Overview

Home Island is the island where you build on. It is the only location on the World Map, where you can zoom into.

    • warning: this is no longer up-to-date with version 2. **

At the start of a new game, the player has 6 maps to choose from; each with it's own difficulty level, starting resources, land area and terrain types.

Additionally, the player has 6 further options to specify the map:

  • Resources size
  • Resources elevation
  • Forest size
  • Cliffs height
  • Extra ocean chuncks
  • Ocean floor decline

Maps

Currently there are 6 island maps:

New Haven

This is the easiest map, recommended for new players. (Difficulty level: Standard) A mostly flat map, with an wide open starting area and all necessary starting resources close nearby.

The Beach

This map is for advanced players. (Difficulty level: Advanced) A fairly flat map, but with starting area in a desert and most of the island's shores blocked by mountains. Has a second, smaller island.

Curland

This map is for advanced players. (Difficulty level: Advanced) A fairly flat map, but shaped as a C-shaped atoll.

The Golden Peak

This map is for advanced players looking for additional challenges. (Difficulty level: Difficult) A mountainous map, with a steep mountain at it's center.

Insula Mortis

This map is for advanced players looking for additional challenges. (Difficulty level: Difficult) A Jolly Roger-shaped map, with multiple seperated landmasses.

You Shall Not Pass

This map is for expert players. (Difficulty level: Challenging) A map which is mostly a plateau, with the exception of the starting area. Starting area has limited resources.

Island reserves

Each Home Island contains varying amounts of natural resources. The amount of resources mined by Excavators is modified by the resources size modifier on the Map Selection screen while the amount which can be extracted per tile is further affected by the ore mining yield modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. On the other hand, the amount of Crude Oil and Water is modified by Extra Starting Material modifier on the Game Difficulty screen. Any modifier cannot be changed once the island has been founded.
