    I am not sure if it is intentional but when Seafarer is chosen you will get a bit strange enviromental conditions
    -only birch. Where there with all other start condition (using the same map) would be other trees like spruce there is nothing.
    That also makes gathering pointless early in the game. When your foresters has been planting for some time you could turn to gathering but by then you dont really need it anymore.
    -a few scattered wild birds but no big game so hunting is out of the question
    – it seem to be much larger quantity of stone, although that might partly be that is more visible with no trees.

    It is still possible to get going but it is perhaps a slightly bigger challenge than intended?

    I have most of the mods noted as compatible active – nothing else. However the the important point here is that if other start conditions is chosen everything is normal.

    Hi and welcome!

    That’s all intended. Seafarer start is meant to be an Iceland scenario to feature turf houses and for another challenging option besides Survivor. So only little birch forests and no deer but more stone on the ground and also larger bog areas.

    Ah.. OK. Nice idea but I do believe that it is not only me that think “there must be something wrong” when starting a game with Seafarer. Maybe you should include a hint in the description so that more people do not just opt to abort and start with other conditions. Seafarer was actually quite fun and a very different challenge from Survivor or Anders and Ella that I usually choose. Maybe the last line could be something like:

    “Isolated island environment with no dense forest or big game pose a unique challenge for the true Vikings”

    Good idea to provide a hint about the different environment. Would be a shame people quit seafarer maps because they think it’s an error.
