Sins of a Solar Empire is often described as a 4XRTS game, or a game that tried to merge the action and tactics packed gameplay of a Real time strategy game with the deep, complex, empire wide strategy of a 4X turn based game. It's up to debate whether Sins succeeded in this goal, but I think all can agree that of the 4Xs of "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate", Sins is much more focused on the exterminate than on the others. This mod seeks to give more depth to the other 3Xs of the game by adding additional game elements or refining the existing ones to reward players who give more strategic thought to the non-combat side of the game. Combat will still be the center point of the game, but players will find that the non-combat options available will be much more rewarding. Spying, exploring, sabotage, diplomacy, culture, and economic development have all been added or changed in innovative new ways. Regardless of what you think Sins is, this is the 4XRTS it should have been.

I make regular comp stomp maps to play with the kids from time to time. My latest was an effort to speed up the game by going 3 humans vs 1 AI with tons of bonuses, including starting with 5 worlds.

It seems if a player starts with more than 1 world with the E4X mod, each world gets the homeworld bonuses, including the hero spawning building. Clicking on it's starting worlds they all had the "Vasari Homeworld" bonus.

Then when the AI fleet arrived it had 2-5 copies of each of the hero capital ships. I'm guessing it's happening when the AI has some supply open each of the hero buildings trigger and spawn multiple copies.

It was a Vasari, if that makes any difference.

I didn't see this reported... or mentioned in the readme files... but I wouldn't be surprised if I missed something.

For the additional planets, make sure you turn off "Use Default Templates" option in the planet items menu.

Indeed you cannot have multiple hero stations spawning in your custom map, or it does break the feature.
