Remember to build it facing east!  Some Pelennor fields in front, please.  And a river to the south.  With an Osgiliath map just to the east (wide river).  Damn, somebody generate the map and build this thing already.

So how about we do this successive?
(Just discuss for now.)

[Matuin]

I'd be down.

[ISGC]

you'd need to find the perfect map.

[melkorp]

0.31 or 40d?

[Slayer]

0.31.03

[melkorp]

Good, I suck at 0.31 so

Never find the perfect map but
I think repeated worldgen to get the geography

Steep cliff          Grassland          Grassland

Steep cliff          Grassland          Grassland

Steep cliff          Grassland          Grassland

River                River                 River     (Optional, really)

Then some light to medium terraforming for that improbable "prow"

Need that utility people use to make pixel circles later

Not all that hard.  Hey, it isn't Flarechannel.

This'll give me the impetus to learn burrows, military, and health care, nice.

this is the way it's done

[melkorp]

Whoa, actual worldgen or ascii art?

[Rose]

actual worldgen, using worldpainter.

unfortunately, I you have to keep regenning till you get one that doesn't have odd things... like a good mordor.

[melkorp]

world...painter?..

[Slayer]

world...painter?..

[Rose]

when you edit the setting for a custom worldgen, you can press P for worldpainter, which is exactly what it says on the tin.

there's also a utility that'll import heightmaps into the worldgen.txt, as well as temperature, etc.

Excellent work, although Mordor should be a ring of mountains around grasslands with a desert around a volcano in the top left, not pure mountains, as most of Morder was actually quite pleasant with large farmlands to the south, it was only the immediate area around Mt Doom that was all black and horrible.

Other than that though; love it. Especially neat how a number of cities even ended up in around about the right places

No mods? If you like mods, I could make LOTR small conversion, not too much but still. What do you think?

P.S. Also I clearly see Edoras and Aldburg on that map.
