As i said on Facebook, its a great day to be an Elite Founder!

I purchased and downloaded this content.

When I click on load maps I see all of the ones listed, except for Milky Way.

Do I need to do something different to access this map?

So you have to buy this DLC to get the map editor?

Map editor sounds interesting. But I`m not interested in the multiplayer maps. Can you do something special with the editor what the standard random generator can`t?

It's in the scenarios.

The map editor is awesome!

One question though - is there a way to specify which AI race gets which homeworld? It looks like the AI gets randomly assigned to the systems that are tagged as homeworlds. It would be a bit of a bummer if you could not specify that the Altarian AI starts on the Altaria...

And for those who don't know, "Scenarios" can be accessed by clicking on the Campaign button from the main menu.  "Milky Way" is under the "Standalone Scenarios" section underneath the "Campaign" section. 

Adrian, you beat me to the question. How can we specify the home system we create for each custom race? It seems to offer "random" as the only option. 

Is it as simple as naming the Homeworld the same name we gave the custom race?

1) If I copied and created the Terrans, will the game recognize them and put them in the right system? Same for the other races.

2) What about all the customs? How can I fit them into the prpoer systems. (It will suck if the Drengin are using Mentar as their home world.)

3) I can see where my custom race will obviously go in the right system...I'm the only human playing. 

Please let us know if anyone figures out a way to manipulate this and put all the factions where they belong. There must be some combination of using the help key and something like "localplayer" to manipulate this seemingly small hurdle.

Thanks

The people working on the maps aren't the people who would work on the AI, as I understand it improving the AI is mostly Brad's hobby and he will I'm sure have been spending time on it.

1.1 did have some AI improvements in it, as with previous games the AI will continue to get tweaks and improvements for years to come. So just to repeat the point I don't see how production of Map DLC will have had any impact on time available for Brad to work on AI fixes or improvements.

We just released a significant update yesterday as well. GalCiv III is planned to be supported with updates, DLC, and expansions for the next few years.

nvm

The Milky Way map is used if you select Campaign from the main menu and then select the Milky Way stand alone scenario.  It does not appear to be available for sandbox games (yet).
