There should be a dock from southern Tatko to the eastern desert contenent area. Also, the easter side of the desert area needs more trees, if you pop the seedlings for trees into my inventory I'll go planting.

No need for wizardly intervention with the trees, I think we can take care of that part ourselves. ;)
Southern Tatko...?, acius, 2004-03-19 00:39:44
That'd be a bit weird, since that wouldn't match the world map too well.
The reason that there is currently no dock to anywhere from the eastern parts of the continent is simply that I haven't finished building the continent down to a seashore yet. When I reach a seashore (see the codex for a rough idea of how far away that is), then I'll add a dock.
The dock will probably be to northern Coco, btw, since that's what's closest ;-). But this is all idle speculation, as I haven't gotten that far yet.
As for seeds ... bah, pick your own!

Actually, a suggestion., focker, 2004-03-19 16:50:50
If you're talking in terms of fitting the world map, I would suggest changing up the ship routes whenever you build the Continent to the next shore. I've been told that the small, unmarked island in the upper right-hand corner of the crayon map on the Codex page is supposed to to Maiko. Well, if that's true, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the ship that docks on north-eastern Coco Island to go all the way around the Continent (I assume on the northern side), *past* Candle Hill, and then to the southern shore of Maiko island.
Before I go on, let me quickly ask this: In relation to the crayon-drawn world map, where *is* Tatko?
Wouldn't it make more sense for the NE Coco ship to go to Candle Hill, maybe by route of the gulf between Nestha's Teeth and the Dwarven lands (as if that part mattered, I guess); and then build a dock on the eastern shore of the Continent going between there and Maiko?

Ship routes, acius, 2004-03-20 01:20:45
The island with 'Asile' marked on it is Maiko. It's straight east of the continent. I have plants to eventually enlarge Maiko; it should be about three times the size of Coco, though I might shave a bit off that. I am not sure how to go about enlarging things without destroying the Maiko you all know and love entirely; I'll work something out.
Candle Hill is not reachable from the gulf, unless you cross the desert. True, this is not a very difficult crossing, but there is no dock there at present.
The shipping route to Candle Hill is from Coco around the east side of the continent to Maiko, and then around the north side to Candle Hill.
Tatko is presumably straight SOUTH of Coco island. It is very, very far away from Candle Hill.
There is currently no route around the west side of the continent. This may be done later. Nestha's teeth is supposed to be a pretty dangerous area.

Remind me later tonight to read the Codex, if I'm on that is. (I'm going to a wedding in a couple hours, don't know how long it'll be/how tired I'll be afterwards.) I made a mistake in my last post, I got confused and thought that the NE Coco dock went to CH. :P
Anyway, Maiko. Since there's not much of anything at all there anyway, I'd say that adding the extra space onto the western side of the island wouldn't change it too much. The only thing that would really change anything is that you couldn't follow the coast anymore to get to Malap's tree -- and that doesn't matter because if you go directly north of the dock you'll find the river soon enough, and from there it's easy to find Malap's tree.
