1.2 starting positions?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Has anyone noticed the starting conditions being better? That was something we spent some time on. Making the start-up positioning have more space between them.

Yes! the starting positions for the two games I have played were noticibly better.

BTW the overall game play was excellent. The changes you made are great.

Can't really tell yet, but FWIW I actually had to generate new map for the first time ever after the 1.2b. And I had to do it twice in a row

First time I was alone in a corner with only 2 solar systems within the reach of my Flagship and neither of them had any habitable planets. In the second I was completely surrounded by AIs and almost all of the solar systems were behind that AI zone. In the third map (one I'm playing currently) I have good (well, excellent) position as all AIs are side by side along one edge of the galaxy, and I'm pretty close to the center by myself. Settings are Medium Galaxy with everything set to Common and 4 AIs.

Otherwise the excellent game play just keeps getting more excellent (with the actual 1.2 we may run out of superlatives)

I am playing a game I just stated under 1.10.029 so the positions were already set. I was playing under 1.2.008 Beta last night
The UI changes are great and the AI seems to be noticably more agressive and smarter. The Drath actually put up a great fight and the new combat system made things exciting.

The planet build AI seems noticably better.

Great work.
