I've been absent from this site for many months but I still check in sometimes (usually without logging in). Like you, I find that lake map quite a challenge, I've actually put it to the side for the moment to check out some new and also updated mods but I need a decent amount of land to work with so yes, the lake map will have to wait. 




 




 

Life is just fine .. at present! But at my age, tomorrow might be different.  LOL




When you do decide to play this lake map again, you might have fun with an experiment: change the numbers slightly and see what you get.  For instance ... the original 713809 map seed, if changed by just the last digit to 713808 gives a bigger central island.




Being me, I experimented a bit, going up or down by only one digit at a time, and finding amazing changes. Map seed 712809 was particularly interesting




I didn't have much time to play with the numbers yesterday, it being Thanksgiving, a sacred holiday in the US, ::rolls eyes:: but today the world can go hang while I create another 15 maps! LOL




Got to love those blueberries, though .. make booze and sell it!  I love being able to gather all the flowers and make perfume. And on the right map, getting the wild shepherd to collect 12 or 15 critters for you to exploit.




As you said, the mod makers have made Banished infinitely replayable and so much more fun. I get excited every time anything gets updated. However, I am like a rat terrier with a rat to sniff out when it comes to achievements and find myself going back to get just .. one ... more ....
