Very large maps with lakes

[Dolbadarn]

Across a lake in the shadow of an old extinct volcano to the north your settlers haul ashore their boat in anticipation of fertile land to the south and the chance to prosper.

Hey Kevin, and all other lake lovers,




This isn't a very large map, just a large, but the lake is huge. I have never seen a bigger one. Unfortunately I am a dummy when it comes to getting stuff off Steam over to here, so all I can offer are the links Steam gave me when I tried to drag and drop. Hopefully the links will work.

A really good map for those who want to try the challenge of a water village with minimal use of land.

Pretty sweet lake indeed!

I like this map because all the lakes are realistically connected to a river or a smaller stream dividing the map up.

Another couple of maps where all the lakes are joined by a water source.

I did not find this map seed, I saw the thread on a Russian site for Banished. It was posted by <font style="color:rgb(66,100,139);"><font>Aram Arutyunyan 
and even though it was posted way back in 2016, the settings should still be viable.
</font></font> 
The post can be found here (it's devoted to map seeds and doesn't even need the webpage to be translated to understand the information) : -

And now for the map seed itself, check out this massive lake! Edit: Just started a map with this seed. Yes, you do start on the large northern island in the middle of the lake.

Hey Kevin, long time no chat!




Love this map despite not really liking water worlds. Finding it a real challenge but I'm seeing a number of ways to make a good living on it for the few settlers you start with. And ...  I now have my daughter hooked on it, too!




Not that it really matters but last time we talked I was at about the 1000 hour mark, then I quit for a while. I came back determined to get the Mountain Men achievement in vanilla, and once I did that I got hooked again. I'm approaching 1700 hours now.




Banished really is one of those games that gets under your skin and won't let go. 




Glad to see that you are still playing!
