Lets set this to abundant - in this medium galaxy there have to be some nice planets. The most important thing: How many planets are surrounding the stars in the galaxy - and we can colonize them. These planets are mostly very good, but as a starting player u shouldnt move that options too high. These are the planets u cant civilize from the start on, u need lots of tech and game time to settle there. How many planets should surround the stars? Habitable or not. On our medium galaxy we set this to common to have lots of stars, but also a bit space between them. The more u set, the more things are in your galaxy. How many stars the galaxy should get? Stars are surround by planets, resources and asteroids.

But also there are no stars too near each other - a fair system. Scattered: The stars are everywhere in the galaxy, without a system. Tight clusters: the stars are bundled in bigger, often connected spots on the galaxy, there are some big empty spots around. Loose clusters: the stars are bundled in some spots on the galaxy, between those bundles is empty space.

Spiral: the stars are set in a clockwise spiral, in the middle of the galaxy are most and on the side less stars. Just start with Scattered and try the others later if u like. On the other button we can select, how the stars in the galaxy are sorted. The game suggest 6 players for a medium map. Thats my proposal for the first game, i write the proposal to every option. Do u want to get big empires, go larger.įor your first try set to medium. So u have to decide: Do i want to get fast action, select a smaller map. The bigger the map gets, the more players need to be filled in, cause otherwise its empty, boring and too easy. But there is much to consider: A small map means lots of interaction with other civ, from the start on, cause all are near each other. Here we tell how big the galaxy should be.
