Equal Starting Positions on Tiny/Rare?

from Stardock Forums
I play mostly tiny/rare, and the outcome seems to be primarily determined by starting position. Whichever race gets a 2nd planet winds up dominating.

What I would like to see is a "equal starting positions" feature for tiny/rare. Each race starts on a PQ20 planet, and there are guaranteed to be no other uninhabited PQ 15+ planets.

You should be able to set that up in AP using the editors. Hummm... If the devs added a 'radom' load of custom maps, you would be able to setup several maps and then play them.

AP really doesn't have scripting that sophisticated.

I want to specify certain conditions and THEN have a random map be generated.

AP only lets me generate a random map and then edit it.

What I want:
- Generate a random map, subject to restriction that each race gets a 20 PQ homeworld, with no other inhabitable planets.

AP doesn't allow scripting like that.

Another thing I'd like to be able to specify on tiny/rare: no two majors start in the same sector. If I start in the same sector as another major, I can't build a military without getting the other AI mad at me.

Try using the cheat code to equally allocate any planets. You can't submit the score though.
