Very large maps with lakes
#11


I always use the same map, because it gives me lots of water and a nice big Island




Seed: 92688




<abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> Lake Waters




Large

Here is one I'm craving to play (found by Denis de la Rive) - absolutely gorgeous!

To my great dismay, shock, consternation, disquiet, distress - it is only available in <abbr title="MegaMod">MM</abbr>... [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/sleep.png[/img]/emoticons/sleep@2x.png 2x" title="-_-" width="20" />

Wait, how is it only available in <abbr title="MegaMod">MM</abbr>?  All the climate/terrain/starting conditions are literally exact copies of <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> 1.62.




And just as I was typing this, I remember that I did put in the Swamp Lakes thing for Vrayna, didn't I. So there is a slight difference. It'll be in <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> 1.7, so there is that.

While trying out some new mods I figured I'd try some other map seeds. Of course being greedy I went for the biggest map size I could get but this is the result: -

I wonder if it would make a similar looking map on Large size? I haven't actually tried that because I always expected that the map would be quite different and as mentioned, I like to have the biggest map I can get (I can't even remember the last time I played on any map smaller than Large!) But that gives me an idea to try some of the three seeds I mentioned at Large size instead of Very Large... so stay tuned




My only issue with the Very Large - Seed 959 combination is the starting point. I played this map for a little while last night and ended up making the town east of the start point, along the banks of the main river (rebuilt the storage barn and stockpile). I had some citizens starve because I didn't get food production started right away due to the move and so the food stockpile got used up really fast but I had about 20-25 people at that point. For all the trouble at the start, I really like this map.

He has a version 2 Beta that has some starting conditions and one of them is a lake. It works with the normal map sizes but needs to be placed above mods like Colonial Charter. I haven't used it but it sounds like it will make the more realistic looking lakes that we want.




Link http://ds-mods.net/downloads/ Look under the DS Small Village title. Be warned however that because this is a Beta it has a few bugs, the most important being that traders can't pass under the bridges provided in this mod.

Large map versions of the map seeds I listed above. Note that the "Medium Map" title on the image is from the mini-map mod I am using and is not the starting conditions.

My personal preference is for 999 simply because it has some usable islands.

They turn around and try to find another way to exit the map.
