more races bigger map

Post by keller »

Perhaps a little early to ask for this but seeing that this game is working out I would like to see a bigger map with even more races (and of course all races playable at some point)

Well, i would like a bigger map at the very least, cause right now, 6 sectors are not enough, i mean at level 5 in technology i can travel pretty much all over the galaxy as well as scanning it all, which i think is not realistic, i would love to have 12 or even 24 sectors, after its that big, adding more races would be possible.

Perhaps the number of sectors could scale with the size of the map. ??

I only played on standard setting this far but that sounds reasonable. The only problem I see with this is that there currently is only one size of the map. You can adjust the number of stars giving you 2 effective sectors if you choose lowest, but anything else will play on all six sectors of the standard map size.

I assume this will be moddable once the modding framework is finished. So maybe give the devs some time to do their magic ... :wink:

PS: For me, games are long enough with the average setting. But it would be nice to have differently sized maps so I could choose the distance between the stars and thus lower expansion speed without adding more planets.

Master Of Orion 3 = Trash

Yes , it would appear that you can change the number of stars but not actually have a larger map :(
I have faith in the devs that this will eventually change :)
