Documentation improvement; currently I cannot save a working custom map, and it's probably because I'm doing something wrong.

I'de like one page of How-To for map creation. Where do the files go, what must be done to play a custom map, what fields have to be filled in, etc. It should walk through making one small map, and running it.

AngleWyrm, Custom Map files go into Stardock - Drengin.net - AltarianProphecy - Data - Custom Maps folder. I had a little trouble figuring it out at first as well. Then I did a little trial and error and it seemed to work. Once your map is saved in that directory you can then start up AP & in the listbox where you can pick galaxy size hit the right arrow until it says custom. Then you'll be able to choose your map from the next listbox to the right. Hope that helps a little. ;)

You should be able to do it with the +/- keys.
