Telepathy is a bullshit idea, for one. This isn't Star Wars. So, "telepathic WMDs " makes no sense.
Second, you are way overestimating technological leaps. Human civilization and technology is incredibly advanced in the CGU, sure; but it's not to some unrealistic or impossible level. You can't break the laws of physics, you know.

I can. I once froze vodka
I really like your CGU series, but there's a couple of things - based on current knowledge of our galaxy, the outer rim would actually have almost no habitable worlds, due to a lack of oxygen, silicon and iron that far out. So, really, the empires should be reaching in towards the core.
Also, FTL travel is a little more impossible than dyson spheres - but then, the TL wouldn't work without FTL, so that's hardly an issue. I think an interesting FH TL would concern the colonization of our solar system, using vessels that can get up to ~10% of light speed...
Telepathy is feasible. Sufficiently advanced technology, yada yada yada. Put a chip into your head that can stimulate thoughts at will, tune it to a certain frequency, and you can suddenly simulate PSYCHIC POWERZ!!!
On a similar note, you could implant a receiver chip into the WMD that would respond to your thoughts by steering it or what-have-you. Which would technically be a telepathic WMD.
I don't think this sort of technology is all that far off - within the next thousand years or so, I'm predicting. Certainly not the complete bollocks you're assuming it to be.
No Comment... Spitfiremk1 sad
Well I think I commented on your first map in the thread with regards to the Belgian Congo and French Guiana.
For this last map, it looks good, but what happened to Libya? And the French colonies?
Which borders are you reffering to. Remember, this is only suposed to show the Germna Empire.
Realistic. With faster than light travel. And a human-dominated galaxy-spanning empire by the year 3000?
Dyson spheres, halos, and O'Neil cylinders seem more realistic at this point.

But how about the rest of the world? Germany just looks so alone without any other nation.
Just found these postive comments
Sadly, this was just a side Project, done to keep my Imagination and my Map Making Skills up to scratch. However, i have been meanign to do a WW2 TL for ages, so this could easly go onto to to do list.
