Installation instructions:

Copy to the Galaxy folder under the root folder of your Sins of a Solar Empire installation (c:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy by default).

Start up Sins of a Solar Empire and start a new game. Click "change map type" until you see "Large Maps". The map is called EFS.


Notes:

The Imperial Regent starts with two worlds: Byzantium II and Stigmata. This is balanced out by the next note:
Symbiots begin very close to Stigmata and WILL need to overtake it to spread further. Symbiots start with more resources than other teams, so a competent player will succeed at this attack.
For these reasons, neither the Imperial Regent nor the Symbiots are recommended for beginners.

All other teams are at least 3 jumps away from each other (enforced by adding plasma storms or asteroids between close planets). Some are considerably further than others, per the original EFS jumproutes.
