Starting Map ?

[aramoor50]

Just bought the game and wondering which map is best for to start on. Looked at guides and some videos, so have some idea off how to play, Just a bit confused with the amount of map choices.

I guess you best play the tutorial first and then play on one of the older maps in the centre of the map chosing screen. The western most map Defenascir and the eastern most map Dofras are better played when you have familiarised yourself with the gameplay and mechanics.
If you have any questions just ask. Have fun

Edit: I guess Wiht-Land is best to start in. The map has 4 towns.
You can chose any of the starts. If you want to have an easier start to familiarise yourself with things you might want to pick landlord, business owner or man's best friend.

I start defenascir, but as Beggar, becoming a farmer , farming Vegetables, Eggs and Fruits. And try to trade. It lets u quickly learn a bunch of stuff, about the skills, the markets, the trading and so on. And its funny to be a beggar at the beginning und end to be very rich and powerfull.

You cant start as a beggar on Defenascir map - I just checked.
Defenascir is an empty map. There are no markets to trade and no inhabitants either. Just the odd wandering traveller or soldier.
The 3 starts possible all start with an axe which is absolutely essential and also a leather pack and initial money. Money and other stuff varies.

Edit: Beggar is possibly the most challenging start as you only have a bit of food and a few coins.
I started as a Beggar on the new Dofras map which has a town but also lots of space to found new towns because it is a challenge. But based on my experience I didnt beg but gathered vegetables and fruits and caught fish. However, I would not advise it for a player who is new to Saelig.

Edit: Note that you want to stay healthy ie make sure you are well fed to increase your immunity. Avoid being hungry or tired or cold in winter (icons for stomach, energy become red) which all decrease your immunity and expose you to risks becoming ill.

Yeah sorry i dont mean defanascir, Whit Land i mean, the Map with 4 markets from the start.

U can roam around there sell at good prices , and try to use trading around this 4 towns to help coming up. I know the first trys are not that quick, but as i wrote u learn quickly , how stuff works. Just to learn how much of a difference it is to have a skill of 10 in Vegetable or 50 is a small but good experience about how the Skill really influences you.

Yes I know it can be fun taking a challenging start and work your way up. But you can also make mistakes or just be unlucky. If you dont know how to raise your immunity level and get ill during the first couple of days and the little medicine that is on the market at start has been bought up by the time you have the money that can get frustrating.
When a new player whom I dont know asks I have no idea what kind of frustration tolerance s/he may have, how old she is or how much experience she has with computer games. I therefore give advice for an easier approach which is more likely to result in an encouraging experience.

I agree, Whit land is better map to start with, it gives a decent amount of empty plots with some businesses at the start to get jobs with. It gives a good amount of options from the start to build from.
