I'd like to see more terrain too. Do you have requests I should add to my own?

Snow, maybe at the extreme north or south on some maps

Desert river, some lush grass and bush growing by rivers in wastelands

Small lakes in swamps to liven up the swamp from just "weird tree's"

"More rocky  hills, and less smooth hills: more interesting hills would be nice.

"More lively Mountains": Instead of just those round rocks atm.

Make there appear farmed fields around city edges, on green grasslands that simulate people making foods.
Cities located near rivers should make some tiny fishing huts pop forth near the river, just as background mesh.
Hunters lodge's in/near forests located near cities.

Of course as said by "Stupidity10", make snow landscape near the top and bottom edge of the map:

Different kinds of forests: Just to lively up the current forests, which get bothersome in the amounts of the map they cover. Make it so the editor recognizes which forest is which, and then cover that forest with a given tree sort.

More lush grash, meaby 2-3 grass textures, again make them not blend into each other, but vary the texture depending on the climate or zone.

Also if you work on your generator to make sanddunes larger but less of them, make water a littlebit more... opportunistic creating big water walls (the one splitting europe and afrika for example)

Also try making the map generator create more "regions", meaby put some small feature in certain regions (more bears in one region). Unless that is too much of a hazzle ofcourse .

All these should be considered ideas.

You rock. I'll send this along.

Great thread indeed.

Everyone, please see post more of what you're imagining. If ever there was a case for beta feedback, this is it.

Mountain Rivers!!

If we get arctic then we definitely need icebergs offshore and maybe spells to create them, so water mages have something to use to traverse water. As a sort of water version of raise land.

On that topic the map would be spiced up if all that coastline was broken up by some rocks. Either out in the water or attached directly to the coast to break up the the straight awkward looking cliffs. You could mix some beach in there as well.

As suggested above some sort of ruined cobblestone terrain full of rubble and ruins would really help bring the lore to life. Right now it doesn't really feel like a cataclysm happened. Just small patches of unsettlable ruins that function pretty much like swamps do now.

hmm trying to figure this out hold on lol

having trouble linking my images from dropbox, might be the sizing info im missing i'll have to edit them

ok i can get the picture to insert but its a white out box with an x on it, acting as a link to my dropbox page so i dunno sigh will figure it yout later

i would say the  thread is more about ideas for additional material to complement what is already there, not replace it.

I'm going to echo the comments about the blue canyons. They're great in themed zones and in numbers, but just look wrong in general human ground.

The rivers look nice, but like the canyons they contribute to the cluttering of the map and the hemming-in of growing cities. Hopefully this should be less of a problem once city-snaking gets the chop.

It would also be very nice if the game could make clearer - both in 3d and paper map mode - which tiles were walkable and which weren't.

These are my contributions. Behold them, ye mortals, and despair etc etc.

Lush vibrant green jungles! And orange sand deserts like the sahara (or the desert background found in the E:WoM or FE folder!). River delta's would be cool too. 

I have some new types of rivers in the Stormworld mod, but I'd love to see them in the main game.

(magma, poisoned, blood, corrupted)

I second the request for parts of the world to exist in an "arctic" environment, although not necessarily around the poles.

I would also like to see a "burning land" environment, which is like the burning lands wildlands, with a volcano, and lots of fiery stuff going on. It would be uninhabitable except for outposts.
