down 2-d version of the Imperium 3rd Millennium map, but I'm modifying it so it will fit better with the expansions... When I do the expansions, I'm going to have to "interpret" what some of the marks mean, and slightly modify the maps to fit my 24x36 hex grid. The expansions were done on a 23x36 hex grid. I use four 12x18 hex sectors for each map. I was planing on 3rd Millennium"ing" the maps by adding an outpost to all systems that contain a world. When I finish them, I will e-mail the list. Each map will be in high color, saved in PDF format, and printable on four 11"x 17" sheets of paper. Sometime next year I hope to do a high color version of the Dark Nebula maps I did a year or two ago. Any comments and/or ideas? Does anyone have more information about the Twilight expansion that was never done?
