7 Beautiful Map Seeds

[Snake]

There are a lot of really great things about this game, but sometimes it's hard to generate a map that offers anything unique or different from the last map I played.

I was surprised to find a lack of map seed information out there on the web, so I generated a bunch of random maps, selecting 7 of my favorites from the bunch and fine-tuned each to accentuate what I think gives it a unique look.

Note: It's not enough just to copy the "seed", as a few options can drastically change the map output. It is safe to change the size of the map, lakes, islands, and data on the land tiles themselves (hemispheres, rivers, resources, etc)

#1 - "Ocean River" - 3 continents separated by a thin line of ocean tiles. A few lone islands in a large ocean for the explorers

#2 - "Behemoth Continents" - for those who like sprawling land-based games with realistic-looking land masses

#3 - "Archipelago" - Giant ocean with a few scattered islands. Land is scarse. Each territory will be protected and highly contested

#4 - "Ye Olde Continent Map" - Good starting map. Each player should have a decent-sized chunk of land to call their own

#5 - "Game of Thrones" - looks vaguely similar to the landmasses in the books. Closest thing I could find just plugging in numbers

#6 - "Duel" - Two large, circular continents, separated by "gateway" islands that can monitor anyone crossing to the other side

#7 - "Nunavut" - Similar to Canada's Northern territories. There are lots of feathery land masses, lakes, oceans, and inland seas

Add more in the comments if you find more neat-looking seeds :) To reveal the whole map on the first turn, add "--enablemoddingtools" in the launch options in your steam library before you launch the game. Once you've created a map, press [Enter] to get into the chat menu and type "/lightmeup".

This is pretty nice, i'd like to give them a try but with the new expansion coming out i fear the seeds will change and these will all be useless.

I didn't try any of these yet, but I love the idea and some of them look very interesting to play !

This is great. Has anyone else posted some really great seeds?
