My Review

This premium seed is a treat for anyone -- beginner or seasoned player. You're going to have a time of it if you camp in the desert areas, but everywhere else is easily accessible and full of trees, caves, and resources. You won't run out of things to do in this one. Ironically, even though all the islands are connected by isthmuses, I spawned on a tiny desert island in the middle of nowhere and had to swim to someplace more reasonable.

Map

This map is basically a series of islands connected by (in some cases) rail thin isthmuses. Trees are plentiful, but the center of the map is two big deserts separated by a river.

At the top, this thing is going to take some explaining. First of all it's two mountains connected by a flat, tabletop land bridge. Three are three small floaters in the area (one shown) and there is a really nice medium-sized cascading waterfall pouring out of the side of one of the mountains.

At right, this tall waterfall pours down a steep cliff into a sandy valley. The shaded small overhang at right is too small to create creepers. Below that, this is a view of the underground cavern and obsidian generator at 187.17.316.

My Review

This is a fantastic level for anyone -- from the newest of the new to the bravest of the seasoned. You will find something on this level that interests you, I promise. It is incredibly well balanced. There are flat lands for flat people and hilly lands for bumpy people. The southwest corner isn't really a land mass as much as it is a shell that hides the caves. The center of the map is a large, crazy mountain range full of pitfalls and sheer cliffs and sinkholes and craters. They are difficult to traverse, but scenic once you get there. I highly recommend this level.

A small gorge splits this palisade into two. At right, this is a large floater hovering above a hillside. You can build a hut on him at -70.83.60.
