Is it intentional for 192 & 215 to start with no independent army?

Edit: Hmm, maybe they didn't. I see Mictlan started near there and then vanished perhaps due to dominion evaporation.

Hmm lovely map. Not played yet though.. is it balanced enough for a MP game?

Fixed the neighbor between 417&398. Double checked 192 & 215 and they are fine. As for being balanced for Multi Player I highly doubt it. For true multi player balance I would have to remove all specific starts that are located on the outer worlds since whoever controlled the sub worlds would have a massive amount of gems. Those who start closest to the sub worlds would have the advantage. I am also not sure how the Fleets would affect balance either since whoever controlled the fleets would wield a tremendous advantage in mobility. The best bet would be to make an alternate Latus.map file that would be geared toward multi player. Suggestions for possible multi player balances would be welcome.

WinRAR has a version for the Mac as well.
I have no idea if this is the best choice, but I bet there are other utilities available for the Mac as well.
