Kingdom Gone

Backstory: The previous ruler got complacent, a small slip-up in water management resulted in the king and his people having to flee the toxic waters. Can you do better and rebuild? Fix up the old fortress, send your workers out into the lands, survive the seasons. About the map: A different type of game-play is going to be necessary to establish a sustainable colony. Although there does appears to be plenty of fresh water, beware, it's an illusion. In fact there is a distinct lack of flowing clean water so you really have to make the best of what's available. Later in the game you'll discover some good water sources but they're going to need infrastructure to get the precious liquid to where you need it. In the mean time, don't waste any! Due to the lack of flowing clean water, the harder your game settings, the harder it gets to survive. Droughts are not really your enemy other than the usual "don't run out of drinking water" story. However, badtides is where the danger really is. The longer they last, the longer they will hang around like a bad smell afterwards! Map size: 150 x 150 Underground ruins: 4 Warnings: - Hard mode will be a challenge as badtides get longer. You think you can just irrigate your way to safety? Good luck! - Don't grow your population too fast. - Beware what you demolish, sometimes you get more than what you bargained for...! Tip: A useful mod to include (but is not required) in your play-through is going to be "Staircase" by KnatteAnka. The spiral staircase is useful for those tight corners. Final thoughts: I've tried to create something different with this map, hope you enjoy it, your feedback is welcome.
