By the way: The algorithm that creates the starmap tries to be extremly fair.
If you go to our gamepage and click "Settings..." you find these numbers:
1) very close planets: 4
2) close planets: 12
3) other planets min homeworld distance: 155
That means:
1) Every homeworld has exactly 4 planets within 1 turn (81 ly) distance, not 3, not 5, exactly 4!
2) Every homeworld has min 12 planets within 2 turns (81-162ly) distance.
3) Every other planet is at least 155 ly away. (so there can be one or two more planets in 2 turns distance somewhere between 155-162 ly away).
For those who like to be scared:
I used this knowledge inverse to find out the exact HW-positions of each player nearly at the beginning of the game. For half of the positions, I know the exact HW-position. For the other half it's one out of two possibilities. |
