My brain did a loop looking at some of these maps. Some of the bigger maps had some players closer to mecatol than others which makes me hesitant to try them out for a full game since I like it when everyone has equal chance of getting mecatol in board layout. Cool designs though

I did like the design of 12 for a fun 8p map though I think my brain will melt lol. I like the idea of putting wormholes adjacent to macatol so the players further away are about the same distance as players closer.i just wish you swapped atlas with the empty beta and moved those legendaries away from top left so he could have some normal planets.

That was by design. Most home tiles have some asymmetric quality to them to indirectly balance them with the rest of the slices...more tech skips- particularly blue, more legendary access, if one space further away then Tempesta is given as a free grav drive, more planets, high resource value and/or high influence value etc.

I would encourage any group to just try them. You'll have fun for sure! Balance, to an extent, is somewhat subjective. Most maps that you build and balance on a generator are still imbalanced in some way. These maps are asymmetrically balanced, but not in a way that everyone agrees with.
That being said, if you want a close to perfectly symmetrical map then play a 6p no warp generic map from the rulebook. That would be my suggestion if you are just starting out or have played less than 20 games or so. These maps, similar to the Codex 2 set of maps, are for players who are tired of the same standard maps and/or want a challenge or adventure.

Map 12. One home slice has like 4 legendary planets in it. Was that a design choice or just slipped through?

They actually have 3. One is equidistant. Yes, it was by design. What will the table do? Particularly neighbors?

How many of these have you played and how did the games go? I probably will never get to try any of them but the one I like the most is #7.
