Islands..

Alright.. so so far the sentiments are NO REPLACING. Better to re-use and make new ones. Replacing will probably be cumbersome and prove to be an ungainly process. Now, The more diverse the islands are, the more interest there will be. Islands are completely randomized in the real world. Thus you can make anything you want, as long as it conforms to the laws of physics and is resonably sane and appropriate for the setting. coastal caves, cliffs, flat beaches, lagoons, you can have them all.

Well done guys, Johannes Scherjon and Vanderdecken....I would much rather have new Islands added to "our" caribbean than redo the old ones.....I would like to see them stay, but new ones to add or find would be great.......they all could someday have somethng on them, but not nessessarily "towns". Maybe ones with big enough areas to build your own towns with the Build Set, or maybe treasure quests with more detail, or maybe the Home of Dreaded Natives Head Hunters......or the Cursed Pirates!!!......that would be KEWL!!

Good Work by the way...keep it up
 
I think it wouldnt hurt to have a more diverse area of islands. I like the idea of flat ones with flat areas
so you could use CCC's Building Mod To it full advantage. Plus it would give our game a needed face lift.
New feel to it. I believe everyon would agree that it gets boring sailing around the same islands over and over
again.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing some good variety in new islands. As for the laws of physics, well, why *not* build an island that's bowl shaped with the center of the island below sea level? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Just make sure it has lots of flat space for building and such.

My only concern was that the original islands didn't get changed unrealistically.

So perhaps if anyone had ideas for new islands, they can post their sketches/reskins/concepts here. I'll start as soon as I acquire a new memory card for my camera, so I can take pics of several sketches.
 
I really do like the idea of the random deserted island encounters... you could certainly gain a full cargo hull from such finds. And if the island is marked on the map, and you didn't have enough room in your hold, you could keep going back till you fully plunder the find =)

Like a smugglers stash, or lost pirates stash.

Even a small island with a busted up lifeboat and a dead skeleton, with some loot on it would be fun to find every now and then too!
 
Mmm... the Luck Attribute <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> The least used i nthe stock game... the most used in the build mods. Gotta love it.

Finding an island with a full booty of gold, enough to fill four ships, now that one would be a 1 in 1000000 chance. Unfortunately the rand function doesn't go that high <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
