>>>above maps are good for No Warp Games or without ALL WPs connected) ---
This implies that; other AIC data is optimized for these maps with or with out the above setting of No-Warp and/or without ALL WPs connected for your new game.
~You may also regenerate the
AIC-CENTURION RUINS map with the above settings for a no-warp game.
All maps that are located below from that menu; play similar to se4 or the maps you may be used to regardless of whether it is a no warp game or not, because the AIC SM III warp opener is at the same location on the Tech Tree and same as default of 10 LY, as the se4 first warp opener.

Now with above said, and considering Opening Warps over your Home Planet. Try this setting when starting a new game quad map
ALL WPs connected { off } and then
No Warp Points { ON } as this
WILL absolutely change most if not all the AI Players strategies/methodologies

and may somewhat change your new system warp opening methods/strategies as well.

In addition, for those of you that have not played this style of just a
ALL WPs connected { off } game with >>>above maps are good", please give it a try; it is an interesting alternative from the basic standard or no-warp games
