Default [mod - map] please test ..

Could you please test the following settings in the "QuadrantTypes.txt" :

Max Warp Points per Sys := 9
Min Angle Between WP := 40

I found this gives more interesting maps:

- less chessboard-like
- more "sneaking around" possible

What do you think about it?

Yours,
Arralen

I'll give it a try when I start my next game. Unfortunately that probably won't be until next week or possibly next weekend. (big Operating Systems project due for class this weekend)

Arralen I tried this and yes it made for a much more complex map. The systems were much more intertwined and it was much harder to fend off multiple empires.

BTY Arralen, have you voted for the civil war idea yet. We'd really appreciate your feedback and opinion on the feature

Thanks for your time.
