Etymology

This seed is part of the math-inspired seed series. The actual equation "e*i*pi=-1" failed me, so I re-branded it "cipie=-1" and came up with a much better seed. In mathematics, this famous equation was put together by a Swiss mathematician named Leonhard Euler. It links the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter (e), pi, and the square root of -1 (i).

My Review

FYI, I don't care about giving Euler credit in this equation; it's all about finding a good X-box Minecraft seed. And I did. This seed is a frosty no-man's land. Almost the entire map is a complete frozen waste except for the very far north of the map where a few intrepid sprigs of grass have taken hold. Trees are as easy to find on this level as luggage at an airport in Cameroon. Don't even consider trying this level if you haven't got a degree in terraforming.

This mountain was the last thing I found as I was unlocking the map. It almost seems to smile at you if you squint. At right, sister spires stretch upwards towering over this shady overhang. You can find them at 301.83.-283. There's one tiny tree in the background -- good to know since it's the only one for kilometers.
