one of the connections on the stellar dendrite bonus is not connecting, i think it's sd_h2 or something like that

This is a very fun map to play because of all the different ways you can expand and it also has a nice visual effect .. once your eyes adjust to it. Because this map is so expansive, an airlift card or at least a connection from east to west would be nice. Getting a gold star is completely impossible because you can't cover the entire board in 21 turns, and you pretty much HAVE to with the starting points being so far apart every time. You usually can't even FIND the AI's until turn 12 or so, let alone be able to kill them off. So for the map itself, I'd give it a 3.5 stars, but since I'm convinced the gold is not possible, overall I'd give it a 2 star rating. I don't know if the map makers or Warlight itself makes the criteria for the gold star, but whoever does it needs to re-evalute a lot of these maps because I've found at least 5 so far where it is impossible to get the gold and that is just for the maps that you CAN actually win (which some of them you can't, especially some of the boss ones)

Nice map

Incredibly creative and interesting map. I give it 4 stars only because it can hurt your head.

Note the broken connection between SD_2a and SD_2h in the upper-right hand arm of the Stellar Dendrite.

The link between:
SD_2a
-- and --
SD_2h
is missing

Some connections are missing. Map is hard to navigate and it takes way too long to get a first bonus.

I rate this map lowly because too much depends on the random starting positions. If you're spread out across the map, you get almost no benefit from having three territories, but if you start close, you can get a bonus relatively quickly, and rapidly out-produce the competition. Maybe that was the intent of the designer, but I don't much enjoy games where I might randomly find myself in a situation where I simply can't catch up.

3.8

Very interesting layout, makes bonuses a huge deal and allows the tides to turn with any move.

Nice map

beautiful

meh

Too hard to move across

Aggressive

Ingenious - no two snowflakes are the same, keeps it interesting

SD2a and SD2h should be connected.

fun to play, but some connections are missing (SD_2a - SD_2h , for example)

With better settings this map would be enjoyable but due to the size, neutral territories requiring a 5 attack, and number of enemy AI at start you cant star with anything other than luck. Requiring luck to star is pure lazy and low IQ.

Very good map, pacing was good. Only thing I would suggest to make this better would be troop transport cards.

Really fun map and pretty, too!

To get the gold star you have to be so incredibly lucky. it isn't a fun map w.r.t. that challenge.

It's a nice board to look at, but playing it is realllllly boring. It's too spread out which makes it take forever to build up your armies and/or to find the enemy. It would probably be fine for a multi-player game, but I only play single-player games on the chain and this is probably possible to get a gold star on, but it would take more time than I have right now. I'll re-visit this when I'm retired and have nothing better to do lol.

Easy; tedious.

Good

Good map

Great map. Great idea

Boring map
