Galaxy Size - BM1.13, how many planets in each size, & other questions.

Submitted by Hexxon on Wed, 2008-02-06 14:16. Space Empires V FAQs

Hi there, fairly new to the game and was about to set up a multi player game.

I'm using 1.66 with BM 1.13 mod, using PBW.cc

How many star systems are in each setting with that configuration? I can't seem to find a document anywhere that specifies.

Any settings I should turn off because of bugs that would cause crashes? I have the following settings:

5 human players
max # computer AI
No Neutral AIs
biggest galaxy
Low Racial pts (2000)
low starting tech (50000)
Highest AI levels
Low AI starting bonus

This will be all the players first time through the game, but most are M002 vets.

Thanks for your help!

The number of systems for each system can be found in gameTypes/ BM 110/ Data/ settings.txt.
For a large galaxy, it would be between 60 - 150 systems. You will also have between 8 - 13 AI players.
Personally I wouldn't start with Ai players in Multiplayer games, for you end up sending long RP massages to players who will not understand a word, but that is of course up to you. I don't think that there are settings which cause crashes. However, if you plan to enable all team mode (all AI at war with all human(, you maybee want to disable intelligence.

Thanks Blubel,

We are not playing all team mode. I read in a couple of places now to disable intelligence... does it cause problem using 1.66/bm1.13? One of the players are *really* keen on using sabotage against other players just because he gets the giggles for that sorts of thing....

We know who upfront are the players and therefore can figure out which are the AI, so we won't be attaching long RP massages.
