Attached is the Inner Sphere in 3085.

Awesome. You're a king among giants, sir.
-
I thought that was a giant among kings ???
-
Now this is superb!
Well done Blacknova!
Ciao

Nice one, thanks mate.
-
Thats OK, next is 3140 and then the one that you all wnat to see, the one with the Wolf Empore et al, but I can't remember who wanted that one and what the exact year was.
-
That would be me. 3140 is an interesting choice, rather than 3130. 3144 would cover the end of Bonfire of Worlds.

I really want to see the state of the Lyran Commonwealth after Bonfire of Worlds and what former Republican space looks like.

hey GJ BN! you skipped 3081? I'm interested in seeing 3140 too, I don't have any faction data beyond 3130. I havent put in 3139 data since it covers mostly the FWL and I have very little on the other factions.
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed now... typo on "Filtvely" Coalition
You can also make 2750 and 2765 (once the moratorium period is over?) though honestly there's absolutely no change between the two maps.
-
Good luck on any maps post 3130, BN. It's brutal to find info on things, as it is scattered to hell and beyond all over various books. Additionally, I no longer have my DA novels to even help with reference material. (Oh, long term unemployment, you are fantastic at making me sell things.) It's a lot of guesswork on my part.
-
I have the DA novels (and they're unpacked!) It might be a little help, but I'll take some pics of their maps.

Someone posted a very rough map of the IS after Bonfire, if someone can email it to me, I'll use it as a base. Owninga history/archaological company, digging through maps satisfies me on a deep and sad level.

I skipped 3081 as it was more of an interim stage in the Republics birth. I skipped 3058 as well. Each map takes a day or three, depending on how belligerent little Harry is, so some maps won't make the cut.
Sorry, the next one IS 3130, not 3140, my bad there.
I'll likely just make a 2750 map if there are no differences.

I cry just thinking about it.
-
You should cry.
While the LC's advance into the former FWL kinda (a real weak kinda) should give you some lingering hope...nope. Scratch that.
Time to find a warmer capital. I hear Bolan's nice this time of year.
Something about the lingering warmth of radioactivity...
So you're thinking 3130, not 40 then? Ok. I'll still send ya the novel map images if you like.
-
I was excited by the worlds taken from the Mariks, but now I weep for the sundered Commonwealth.
-
If it helps any BN, the list I made of faction ownership changes for 3144 is here. (http://ourbattletech.com/forum/parallel-universes/post-lapsum-(au-idea-in-progress)/msg20740/#msg20740)
The fan made overly for 3144, that I based my work from, can be found here. (http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,15607.msg362722.html#msg362722)
Oystein has a 3140 Invasion wave map here. (http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,15607.msg360110.html#msg360110)
Hopefully those help.
-
Thanks, they will do nicely.
-
Searchable map attached.
-
One minor note I'd make, based on the data in ISP3; in the Chainelane Isles, only the worlds of the Chaine Cluster are directly controlled by the Shark/Foxes as of 3085. The other systems of the Isles are still at least nominally independent, though the Shark/Foxes are not short of interest in them.
-
Good, point, I'll have to redefine that.
-
If it helps, ISP3 notes that the Shark/Fox campaign to conquer the Chaine Cluster, Operation SWEEP, started in 3066 and took another five years to complete. (That should hold through at least 3095; we'll probably have to wait until the Dark Age sourcebooks get published to find out what state of ownership the rest of the Isles will be under by that time.)
ISP3 also notes which of the various micro-factions are on which worlds by 3084, if you really wanted to go there. (Not that I would ask you to go to quite such lengths, mind you...)
-
I might leave of the minor factions, make the cluster DS and the other CI worlds as a striped DS influenced area.
-
Sounds good.
-
Some notes:
-The "Ghost Bear Dominion" did become "Rasalhague Dominion" in 3103 not before.
-Shading of "Irece Prefecture" & "Mosiro Archipelago" isn't visible in the State Key.
-Is the "Malagrotta Cooperative" still alive at this time? Map doesn't show it at all.
-I suggest putting the shaded areas of the FWL zone behind the areas that use the base color in the State Key, for example put the "Duchy of Graham-Marik" behind the "Marik Commonwealth" makes it much easier to find them on map.
-"Circinus Federation" destroyed in the Jihad
-
I'll keep those in mind once I go back through them all.
Once HB: Kurita is out, I plan to go right through the lot again, from pre-Reunification war up to 3145.
