Niakala

Niakala is a 10km (100km² apparently) semi-fictional African terrain based on geographical data from Angola.

A 10km terrain featuring savanna, woodland, jungle, and a river; along with 12+ villages/towns. Released slightly early due to high demand, but is fully playable. This terrain was designed with cooperation and the idea to easily flow and assimilate with Temppa's Kujari and IceBreakr's Chongo terrains. I saw a lacking of African oriented terrains that were new so I thought I'd contribute.

Villages.
Large Towns.
Savannas.
Woodland.
Jungles.
General terrain area that is miscellaneous enough to be used for multiple purposes.
Custom lighting config.
Real geographical infromation such as the heightmap, gathered from QGIS with the assistance of Adanteh's Game Terrain plugin.

Foliage not all placed yet.
Villages (Mike's Place, and the eastern Cattle Ranch) not placed yet.
Air strip not configured in world config.
Might be a rogue tree or two on a road.

And anyone else I'm forgetting..

Internally this terrain is titled "Kalahari", and it will display as such in your mod folder. I renamed the terrain on the surface as to not confuse it with Kujari (Kalahari was picked based on the region I got the real world data from).

Custom sounds will be coming eventually.
Some additional polish with vegetation and clutter.
Proper airstrip configuration (when I can get around to it, it's hard to miss anyhow).
Suggestions are welcomed, but may not always be accepted or implemented. I'm just one person, so forgive me if I can't respond to them right away or execute them (lots of terrains in the works).
