That takes you to the download page on the official Sins site.  Maps, mods, replays, tools to make maps and mods, screenshots, and wallpapers.  Have fun!

Ah cool thanks i have been looking for new maps for months now and have had nothing turn up

Try creating a worldbuilder map (from in the game) - they can be a lot of fun.

for the maps from before the 25th of feb 2009 you will also need the mapupdater for sins 1.16/entrenchment1.02 from here

guys i am just retarded, and dont understand how a: to put these maps into soaspe, or b: get the new map editor that gives you more control ect.  as stated before, i am retarded.  so like um, when you explain uh, keep that in mind

first you will want/need a either or both winrar and 7zip ot extract files then download and install galaxy forge from the sins download page
assuming you have sins 1.16/entrenchment 1.02,  the galaxy forge maps NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge.

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

also the galaxy forge maps only show up in the galaxy forge tab of map types

and if a map you want to play was released before 25th feb 2009 then you will also neet the sins map updater from here
