MAPS: Star Series for PTW/C3C

[Caliban]

Hey, I'm just a stupid little German, but I don't get the idea behind these maps... I gotta admit they're pretty good, but why do you name them after stars?

[Quasar1011]

It's just my way of keeping track of names. The idea is, if there were a planet orbiting Vega, that was capable of humanoid life, then the planet would be named Vega, just for clarity. If I used this for Earth, I'd have to call our home planet "Sol". I've been naming all my scenarios after stars since Civ2, figuring I'd never run out of star names!

Alphertz

"Al" means "the" in Arabic, which is why so many star names start with A-L... Here is Alphertz:
