Map editor - neutrals

[Nitram Draw]

Does the editor allow cargo to be placed on planets? It would be cool if you could pre-place weapons platforms on a neutral ringworld. Then it would be a real tough nut to crack!

How would you but a netural in a slot?

[Oggy ben Doggy]

If you can't force a neutral there, you could put in a system with no warpoints, and a ringworld or two.

You could leave slot 1 (most common human slot) as a normal planet, and give slots 2 to 20 Dyson Spheres as homeworlds. The AI's and any neutral players will get them.

I think neutral players come after full AIs, so if you give slot 16 to 20 stuff, it'll probably go to neutrals (or else its first-come first-served).

Anyone ever try to save a neutral race like you do a normal race? Maybe then you could place them.

This works indeed very well. However I think the neutral AI needs some modding to really make good use of this map.

Would an AI use the available facility slots for a ringworld / sphereworld or would it just run through the homeworld build queue and stop?

It would end up with around 103 mineral mines and one of everything else.......
