Hardest Map Seeds
Anybody know some really difficult map seeds to try? I'm looking for a challenge. I've searched around but can't seem to find anything extremely difficult.

I found one so far, but it's for the CC mod:

Map Seed: 616 Terrain Type: [CC] Water World Terrain Size: Small Climate: [CC] Very Harsh Disasters: On Starting Conditions: [CC] Adam & Eve

You might want to try using Colonial Charter 1.62 - the Forge Awakens. There are lots of more challenging maps and conditions. This YouTube playthrough uses a Waterworld Map with Harsh conditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqb3G5_4wrM&list=PLvbdtWQM5GPQheBUOvOJUeZdq49oFi58f There are desert maps with arid conditions available and some with lots of lakes.

I found a good one. 104021520

Your people and their wagon start on a tiny piece of land that is almost an island. There is one very thin, long piece of land connecting to a larger section of land.

Water World

You start on a small island almost in the middle of the sea. You can get off it by building a bridge connecting to another tiny island and then building from there to get to the mainland.

Sure wish there was on updated version of Colonial Charter that had ships that could ferry people across bodies of water like the teamster ports in Tropico 6

Valleys

Found this one when playing vanilla Banished but is exactly the same on CC. You start on a small peninsula and have to build bridges just to expand further. The only starting advantage is that you're very close to water, so fishing is easy. The lake in this map seed is enormous for being valley's and not water world. It takes some doing to prosper on this map, but I managed to get a lot of achievements on it despite that

Extremely difficult. Start on a tiny island next to another, tinier island. Very few trees, rocks, and iron ore. Had to use dock drift wood finder for the first couple of seasons while using a reed farmer to make fire bundles. Things got easier once I created a forester, but to get stone for that I needed to make a stone mine. Also had to make iron mine for iron ore to make crappy rough tools. Also, needed herbalist badly.

Things were starting to get better until one of my people died in the iron mine, because "crushed by rock" is the most common f-u-c-k-ing cause of death in this game. Mind you, I was starting on shipwreck hard, not that having a farm or ranch on such limited space would've made things easier anyway...

Well if I ever finish my 10000 attempt I can go back to trying the Water World maps again. The last time I did that I got placed on a small island with zero resources and with an Adam and Eve start, it didn't go very well.

Keep in mind that the game sometimes chooses a different start point for your citizens. If you want a challenging map and choose one of the above suggestions and it doesn't start on the described spot, you may have to restart with a new game.

Doesn't look that hard. Too many people to start with. Whats the tree seed for?

Have you tried Jack and Jill? It can be found within Red Ketchup mod, RKEC
