Help me find a good map

from Sins Forums

I got diplomacy, enjoying it.  I found the map Triumvirate and I love it, with the following exception, the extra resource system.  I want the exact same map without the 4th sun for a resource system, or just make the system be pirates only.

 

Is there a map like this?  I really like having a small system with 2 players each to keep the game managebly small and then being able to interact with the rest of the galaxy from a single conquered system after you defeat your initial opponent, but having a resource rich open system, like the 4th sun, ruins the balance of power.

 

Thanks.

Update, I tried playing with the map editor, to create a 6 player, 4 star, 2 player per star, 1 star for pirates map and I keep getting issues.

 

I haven't been able to get fully connected systems, there's always a leaf node for each player that sits behind their starting planet that only they can get to, is there a way to fix this?

First of all, you can always try your hand at making your own map with the Galaxy Forge. It's a nice tool you can find in the downloads section, and it allows you to determine the exact position, number and type of planets on the map.

Anyways, I don't think Random multistar generates an empty system if you have all the slots filled (I could be wrong though). I don't think any of the default maps come with a setup like you describe though. A couple have several smaller unclaimed systems, and others like Voruk's Labyrinth only have these systems accessible by wormholes, but none where it is only composed of 2 players systems.

Does Galaxy Forge work with Diplomacy? In the downloads section it says it has only been updated to work with Entrenchment V1.01.
