Random Map Game

from Sins Forums

Is it possible to randomly generate a custom scenario?

For example a scenario containing  three star systems containing two (say) home planets for each faction (3 players). Each factions also have preset amount of ships(a capital, heavy frigates along with cobalt frigates). There would be a preset number of structures (star-bases, military /civilian research stations) present at different home worlds.

Rest of the planets/phase lines/pirate base location would be then randomly generated each time just like in  a normal random map.

Eh sort of. Use the galaxy forge and set all the other planets besides the starts and homeworlds to random/randomTrue etc.

Yes it's possible. You will have to edit the random maps, and more importantly, edit the GalaxyScenarioDef file in order to make the various homeworld start-conditions per faction.

Though I don't understand what you mean by two homeworlds... Do you mean two starting planets, or two TerranHome planets? As there is a difference between the two; however you can indeed make the second planet colonized AND have starting structures/ships, even in a randomly-generated map, I've done this myself. If you want to make them start with upgrades... You will have to make a new planet entity file for that.
