Default New Mod: Larger Map

This is a single file mod. It will increase the map size of each of your "small", "medium" and "large" maps proportionally. To install:

1. Look inside the "gamedata" folder of the mod you want to change.
2. Make a copy of any existing "distribution.ini" file there.
3. Copy the "distribution.ini" mod file into the "gamedata" folder.
4. Play.


The new "large" map will have 64 stars, 5 events, 6 enemy races, 20 fleets, and 40 years to completion. It won't change any other aspects of the mods however.

Be warned - the "large" map might punish your processor, so make sure you don't have any other applications running and you have a fast machine.

I've tested it with the Battlestar, SuperPirate, and Star Destroyer mods and it worked fine - but it caused the "Added Content" mod to crash.

To uninstall, just delete the "distribution.ini" file that you copied, and the mod in question will go back to using the default.
