Like the lines that split up the different regions of the galaxy from the deep core to out rim and map offthe certain controlled areas of space like huff space and Hapan space and any other areas of space

Empire's End has pretty significantly worse performance than Art of War, with just 20 more planets, so the more you scale that, especially as groups get added, the higher the requirements would get for CPU strength as you go. This is especially problematic because CPU improvements tend to be in number of cores, whereas EaW is a 32 bit game and therefore can only use one core.

I was beginning to wonder how many planets are allowed to be on a single map ( maybe an artificial limit)
Because if there isn’t one or you haven’t neared it yet are working on a bigger GC that includes more or are is it something the team has been thinking about.
