Velius [ALPHA]

Description
Velius

Velius is a rp map, based on a world Aknyx and Eferhilda created some years ago and then adapted into Ark.
Divided into regions that are controlled by two "Kingdoms" the idea is for diverse character interactions and telling the story of the heroes from seasons past.
Explore the vast lands and discover the secrets held here.
From the depths of the dangerous yet bountiful oceans, giant redwoods that are the heart of one of the kingdoms.
The haunting beauty hidden in the frozen north where dragons once soared and the scorching sands protecting the oasis of the other Kingdom. And so much more...

Development Status:
As of writing the team behind Velius has decided to halt development of the map in ASE and carry on in ASA.
While there will be no more content updates in the steam workshop, bugfixes will still drop if needed.
We're grateful to everyone who supported Velius over the years and hope to see you on it's next iteration!

Details
Map File: Velius_P
Mod ID: 2790161784
Map Size: 25% bigger than The Island.
Current Completion: 44%

Ingame Map
The greyed out areas in the map are unfinished.


Biomes

Redwood (100%):
Being home to the kingdom of "Akamu", this old forest extends over the majority of the northern island, featuring ancient wood growths, an aberrant island and the core of the kingdom, "Akamu City". Reachable through the mines of the city, a bioluminescent chamber lies underneath the redwood.
Back on the surface, a mountain range towers through the biome, with meadows and the autumn redwoods clinging to its slopes.
At the very border of the biome, a canyon separates the eastern redwoods from the adjacent snow biome at sea level, giving easy passage to boats and water creatures in this region of the map.


Snow (100%):
Heavily dominated by the second mountain range of the map, this biome is home to an abandoned wyvern trench in the frosty mountains and is surrounded by tundra and the marshlands to the south.
The ocean features an arctic subbiome here with icebergs on the surface and red kelp in the depths.


Disclaimer
There are neither flyers, nor tek dinos on this map.
Velius uses custom supply crates and dino spawns, the map might not be affected by mods editing the vanilla loottables and dinospawns.

All right, thanks so much! It looks beautiful, so I wanted to see how viable it was to give it a long-term shot. I am on ASA also, but it's running so poorly I came back to ASE for now lol

@Feralkyn While there aren't any obelisks, i did put the 3 obelisk terminals on the map, so you can do transfers. (Green can be found south of the mountains in the grasslands, blue far east in the tundra islands and red is in the unfinished desert area, also on an island)
While only ca. 40% of the maps area got finished for ASE, it still should be pretty playable:
- all artifacts can be found inside the playable areas
- all base game resources are on the map, as well as most of the DLC ones
- Boss requirements were altered to not include any apex drop from dinos that don't spawn
- the 3 basic bosses from the island can be summoned

Just curious (and sorry if I missed it) but how finished is the map overall for ASE? Are there obelisks/ways to upload etc.; is it playable as a relatively finished map? Thanks!

@|Little Pest|
Hi, while i'm not sure what the first half of your comment means, first off: I'm very sorry to the players who remain on ASE

As of writing the team behind velius decided to halt development on this version of velius and continue development on ASA
While the remaster definitely has some issues, it's also the version of the game with live support and new content.
But honestly, speaking as the map dev of the team, even if those two weren't a factor, i would still want to go over ASA because of something else:
The dev kit. Working in the old dev kit was a slog with lengthy loading times, while the new one not only loads significantly faster and crashes less often, but also offers some new opportunities for mapping

All of that being said, i'll update the description here to reflect that, i did announce it on my discord, but honestly just forgot to update the steam workshop text, so thx for reminding me

Good day! The author, tell me, will this card not be thrown at the regular version? Many of us cannot afford an ASA and would like to see it in the ASE.

Appreciate the kind words! Actually, an update is planned next month so stay tuned ;)

Glad you are enjoying it! We have a lot planned for it and are still actively working on it.

I love the little taste i've had of this so far and really look forward to future updates. Lovely

Appreciate it! Taking out time to make sure it is done right and has the most unique feel out there. :)
