Well, is there an updated Version of the map editor I don't have? Tesco's maps show yellow but the map I saved from the game I created for you guys didn't show any at all. So, I added a "specific" starting point (not a common one 'cause I wasn't sure what that meant...there is no help for the program). And when I did it, it didn't show yellow.

Any assistance apprieciated.

The map you created didn't have any starting positions defined, so none of the systems showed as yellow. After you added them, if you had gone back and looked you would have seen yellow circles.

Specific starting points are numbered. Player 1 will start in position 1, player 2 will start at point 2, etc. Common starting points only show as "any". Meaning somebody will start there, but it could be anybody.

You can mix and match. For example, give player 3 a specific starting point, but everybody else be common ones, or give them no starting point at all, and teh game will place them.

If you have more starting points (common or specific) then the excess will not be used.

If you have more players then starting points, then the leftover players will be placed randomly.
