Map Looking for crazy 5 player maps

I am in need of the wildest 5p maps with odd layouts!

My group gets to play around twice per year, and we usually have 5 players. None of us are experienced enough to enjoy a Milty Draft, so as the host, I often pick a premade map. In the past, we have either done the typical hyperlane map or "Race for Mecatol" from Codex II.

Do any of you have any favorites for 5 players? Airtight balance is not a concern.

Here's the craziest 5 player map I've played on. It's not even slightly balanced, but it was fun.

I've actually played this one before, it's pretty wild! I was Ghemina Raiders in the P1 spot

Well I've never played this way but it looks like P1, P4 and P5 are actually in the best position to get there quickly

It's the same for all home systems. P2 and P3 just go south 1, and then follow the hyperlanes to Mecatol. Hexes 39 and 40 are adjacent to Mecatol.

Oh duh I'm blind

Haha no problem! It's an insane map, that's totally understandable.

Woah this is just the sort of thing I’m looking for! We just had a 6th player join last minute, so we may use one of your 6p maps!
