Phantasy Free Maps?

[Arcadio]

Hey folks, I've almost finished what I have to do on The Island and I'm wondering which map I'll play next time.

I really liked The Island and wanted something similar in the sense that it didn't have too many fantasy elements like elemental creatures, drakes or gyphons.

Apart from The Island, do you have any other maps with these characteristics?

Thanks.

The Center is the only map without any single phantasy creature (excluding boss guardians).

if you can handle wyverns and golems, you can give a try to ragnarok.

Looking at the official story maps, Scorched Earth has wyverns, giant deathworms, and golems. Aberration has glowing creatures. Extinction has robots, corrupted creatures, floating tardigrades, and a dino that shoots stuff from its face. Genesis has space whales, a size changing creature and a cat that turns invisible.

As for the free unoffocial maps, Ragnarok has wyverns, worms, and lava elementals. Valguero has wyverns and golems. Crystal Isles has wyverns, glowing creatures, and floating islands. Lost Island has (wait for it...) wyverns and rock elementals. Fjordor is just fantasy with portals to alternate realms and (you'll never guess) wyverns.

The Center is the only map that doesn't have fantasy creatures, but does have things like giant ape statues, underwater domes, and a massive floating island.

Basically, the default Island map has the least amount of fantasy of all the maps. For all the other maps, it is just what degree of fantasy you are comfortable with.

The fantastical creatures are actually supposed to be part of the game.

It's actually part of the background lore that the creatures you face in the arks aren't real. They created synthetic creatures. Some are closely modeled on existing historical creatures, and others are based on things that never existed in history or reality. Some were even intended to be part of entire artificial ecosystems that were being modeled, and then salvaged and put into other locations. The golems for example might have been intended to be silicon based life forms, for an ark entirely based on those lifeforms.

Some of the dossiers even mention the fact that some creatures are capable of doing things their earth counterparts never would be capable of. Like the dossier for the megaladon mentions that they're about as intelligent and trainable as most dogs. That's definitely something sharks aren't capable of doing.

But The Center does have a giant island floating in the air unsupported by anything. That's pretty fantasy...

imagine a world with artifical gravity under a dome in space

Thank you all for your replies. I'll take a look at The Center or maybe just start over on The Island with some mods.

In the end I'll play all the maps, I'm just not into it at the moment.

You could always make random maps.

If you're meaning procedural gen, they are rather lacking. No obelisks, no caves, no varied biomes, and a whole host of glitches.
