A collection of items suggested by both the denizens of boardgamegeek.com and myself that have been posted on the forums. The suggested changes are intended to alleviate some of the current problems with the game, and to make it a more enjoyable experience overall. The 28-Jul-2011 version includes several updates, including some terminology fixes, official errata (that replaced some of the suggested changes in the previous version), clarifications from Jeffrey Bass, some additional minor errata, and notes on why these suggestions were made.

This is an improved version of my "realistic" game map for Sword and the Stars. The Systems are set within the arms of a spiral galaxy and the color identification of the different system Ideologies is better differentiated than the earlier version.

Print and use these Excel tables to save wear and tear on your Year Cards. To strictly duplicate the dealing out of Year Cards, you would have to note each result on the table so you don't reroll it in subsequent plays during the same round. Personally, I ignore this issue and simply roll for each Operation and live with the possibility of rolling a duplicate result. The effect on gameplay due to the difference in statistical outcomes is minimal.

This version of the game map places the planetary Systems against the arms of a spiral galaxy. All of the information and spatial relationship of the Systems is intact.
