Personally, I tend to capture Thrylos Crossing the most, since it’s close to the Nimbus Sea spawn point and isn’t as awkward to use as Cassia Bay’s base design.
Thoryn’s Refuge for me, but apparently that too is a popular choice.
So far, I’ve only built on Whispering Caverns and Ierochos. I had a better experience with Ierochos, but that’s probably just because I never tried to build walls.
Cassia bay is good because it has capabilities of a military fortress. Its hard to get an attack off because you can see people coming and they have to weave their ship through pillars, eliminating the element of surprise. You can then be prepared for when they arrive, making it easy to defend.
Harvest Island.
First Island I ever claimed, has such a nice atmosphere
I like harvest too, I agree
tied between silverhold and tidecliff
tidecliff, nobody tries to claim it whatsoever so i can just leave and be fine
Bronze sea
-
thorin refuge
I just generally like thorin refuge as its quite a nice place for like a civilization, where you basicly put npc and stuff -
whispering caves
I really like this island due to basicly it gives you a blank canvas for you to build stuff upon, the terrain is great as you can build a fortress with the u shape on the middle -
blackreach island
A very foresty island, where you cna build a very interesting jungle civization
Nimbus sea
- shale reef
A very large island as well, wirh good natural beauty, and spires, good for building and also farming
Sandfall Isle, Drakos Arch, Claw Island
Blackreach island definitely, it just has a very nice vibe to it, i like how its probably the only island on which you can hear actual wildlife on
In terms of Bastion/Marketplace/Agriculture build
Bastion
-
Thrylos Crossing
Natural high elevation, ruined fortress structures, middle of sea location and nearby to Ravenna -
Ierochos
Similar to Thorin’s due to natural elevation, high defensibility, good for clan HQ’s since it’s at the far end of the map -
Whispering Caverns
One of the “large” claimable islands, 15 infamy instead of 10
Natural rock formation creates a curtain wall around a natural harbour
Outwards rocky spires provide good firing arcs for defensive cannons and mortars
mmm mushroms
good secret treasure cache
Marketplace
- Sandfall Isle
Very highly trafficked
Unique fruit spawns
Cool oasis/waterfall structures, good template for a bazaar type marketplace
Agriculture
-
Limestone Key
Natural spawning zone for bananers and coconuts, ideal plantation
Flat landmass, no terraforming necessary -
Harvest Island
It’s in the name
Ideal location for a terrace-style farm
Natural pumpkin spawn
High traffic area, several bounty/assassination spawns
probably missing a bunch of good ones
