Ok, I put my custom maps in the proper place. The maps work. I noticed the GC2 Builder map editor has not auto-updated yet. Will there be an update to permit adding home planets and ships of the new standard races of Dark Avatar? Is there a simple work-around in the mean time? Will asteroid placement also be in the revised editor?
So far so good... back to my current game on an (old) custom map (gigantic, 9 races).
