Very large maps with lakes

That main lake from seed  384395215  is quite interesting and I agree that the small circular one is worth removing/changing. Maybe changing it to a third (or quarter) it's size so it looks like the river has expanded but not enough to make a lake.




I've never been particularly good with the terraforming tool so I wonder what variations would occur by changing a number here or there in the map seed? Sounds like a project for the weekend when I've got some time to experiment!

I had never used the Terraforming tool before.




Now I know why.  Things like that are dangerous in my hands.




I had people walking through the river, stuck in the river , and the same with the animals.




My poor Trader all you could see was his head as he rowed through the ground I had created.




When you have a lake/pond like that that has the traders river flowing trough it, it is quite difficult to see where the traders river actually runs.




Which made it hard to determine what to terraform and what not to.  I ended up creating a path that I thought would have been the right path.




But apparently Luke didn't agree with me, because clearly it wasn't.




 




I was extremely sleepy by then and created a damaging mess and had to delete the map and start all over from scratch on it again.
