Map creation options

Last two times I made a map I picked maximum amount of sectors and max galaxy size but the map came out like 2 really big sectors and a bunch of super small ones. Anyone have any thoughts on what best sector size to pick is?

One time I created a game and had like multiple sectors that seemed medium size, but last two attempts the maps seems really terrible.

sector size changed after patch that why you create small one only

you can change sector size in StarClusterSizeDefs file

<MinRadius>16</MinRadius>

<MaxRadius>48</MaxRadius>

16 -48 its smalest one change it to 50 or 100

if you want test it make a game, open console and type fow and you will see whole map

I played now

<MinRadius>100</MinRadius>

<MaxRadius>100</MaxRadius>

that how it looks like

https://imgur.com/a/pOzOz7o

this is most balanced setup I found , every sector is same and got 3 player each

you can start game, save, use fow comand, if map is ok just load save before you used fow comend to hide map

oh if you need find it its

\steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations IV\Data\Gameplay

just open it with notebook to edit it
