Navezgane or Random Gen?

[Spada]

Hi i Plan to play Singleplayer what can you recommend do you also know some nice world seeds with plenty of Big Cities ?
I knew about some tool which helped me to create seeds but can’t remember the name

I just completed a play through on Navezgane but since I started a random gen map, I think I would prefer the latter. It takes somewhere between five and ten minutes to create a map that's much bigger than Navezgane.

Personally, Navezgane gets boring fast because you learn where everything is, and it loses that element of surprise.

The world generation tools are not yet updated for a20 and are not advised to be used. The default RWG has more options and faster generation now though.

Navezgane is a decent map to start with while learning the game, but RWG I think is best. Larger cities, more variety, more to do.

Random Gen all the way

Does anyone know if there are plans to "redo" navezgane to include bigger cities?

I wanna play Random Gen but need seeds i had back then a seed with 18 Big Cities

Navezgane has a decent wilderness but its 'cities' are tiny and far from one another. I definitely prefer RWG for the cities.

If it were Alpha 19, I'd say Navezgane, Wonderful custom map where POI locations tell a bit of a story and have POIs that aren't found in Random Gen (Dead Man's Gulch area.)

In A20, then you want a small 6K Random Gen. Did a tour to see what they did in Navezgane and the POIs set up for Random Gen now look awkward and misplaced in areas that once looked good. You'll get more variety in a Random Gen in A20 now.

TFP will update Navezgane for A21 since the focus on A20 was Random Gen.

Personally, I been playing since A15 and never played Navesgane more than a few minutes. Why? Because it is a fixed map.....nothing random in it other than loot you may find. Also, it's where the 'story' of the game will play out--when the game is finished. So, I'm waiting till the game is finished and Navesgane is final / completed with the game. Meanwhile, I just play RWG. A20 has some issues currently, which might make generating a map problematic. You could just use one of the Pre-gen's to avoid those issues......at least until maybe A20.4 drops--hopefully the RWG mixer will be worked out a bit better.

I always prefer Random Gen. Keeps things always Fresh. As for the A20 random Generation, I think the latest version works just fine. You may get more bells and whistles with the Nitro Map gen tool, A20's is not bad these days for a quick Gen. I made a 10k map in just under 10 minutes.
Granted Ram is a huge factor of the Gen tool. I have 64 gigs of Ram. I had no Issue. The important thing is to let it do its thing. Don't fuss with the game while it is Generating. Let it get to finish, then give time for the Preview window to populate. DO Not alt tab and browse Web or watch videos. Like I said, Ram is a big deal. anything you do on your PC will take up Much needed Ram for the Gen tool to work. Shut down any background downloads or streaming apps or programs. Shut down Discord or any other chat systems. Like I said, Ram is a factor.

You can move the map around with the mouse buttons and tilt the map to a 3D perspective. Use AWSD to shift the map as well. Once it is generated pay attention to the map map in the upper right hand corner of the map window. That name is what you look for when starting a new game. Then you can set your session settings before playing.

Nitro is great too, a few more options. But it can get a little complicated for those not used to digging through the file system.

There are also mod loaders as well. That's a whole nother discussion though.

Random gen.. sometimes I copy a character to two or three random gens because even they aren't big enough to sate my wandering desires since they got rid of unlimited map sizes.
