Default Re: NeGoC5 - Stories

Hi all.

Bad news.


I've checked and must admit to having made a mistake when creating the map in NeGoC5. I was using the FQM mod but propably used the classic Mid-Life quadrant instead of the Standard Mid-life Quadrant. This means that the map generated with the standard game data files instead of the FQM data files. The game will not restart though as I won't edit another map.

What does this mean:
Fewer planets, currently 2223 planets in the map. Of which few are moons and more of those moons have none as atmosphere. Fewer asteroids, currently approximately 600+ The same amount of systems 255.

An comparision to a standard FQM map with 236 systems reveals that it has 2408 planets of wich many more are moons with varied atmosphere. Uncountably more asteroids! Most regular star systems have an asteroid ring in it.


So the sum is approximately the same amount of planets (propably 10% less) with the same variety of atmospheres, as there are fewer moons the none atmosphere of those doesn't seem to play any factor, but, alot less asteroids.

If anyone wishes to quit the game due to false marketing I'll be sad but I'll understand. I hope you decide to continue anyway, as I still belive the map will make it possible for minors to compete with ancients way before turn 120, ofcourse depending upon the way ancients and minors play their games.

Sorry all.
(You where right Roanon)
