Re: One-way WP\'s in the map editor?
One other possibility to play a real difficult game:
Give your race their home in a system with one-way warp points only leading into the system but not out! You will not be able to expand beyond your system till you researched warp-point manipulation, but all the aliens can visit your home.

And once the aliens are there, they'll have to stay a while... better hope they like making treaties...

Re: One-way WP\'s in the map editor?
Speaking of one-way WP's, I haven't seen many lately with the current patches. I used to see them all the time (when SE4 was 1.01 or something); now they are quite rare.
Does anyone know offhand if the frequency of them has been changed or am I just playing far fewer games? Also, maybe someone can clue me in on where to mod to increase the frequency - it makes for more interesting strategies....

Re: One-way WP\'s in the map editor?
Actually I think the 1-way WP that appear in the game (yes I had one in V1.3) are due to an error when the event "warp point closes" happens. I think that only 1 WP closes, as as we now know from the editior... a WP is actually 2 Warp points.

Re: One-way WP\'s in the map editor?
I just discovered that the map editor disconnects only one side when you delete a warp point. I searched out this old thread. VERY interesting for editing maps. I will definitely have a moderate number of one ways added into the map. Perhaps there will be one in every system. Actually I can not add very many anyway since most systems already have six plus warp points in them....

Re: One-way WP\'s in the map editor?
Any system can have up to 10 warppoints created during the game by SM.
You can have as many WPs as you want if you create them using the map editor. Just like you can have as many stars in a system as you want.
