Multi-ERA one planet

[m3my]

Hello all,
I would like to ask if its possible to make map with multi-era, heroes, etc. like Art of War map, but where every faction would start with one planet ? I was looking on forum, i found one topic where is said it came up with 2.0 version, i guess From the ground up map was meant. I was playing that map for some time, but without heroes and set up ERA it loose its potential during playtime.  I know nothing about modding of SW or some map editor, but could be possible to modify Art of War map and set one home planet for every faction ?

Thanks in advance for any answer also big thanks to all guys that made this mod !

It can most certainly be done, but IMO it's not worth doing. FTGU is one of the better GCs in the mod, but that is not so much because of the concept of one-planet start, but rather the lack of resources in the early game that forces the player to make some tough decisions.

Now, if you were to give the IR Isard and several ISD heroes, there would be no challenge or strategy to the game. Just build up your ground forces and then blitz everything. And with fewer planets to defend with your massive Imp hero fleet, the AI could never hope to pose any threat in the early game.

If you want to try modding it yourself, I would advise you to look at Data\XML\Conquests\ArtofWar\Campaigns_All.XML
