I'm quite curious, what is your definition of a 'good' universe?
|
Where each player has two planets, within 81 ly of each other. Ideally no other players within 81 ly. Most important it should be FAIR if possible. If there is one race in range of 4 other races, then that race is doomed to failure. If possible I would like all players to have a roughly equal chance.

If you are just looking to place the HW stars correctly I can point you to some great tools for relocating worlds that would save you a lot of time. If you use a seed when generating the universe you can then rearrange the race order in the setup file so the HW stars pair up correctly on the x-axis; generate the game again; then use a tool to remap the locations on the y-axis.

I am doing it much the way you mention, and I am using a seed. I had thought about the tool that moves planets on the Y axis, and in the case I mentioned, it might work. I will check.
Please post the URL for that tool.

If you do it like this I don't think you need to generate more than one universe, or am I missing something...?

Because depending on the seed/arrangement, it might pack some of the players too close together.

I want to drop a quick update to let you know where I am.... overall proceeding nicely IMHO.
Universe creator was a pain, and the y coordinates seemed to be opposite of Stars! (directional) but I eventually got it figured out.
At this point the dual HWs are done, I need to add passwords, generate one more turn, and then send the files to Ron. All Pop and mineral amounts and ships are at starting points.
Problems:
Due to the way I did the planet arrangement, some of the extras created with leftover RW points went to the wrong players. I adjusted the best I could, but there are a few small bonuses that a few players might notice.
The biggest problem is that I forgot to build defenses and a scanner on the second HW. The good point is that this is true for all players. If anyone has a problem with me continuing on despite this problem then let me know as soon as possible.
I should be able to finish tonight or tomorrow morning. I need to go fix dinner for the family now..
