Noob map question

from Sins Forums

Hi

 Let me apologise first if this question(s) has been asked before. I have just bought the game becasue I am bored with wow, and it is great.

  My first question is where are saved maps stored. I have looked in the galaxy folder and it is not there. I mean a map that you generate yourself in game. If I save it as Raknruin 1 where will it go? Also is there any guides available to using the custum map maker? I want to generate a map with alot of stars but few lanes connecting them ( 1 or 2 lanes), and where can I edit the starting resources for the map once I have made it?

 Sorry again for the newbie questions but I am excited about the game and I want to get the most out of it.

the map designer maps are stored in a folder next to your mods eg for windows xp C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\galaxy

for vista/windows7 it is C:\users\user name\LocalApps\local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\galaxy

by the way both locations are hidden filder protected so you have to enable viewing of hidden file/folders

hope this helps
