Game with "All" Minors

Post by Dewbacca »

I see the options in game set up for minors are none, few, some, and many.

Is there a way to have all available minor races utilized? I understand the galaxy size would have to be large enough...

I have played Very large galaxies and do not think I've ever had all of the minors in play. Would be interesting to have NO or FEW empty systems!

I don't think you can have all Minor races. Not even sure if it can be modded in though. I would hate to see on turn 100 or even 300 on how slow the game will be with 5 major and all minors would run.

You just need a fast computer! ;-)

However by turn 300 many of the minors would be part of the majors by either conquering or membership.
Hailing frequencies close,

just had this discussion with Dafedz awhile back.

From my test it is about 1 out of 10 game will have the full 30 minors when set to many. The other 9 will have 27 - 29 minors.

but the code to have 30 every time has never been found. in latest mods UE is setting it to 31 just so we can get the 30 this often.

Hello all-
I have a question re: trying to get UM 5 v 2.5 to run with all (I believe that's 30?) minor races; I have searched this absolutely wonderful site's forums but cannot find some instructions on how to make it happen; Can someone let me in on it? (And also, tell me what the simple search is that my idiot self couldn't manage to come up with?)
Thanks all

My apologies-
I realize of course that it is random, I simply wanted to eliminate the random number and make it all of them every time I select a large-sized map.
But thanks for pointing out the post you quoted me.
And my thanks to all for this great modding site!
