Please welcome Spoon to the Ratings! After he has shown some prowess, he decided to give it a go.

One large starting planet
small spiral quadrant, random map using balance mod. (I'd like to give it a try)
no ancient, no intel, no mines, no ruins

All else default.

Sounds good?

Game up...waiting for "descriptive text" and empires. Good luck to both!

And may I say, the Balance mod by Geo is worth a try...but if you live for more of the chance of exploring and get what you get, I can manage a bit of empire placement (without any system adjustments...just moving each starting position so there are no unfair starts withing 1-2 systems away).

LOL...cross posted with ya, Geo.

If you guys are interested...I can do the Balance mod and adjust starting positions. Just so you know (as others have who have had my "adjustments"), I do NOT place the empires as far away from each other as possible. What I do DO is give them what I think is adequate room. How much room is best to be left undisclosed, IMHO, because I don't want the players to "know" they have the whole map to expand in without trouble. This, in my opinion, still leaves a bit of guessing on just how far away the opponent is and just how much expanding can be done safely.

Just let me know.

Settings are fine. Is the balance mod like FQM or do I need to download something?

It's a mod Geo developed to help balance the game. And it does a good job! I downloaded to take a look...curiosity, ya know. But it does NOT require the players to have it...they just play on it.
