				Your Favorite Kind Of Game Set Up
	
			 
             
			
		
		
		
		What is your favorite way to set up your games? 
 
Single Player: 
I prefer to set low tech, use FQM D- Dense Midlife Large Galaxy, Warp points anywhere, no events, Good planet starting with good starting resources.  One planet low tech start with high tech cost, using 5k settings. 
 
For Multiplayer: 
I do much the same with the exception of starting points.  I normally set that to 2k.

		For hot seat with my Beloved: 
FQM/TDM, Low tech, high tech cost, 5000 racial, best AIs, lots of Neutrals, Threaded Spiral is the favourite.
 
Solataire: 
Which ever set up for PBW I am testing

		I'm partial to large Cluster sectors, with many AI players.  If the game does a good job in spreading the players out, each empire has a "core" Cluster that is more easily defensible, a base from which to expand.

		Currently it is AIC mod, about 10 AI with low bonus, no neutrals, one medium HW start, medium atypical-sidereal galaxy. No warp points. 
First ~150 turns I enjoy the SimCity-style game, then some barabrians open warp points to me and burn my cities

		Havn't played AI since I started PBW, a couple months ago.  But it was TDM/FQM, 255-system, some kinda FQM clusters, not-all-warp-point-connected (then keep generating map until all systems are connected), low tech, low tech cost (think that'll change the next time I play AI, havn't played one low cost PBW game yet), single, large, good homeworld, 2000 racial, 20 non-neutral AI opponents, high difficulty, medium bonus. 
 
PBW cant be whatever, I havn't yet started my own game.
