Share maps that you have found... challenge other players with obscure builds... and more!!!

[jryan]

My initial thought is that we need to sort of combine the fun of successioning with the collaborative map sharing.... so here are the ground rules:

Find a site that has at least one of the following:

1) An interesting hook... Monster Cave, Undead, etc.

2) An interesting or challenging landscape....

3) An interesting starting build

Then people can download and play a year and let everyone know how it went.

I will start with the simplest qualified map.  It has:

Pros:
* - Magma Pipe
* - Large Loam/Silt layer for farming
* - Descent amount of wood
* - Adamantine
* - Good amount of aluminum for trade goods
* - Terrain is flat-ish
* - Large Obsidian filled hill

Cons (pros?  ):
* - Kobold Cave Dominates large part of the map
* - You start very close to the Kobolds
* - Fairly standard Expedition Build.. no fighters
* - Only metal that is abundant and easy to find is copper
* - Probably need to kill the Kobolds to access most of the wood
* - Propensity for mysterious Drownings!!


Good luck!!!

Oh wow, jryan from the Pwot forums? Hi! Im Im_a_Vandal!

I would be very interested in a map with undead, a winding cave system, and at least one semi mega beast. I plan on making a labyrinth that I can drop gobbos into. If they can find their way out, they're free to go!

That can be overcome if you provide a shot of embark so people can regen and start on their own.  (I doubt many players will want to use someone else's embark choices - often quite a strong personal preference.)

i think that's a part of the fun. in any case it's quite trivial to locate the site and re-gen the world to start fresh.

Precisely right.  This is a forum game about living outside of your comfort zone.



Also, Hello Im_a_Vandal.

That's actually a good idea, providing that people don't intentionally mess up embark builds. That could make very interesting advanced challenges! Post your own interesting combinations of builds/maps, that would be fun (in both ways).
