Are there any map size options? What are they? How small and how big can a game map (star systems) be?
Options for number of AI players?

Hi there.
There are several map size options from Small to Huge. You have Galaxy age, Starting age. The only thing missing is a `random` option. I hope they include random eventually.

The larger the map the more AI to a max of 7. I played on normal difficulty, but it can get as high as Extreme. Dunno whether the higher difficulty just adds more bonuses to the AI of makes it `smarter`.

There`s also a `Random Seed` for the map where you can pop your own number in... I don`t really know what that does. After a few games I might work it out.

Thank you for your reply.
Approximately what's the difference in number of star systems between the map sizes?
Also, can you set for example a huge map with only one enemy AI?

I really can`t say. I`ve only played Huge and got beaten before I got very far. On a guess maybe 50+ star systems? The game doesn`t tell you the star amount in tool tips. But don`t quote me!

Yes, you can set 1 AI in a Huge system.
