Best practices for PBW Game Hosts?

If you take the Ancient Race trait, all knowledge of the map is given, so you have nothing to worry about cheating.

Yea ancient race is the cost of such knowledge.

Or make the map available for download so all can see it.

or use the setting where everyone has a view.

Or send this custom map to someone.

ANd say. Make me something like this.

That way you do not know.

Avoid kicking yourself by accident. That is bad.

*Remember to put in the Administrator PW and that it matches PBW.

Simple solution to your problem. Send the map to someone else and have them change the starting points.

Be sure to let them know what mod you used to create and edit the map so they can avoid errors.

Generate a new random map or ask another forum member to create 1 and use that instead. Id like to see a extra large map programmed into v 1.85

You can get really big maps by increasing the max systems setting in Settings.txt in the Data folder. You can increase it up to 255 systems. That is definitely bigger than "extra large."

Thanks for that - id still like to see say 0-25 systems for small, 26-50 for medium, 51-100 for large, 100-150 for extra large, 151-200 for huge and then for massive 201-255 systems as default options to be automatic within the game - like to see many expansions within the v 1.85 patch.
