AWESOME WORK DEVS!!!,GREAT GAME, AI GETTING BETTER, MAP EDITING QUESTION

starting positions

from GalCiv2 Forums
Great game, however one request. Starting positions need to be more equidistant. Not perfect mind you, but it is a little too random. Especially since I like blind exploration. Anyway to change these starting position to be more fair? I guess it is too minor an issue since I've posted about this before. Oh well, and devs keep it up, ai is getting tougher (make em protect those transports and build bigger fleets, I'm almost at suicdal with lastest beta. I easily beat suicidal out of the box, but currently on obscene, making me think more. By the way it's one of the most stable games I'vre played. Very few crashes,much playing time involved. And I play on Giagantic maps only. Awesome work!!! Thanks

I don't post on this or any other boards, but I am tired of starting and restartig the game trying to get an even distribution of starting positions. What can be done about this??

Well for starters we shouldn't have to use Ctrl-N. To top it off, you may end up with another random galaxy equally bad (or worse! ). If you metaverse game, rather than just do another map like it used to. It now forces you back to logging in/picking a race and going thru all that hassle/pain each time.

In the modding forum I asked for map scripts, basically on the premise that if Stardock didn't want to invest much time on it, let a modder do it. (Look at Civ 4 and its map scripts. )
