What's this talk about bad starts? (probably my best start ever)

[WarpStorm]

Sure, but I was thinking of an easier to find scheme than just the general directory, for example a sticky thread.

Start a tread and pm Ming

ideal situation: 1 post for screenshot, 1 for the savegame. but in the end it'll be a mess.

someone would need to keep editing the first few posts of a thread to keep a good overview.

volunteers?

That sounds very cool, very good idea.

Great way to cut down on Ctrl-Shift-Q, as we would have a bank of good starts etc.

Can't you just give us the seed number from the .ini file?

Then, when the patch arrives, we can play with that precise world...

Jessica Alba? Or Faith Hill?

You got me, I think it was Jessica. I did not know the name. She had dark hair and I think Faith has light hair. I have to confess I only heard of the singer and never heard of Jessica.

i just generated a archipelagio 240x240 map in the editor and saw one of the greatest starting locations ever... well, at least if you move the settler 5xSW, 1xS.... that would be 12 (!!!) cattle in the city radius.

there were some other nice spots around too. obviously the resource distributor calculates from the total tile number and not from the usable tile count... it had half as much land (80% water) than on other maps (60%) for the same amound of resources.

now thats a nice looking map

[WarpStorm]

I think that start area would be do-able.

[Fatwreck]

hey! there is no river near those cows

[vmxa1]

Missing iron, but as long as you don't get mad cow, it should be nice.

[Kuciwalker]

It has Iron on that mountain

You maybe right, my eyes are not good enough anymore to be sure.
