Scale of Map compared

[Figment]

It's more like 8-10%, but yes, agree with Malorn it's not as big as some make it seem. I'm still suspecting it to be approximately Ishundar or Cyssor size, just more densily populated and considering they increase the playable area, that'd be fine.

If only those sanctuaries were possible to turn into neutral Warpgates. The feasibly attackable area (that doesn't default to an empire) will be even smaller than Malorn suggests.

I'd say 33-50% of the map is really contestable with even pops. I wish it was possible to kick empires off, but yeah.
