Hey all,
I've been going through some of the maps, I'm looking for a map that has like a bottle neck, the enemy has to pass this one single planet to start breaching the area you control?
Anyone have an suggestions?
You could just make a simple map in galaxy forge.
But you cannot position planets to be like a bottle neck? I did read the tutorial about map designer unless I missed something?
map designer IS NOT galaxyforge, and galaxyforge requires you(the map creator) to place EACH planet, phose lane and wormhole, so in galaxyforge it is easy (in comparison) to create the EXACT map that you want.
and for your info the galaxyforge on the download page is for the sins/entrenchment/diplomacy set ONLY, and the galaxyforge for rebellion is in the galaxyforge folder next to your rebellion exe in the steamapps folder
harpo
There are actually two ways to make maps in Sins and should not be confused with each other, as they make totally different maps.
The in game map designer is for random maps, where you can customize parameters but the map you play will be different every time, making it impossible to make specific choke points.
The Galaxy Forge is an external program made by the devs used to make custom maps, and these will always have the same layout, with many other options thus available not in the map designer. For Rebellion, it is located in your Sins install directory, in the steamapp folder. For all other versions, download it from the downloads section of this website.
As for choke point maps already in game, Douplegangers is a good one, each player has a small solar system to themselves. You don't get much better chokepoints than stars if you really want a long game.
Hey there,
Thank you both, I will look into this and you both get a Karma point
If you are looking for a somewhat similar map by default in Single Player, Gateway is probably the closest you'll get. You start off like in any other map, and your opponent can get to you as easily as any time else, but rush the tech for between stars jumping and you can travel past planet "Gateway", for which the map is named, through its parent star and into the other system. This is the only way to enter the other system - through the planet gateway. Hold Gateway [Or the star beyond thanks to Starbases], and you control the entire other star system [Most likely], and your enemy has to push through the Gateway chokepoint to get to your empire.
No maps that will start you off on a planet with just 1 jump leading out of it though.
The Distant Star Mod

has a Map called "Ashes of TEC"
You start in your own solar system. And there is only one, highly defendable planet that leads away from the star. Only past this planet your planets can be accessed. Best chokepoint map, ever.
The Map has multiple star systems, the non starting ones are connected via wormholes. It is a very nice map.
