Frequency of

from GalCiv4 Forums

I am playing a new version 1.02 game and I set "Hostile Entities" to "Rare".  However, in my home sector, I have already destroyed a Space Monster nest and a base of whatever those red things are called and now I have stumbled across a spot that has both of them (see the second screen snapshot below).  That means that my home sector has at least 4 Hostile Entity nests/bases.

I think your logic for the frequency and location of Hostile Entities needs some work.

The red things should be pirates. It was reported in previous versions, but you're right, this feature remains broken.  That's why I set this slider to none until it gets some TLC. }:)

I did a few rebuilds with Rare hostile entities and it seems right. For example, here you see one set of sentinels in my starting sector.

But it is random. Can you let me know your other map settings? (starting sector size and map size)

You know ive generated a lot more maps and sometimes it does seem to have more. its just the nature of the RNG. I'm going to make them even more rare on rare to prevent cases like your game.
