Lol, this may be more like a map. When you finish, update both, please.

Are the territories only 15? And why it is called Diamond Heart?
Couldn't be Spade Club for example?

In any case some connection lines is needed.

This is not viable, at least until some territories can be assigned neutral by default.

I have a couple of questions and concerns.

How did you manage to add an image as well as keep the original posted image to a locked Post #1? (Psymon has answered this one, I did not know this.)
As the images were posted in the order of progression, why add the latest version at the top of the page (Post #1)?

There is also a Solar System map on the site which uses the albeit strange condensed view of the planets of our Solar System, but is a representation of something recognisable. Please tell us what we are looking at here?

The circular objects look like Planets / Moons (satellites) due to the stars in the background, but they are laid out in a way that they wouldn't normally be seen.
All the Planets seem to be viewed from a star (the light source) as there is no shadow direction. Is this something you plan on adding?
The bonuses are not accurate, the Red Planet would not normally carry any bonus due to it only having 1 territory to control, which is unfairly given to the player randomly dropped on that territory at the start of the game, please see the Map Coding, Region Bonuses and Capitals Positions section of the DXII Guide to Map Making.

It is obvious that you have graphic skills, however, making a playable map for this site requires quite a lot of criteria to be met. Please read the whole DXII Guide to Map Making.

Please also describe your map and what you are aiming for so that discussion and assistance can be given, where applicable.

Also you'll notice that this forum thread has to be scrolled to be read, this is due to your images being embedded directly into the posts. Please read the tutorial of how to add maps to this thread: http://www.dominating12.com/forum/?cmd=topic&id=1995&lastpost=1#post-29849

There are many other issues, one of which is the colours used. There must not be a clash of colour with the player colours in the game.

21 territories can stay. But one territory dividing the map in 2 is a bit weird. Too extreme game-play, it seems too much based on luck. Maybe can be better connecting yellow and green regions as well as blue and purple's.

Also a region formed by 1 territory only cannot stay for the reason explained by aeronautic. Perhaps can be changed like +2 bonus for holding the red planet and all the surrounding planets.

But the map is pretty lacking in representation. Those colored balls can be planets in the space or grabs on the beach or whatever you want... Since why not to make something more similar to a map of a land?

Alright,
I was thinking that on the bigger planets there could be multiple territories. 2 or even 3.

This thread is not being responded to correctly in order to develop the suggested map.

Questions & concerns were asked above and no answers have been given.

I don't believe this is worth pursuing as a D12 game map.
It offers nothing to do with space even though it has a space background.
It has very basic game-play.
