Heartesy 349 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Personally I think we should go for 7k by 7k. I would LOVE to see more mountains and colder biomes, as well as warmer mountains with big forests! Or just forests in general. Maybe dark, spookier forest for the mischevious side of things? I’ve also always been interested what the void looks like- if anything. Of course that would hopefully not be on the main map but it’s still a cool idea some builder could grab if they ever get bored, y’know? Also I know there was an event but can we please get rid of the damn holes in the ground? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

𝖂𝖆𝖌𝖜𝖆𝖓 740 Share Posted July 28, 2022 A smaller map with just more realistic terrain. Seeing trees near double the size of city walls in some cases is actually ridiculous. I want to see more hills and less stupidly large mountains or other terrain features. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin_champloo 5950 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Have a smaller map, and do the ‘you can’t buy tiles for [x] months at the start of the map’ thing so Nations have to focus on their capitals, citizens and playerbase rather than throwing them out in a vassal 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonian 12826 Share Posted July 28, 2022 use MCgen it's a million times more interesting and realistic than the dumb shit we always get. you can tell that our maps are designed with everything set to plains first, and then they stick in some gigantic unscalable mountains and a few racial biomes here and there. it really shows and our maps are always painfully boring because of it default minecraft generation is just a million times better and we should use it. just run it a few times until you get a good seed, edit it to make it feel more like a continent, and tweak from there 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the names have been used, but the concepts behind making interesting regions hasn't, except for maybe the Tomblands. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonian 12826 Share Posted July 28, 2022 also anyone who unironically thinks this is good map design needs to actually log onto the server yes, those look absolutely beautiful from afar with a render distance about 1,000x greater than the one we actually have. but log onto the server and beautiful vistas like these become invisible and irrelevant, but what doesn't is the complete unnavigability of the terrain, or the inability to build anything on it without massive terraforming projects. design terrain based on gameplay and how it'll look close-up, not based on views that no player will ever actually get to see 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaotikal 2234 Share Posted July 28, 2022 You guys have never had the team effort and time required to accomplish proper high fantasy biomes, so they always end up looking like candyland, or straightup are unusable for builds, which if noone goes there or wants to, why even have it in the first place? Go for low fantasy, and cut down on the mesa biome only for bits in the desert, and make said desert small. There's only a handful of people willing to go there, and making the entier southern hemisphere arid/desert was kind of a dodgy throw as everyone but Orcs who settled there wanted to change the biome. Be smart, make a map for your players, not some bullshit checklist you're currently writing as is customary for the other maps.
