Starting Location algorithm

August 1, 2006 4:18:57 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Is there a waqy to tweak this?

on large maps, or smaller, there's always at least 1 empire stuck behind some one else. I've also seen an empire stuck in the corner, bc there wasn't a single star with habitable planets within starting range for a colony ship.

meanwhile, there will be lots of open space with planets off to one side, and it's a race between the two empires that are closest to it to see who fills it first.

can the starting locations get tweaked a bit to prevent the above?

Don't know about modding the game, but if you get a galactic layout you don't like, use CTRL-N to restart the game until you get a game you feel like playing.

or use the galciv builder (stickied at the top) to create your own, like planet quality and where exactly each star is, then play it as a custom map.

Or you could increase the habitable planets quantity, number of stars and set them to close and not loose or scattered in the pre-game screen.
