Then add a line with: "group 1" and change "useDefaultTemplate TRUE" by "useDefaultTemplate FALSE". Where MyTemplate is the name of the type of militia you create.

Open the map file, then search the planets info (it look like this): To do this, you will need to open the map file with an text editor (like notepad).

In order to make a map using a mod (mostly, a mod that adds planets), you must copy the mod's "GalaxySenarioDef" file into the Galaxy Forge folder. It should be something like: C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy After saving the map, copy it in the directory of the game, in the "galaxy" folder. I recommend you to create a "map" folder in Galaxy Forge, to save your maps. In the "file" menu, click on save (Galaxy Forge will NOT ask to save if you quit without saving). Now you have to save the map and make it playable. The first map is done, at least its very simple and not very interesting, but you can now add new type of planet and link to the others. This will connect each planet to the Star, click on the phase lanes to see their length.ĭ. Select a planet, hold "ctrl" and click on the star. Now you have to link planets with "phase lanes" to allow players to travel on others planets. You now have three planets, one per player.Ĭ. In "properties" you can choose the type of planet. Then change the "owner" to the new player you added. In the section "ownership" in the "toolbox" floating window select "IsHomePlanet" and change it to "true". Click on a player to change the name of the player and the starting resources (the others options are not important for the moment).

You can add new player by clicking on "add". The first thing is to decide the number of players. Let's go for a tutorial map, at the end you will know how make a simple playable map with planets:Ī. All new stars are automatically of the Random type, new planets are default to Terran but that can be changed in the movable window.Ī planet can only connect through phase lanes (or wormholes) to other planets in the same star system. Simple isn't it? You may also double click in open space to add a new star. To create a star you must right-click outside on the map and choose "add star". To add a new planet you right-click inside the desired star's radius and choose "add planet", alternatively you may double click in the radius. When you start Galaxy Forge two Terran Home planets and a Star will be the default new map. SINS' Downloads Make a small map playable in-game Galaxy Forge can be found at the following link:
