Tell me some of the coolest maps you encountered

[Bench-Kun]

Describe your coolest world(s) in details
And give the seed if possible

[hallaloth]

Don't have the seeds.

I've had a worlds where some low mountains were by the starting meadows creating some truly gorgeous flat-ish building zones that would have looks like an amazing backdrop.

I had one world where a plain was directly behind my Elder Spawn.

I've had a few worlds where my Elder Spawn was on the water, or Yagloth's was. . .sailing up to that the first time or two is a treat.

My current world has a MASSIVE central continent that runs almost fully north/south with every biome accounted for and makes for. . .interesting sailing trying to find new swamps

i find it weird that ppl use so many maps, yet i've played valheim since day one and only ever been on 1 map lol. i mean... the map is pretty big so.... everything you need is there.

The coolest had the "Mountain of Dawn" a very-very high mountain right there on the starting island. It had a couple of wolf caves and quite a bit of silver. It was fun to put all that silver in a cart and throw it off the top of the mountain. Died a few times from falling trying to get it.

This seems to be a very cool world seed.

As for myself, I really enjoyed this seed: yhWc8g9Nig

Interesting! I see close Modder and lots of wolf caves. What did you like about it?

I restart maps with most of the big updates so that new biomes aren't messed up. Maybe unneeded but I've read a lot of stories of messed up maps from the updates.

I use a pretty large starting island map right now, "vikingrind". Has most biomes and all three traders on the starting island.

W2hUEJUEcM is a VERY good starting seed for almost any kind of player. There's the first 4 biomes on the starting island with no sea travel at all. You could debate a 5 biome start with this seed.

The seed is the string of letters and numbers either next to, or right under your worlds names.

QlPRwbnI7e - This has a pretty neat starting island, it's a great map for people who love sailing. The Swamp to the North is perfect for making a base camp in the tiny bit of Black forest on the shore.

L0MGLGj8B5 - Is another variation of this exact same map, which perfectly highlights how predictable and boring the terrain/map generation is, if the height map doesn't move, the map doesn't change, even the biomes are in the same place.

GPnenJbv4I - This one is actually slightly unique, spawning on a sprawling continent, if you like fjords, this is the map for you.

xMsAujD5HC - This one has one of the largest black forest biomes I have ever come across just to the East of spawn island, also a decent sized mountain biome in the North of the spawn island.

what do you mean the height map? you can change how high the ceiling is?

That's fine to play on the same map, you get use to it and know where every thing is.
That gets a little boring to a lot of players.

I like to start a new map once I get to and defeat Yagluth, the planes are bad enough for my cripple hands but there is no way I can move forward after that.
Every map is different and you get to explore a new map, this is what I like to do.

Lots of games use what is called a "height map" to generate terrain, it's basically just a coloured image that tells the game how high and low the terrain should be (blue for higher, red for lower etc), this generates the islands and land formations where the map is taller and the oceans and rivers where the map is lower.

If you have ever taken the time to look at the maps in Valheim you would notice it generates the exact same islands and oceans every time, it just shifts them up/down or left/right a bit.

if anyone has a mega continent seed that spans all of the biomes from north to south that would make for a great immersive mode server. I haven't tried public servers yet nor the hardcore mode, I just play solo or with friends. But if super continents exist they would be splendid for a no map or portals mmo survival experience.
