500% DIFFICULTY

[DpoBa]

is the 34n 111w the only cords for a difficult start ?

[Vertoss]

the most difficult is probably 44N 112W

I Wish there were more hard maps and the hardest all seem to have the same topography too. nevertheless there's some variation if you're okay with only 400%+ maps. Here are some interesting ones I've found:

26 N 148E :All disasters but at least with minerals (Coldwave while twister kills power is fun).
27 N 107W :Barren and hilly.
27 S 34E :Minerals and hilly.
41 N 148E :Most distasters but at least flatish.
4 N 116W :Rich, dusty and very hilly (Credits to Kulkulcan).

Wish we had the ability to preview a given coordinate's terrain before having to launch the play session.

Just survived that map last night and it was quite challenging. My initial base was directly on a cold spot that required warmers even without a cold wave. That alone almost did me in. Challenging but quite fun!

This one only provide a difficulty % of 455% for me.

No, I'm 515% there but I don't have a Paradox login, where if login I've see 535% from some Youtuber.

[Eagle_of_Fire]

I don't have Paradox either and it only give me 455%.

For the highest 'difficulty' play as either russian or paradox. Those got the highest starting difficulties & then you should exceed 500% on some parts of the map.
Reason for the hardest having similar topography is that each topography name, seems to pull form the same map pool.
You got relatively flat, Steep, rough & mountaneous as map-pools, with mountaneous or rough as highest difficulty modifiers, not sure.

In this game that is just a number, It feels a little linnear
and not that much of a challange even a 400%+
The maps are a little boring and repetative as well.
I thought maps were randomly generated?

This is currently less useful than it seems, because the maps are not auto-generated and IMO the game is concealing this fact. The resource locations are randomized to some extent.... I heard you have to restart the game to get this to happen.

Reviving this thread to add some more. All have at least 2 bars on any and at least 2 big disasters.

33N11E
40N49W
31N148W <- this one is my fav out of the 3. You have minerals and some water.

[Eagle_of_Fire]

This topic is completely outdated. Back then you didn't have all the options we have now to artificially up the difficulty.
