Navezgane vs Generated Map in A19?

[El Buhdai]

Which one should I play to have the best experience? Is the procedural generation good or are there still strange bugs that break immersion and make things look weird?

Up to your personal preference. World is nuclear bombed zombie wasteland anyways so i dont feel need for immersion. Makes kinda sense for weird stuff to be there after all that happened.. :D I like to explore new rng world instead preknown everything from one map myself.

If you're a new player, I'd suggest staring with Navesgane. It's a hand-crafted map with a more natural layout and a specific selection of prefabs.

Random is more, well, random. There are some prefabs you won't find in Navezgane, and there will also be more larger town areas but you may have to deal with weird/difficult terrain and roads to nowhere and such.

I greatly prefer random but the game may be easier to learn with Nav.

Hm, I guess the answer isn't as simple as I thought. Thanks guys! Still open to more thoughts as well.

First time I played, I played Navezgane, personally. But since then, I always go random gen.

It takes several minutes to generate a random map, though, so be aware of that. Considering this, you might want to start on Navezgane.

EDIT...Well, I see you are apparently in game now, so let us know what you decided.

Defintely Navezgane, RWG looks attractive because it has more buildings, but those are repeteitive out of place buildings, making the world look bad IMO.

Navezgane in the other hand all the buildings and traders have a logical location, and the world is way more interesting as well.

But if you really want to play on a RWG map make sure to use nitrogen with a list of prefabs to make the world less repetitive.

I tried a couple of saves in Navezgane but eventually switched to a procgen map and I'm still playing that save.
