Wonders of Water
*Featuring 3d water physics, natural overhangs and flexible starts.
*196x128
*To give meaning to a building on the side of a mountain, the flavor text is told as if four families headed up river, pulling all they need for a fresh start, in an old expedition cart.

The Folly of Talis
Talis was actually one of the good ones. If Ol' Kazko, from the legends, had been pulling the cart, that old mountain path still would have crumbled beneath us today. Talis knew this wasn't just a setback, No, this catastrophe meant an end to our journey. You could see it on his face, as Talis realized the severity of this situation for all of us. We hadn't even made it very far this morning, having just camped the night before in the sheltered cliffs by the waterfalls, barely a stones throw away, Yet, we could have been far worse off in the fall. If the broken cart hadn't landed here, had it kept tumbling down... Well, we will just acknowledge the blackness of the deep water below.
Having come up from the foothills, though, none of us knew of the plateau visible through the next pass and the potential it held.
Maybe, just maybe, the Folly of Talis will lead to that new beginning we were searching for when we set out on this pilgrimage.
Authors Challenge...
I know it is silly, but Talis has always been my favorite Timberborn Beaver. Please make this a redemption story!
If any of your starting 12 is a "Talis", you win!
1: Experience a run with that alternate playstyle/Faction you have been meaning to try.
2: Create a thriving colony with Well-Being above 30 (42,57, more...This may require mods that give a well being boost)
3: After launching your Wonder, connect or just follow the path over the mountain pass above the original spawn in point and head off with an expedition cart to make an even better colony at the flexible start set-up, at the 'bottom' of the map. *
* to me this means a more challenging start, still with plenty starting trees, berries and slopes for a fresh run from another perspective on the same map.
This map is the only one I published that is made with only the in game editor.
