Synecdoche 2.1.85

Absolutely love this map, its on my WISHLIST for now ... I want it, but in order for it to really work for my player base there needs to be more flat land or flat shallow water for larger clan bases. I've played this map elsewhere roughly 3-4 months ago and thoroughly went all over this map, there was really only 1 spot for larger bases. If you do any revisions in the future, could you utilize the shorelines a bit more ... extend the available flat areas to accommodate larger 5 - 8 man clan base? Pretty please ...

That's something I can try to do, sure! I'm ok with extending the outer shorlines in some areas to accommodate larger bases. However, I will not be flattening any of the inner terrain to accommodate clans or uninspired youtube bases. I mainly see this as a feature and not a bug, since it gives players/groups a reason to create unique bases. Flatter maps let players 'optimize the fun out of' the building experience, and the terrain is meant to foil that to give smaller bases and creative designs an advantage.

I can make a recommendation for a flatter map though, if anyone reading is looking for one, you can try my other map: Isle of Rust, at only half the price!

Awesome, thanks... once I see the updated revision I'll grab it.

I see it was updated today, but no mention of this ^. Any thoughts?

Yes! The Map was updated yesterday to bring the temperate cliffs updated and the arid cliffs will soon follow before forced.

Can someone explain this? Renewal Term: $5.95/month

It's a feature codefling offers that I'm experimenting with.

I believe it works by granting access to the files for 30 days, including any updates that are rolled out during those 30 days. After the 30 days expires, you will need to pay the renewal fee to have access to the latest updates for another 30 day term.

Originally, I wanted to simply offer the map at a set price, which I predicted would cover the cost of development. However, I've been maintaining the map for nearly two years now and it has required alot more effort to maintain than I originally expected. This massive 'World 2.0' update hit particularly hard. It takes up so much of my time that I rarely get an opportunity to work on other projects, and because of that, my income is mostly dependent on sales of this map.

I consider this map to be my flagship product and I take great pride in it. However, the map has been available for quite some time and it seems sales are slowing down since most of the people who would buy the map have already done so. So if I am to continue to support the map to the same high standard, I need to switch to a recurring payment model.

It makes more sense this way, as I would be getting paid more directly for the work I'm doing to keep the map updated and add more cool features and changes over time. I understand that some people might prefer a more 'lifetime license' approach, so I will make the map available on lone.design for a one-time purchase, but at a much higher initial cost. Inflation is also hitting pretty hard and the map's price should more accurately reflect the level of quality it offers. In a way, you can think of the renewal term system as a way for me to keep the up-front cost of the map down. 

Thanks for the detailed explanation and sorry that the experience hasn't been the best for you.
