Cool! Sure I want to use it for patch4l. Go ahead and post it.
...I'd like to see the MoO dating system instead of months and years. It would certainly be more authentic!

BTW (just thought of this playtesting them), I don't suppose you know of a way to give the Elerians a map-reveal-ability?
<bMapVisible>1</bMapVisible>
<iCost>-1</iCost>
<iAdvancedStartCost>-1</iAdvancedStartCost>
<bTrade>0</bTrade>
Thanks again. Actually, that's an intesting scenario idea: it might also be useful in order to try and include the Antarans (currently barbs/pirates), who're supposed to be accessible through Dimensional Portals only. (That would require quite a small map portion only, to fit the Antares star system.) So, by all means, go ahead!
You'd need to make the nebula thick enough to maintain fog-of-war around the Antaran dimension.
