Immediate Victory for newly created maps

from Sins Forums

I know I've seen this question posted before, but I can' find it again to find the solution. 

I've got the new Galaxy Forge v1.1 and took one of the maps from the game and made some small mods to it and dumped it into my

c:\...\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

directory.

I find the map file in my custom maps portion in the game, start the game, and immediately get the Game Over (victory or defeated) message.  and see no stars or planets in the map if I click continue game.

So, my question is this, what do you think I'm doing wrong here?  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks all

You are correct, this has been covered before - its a pity the search feature of this forum is so poor (I couldn't find the thread when I had this problem by searching until I got google to search the forum :annoyed: )

Basically this and the Instant Defeat issue is due to the Player(s) setup in the map. Make sure each player has a starting Home World - planet/astroid etc...

I got this problem when I put my map in that same directory you did.

 

When I put it in c/program files/startdock games/galaxy it worked fine though.

Tkins, yes you're right too; I'd forgotten that alternative cause...
