Choose a land
Look for an area that is close to Trees, Stone (white rock), and Fertile land (light green or dark green).

The Keep, housing (Hovels, Cottages, and Manors), and most Town buildings should be built on Barren land as Fertile land can be somewhat scarce. However, it is now possible to irrigate and farm Barren land with Norias, Aqueducts, and Reservoirs. Irrigation is also expensive requiring a lot of Stone and Gold. You need at least one Farm per Hovel (6 people). An Orchard can just barely support one Manor (25 people). A 3x3 Farm plot with a Windmill in the center can support about 3 Manors (75 people).

Iron (brown rock) should also be nearby, but is not as important as Stone.

The first thing you'll need to do is cut down Trees so you can build Roads, Hovels, and a Quarry to collect Stone.

You need Stone to build a Forester, to automatically gather Wood, and a Treasure Room, to collect Gold.

Size

 * Small - about 45x45 tiles (around 2,025 tiles)
 * Medium - about 65x65 tiles (around 4,225 tiles)
 * Large - about 90x90 tiles (around 8,100 tiles)
 * Random

In order to build a Kingdom of the Gods with a population of at least 5,000, you need a minimum of 800 tiles for housing and a little more than 800 tiles for farming.

Type

 * Land - mostly a single land mass surrounded by fresh water
 * Island - two or more islands usually separated by deep water
 * Random

Terrain Generation Seed
The size and type of land are combined with a 10-digit number to create a Terrain Generation Seed.
 * LSnnnnnnnnnn = Small Land
 * ISnnnnnnnnnn = Small Island
 * LMnnnnnnnnnn = Medium Land
 * IMnnnnnnnnnn = Medium Island
 * LLnnnnnnnnnn = Large Land
 * ILnnnnnnnnnn = Large Island

Terrain Generation Seeds can be entered in manually allowing maps to be shared.

Write down the Terrain Generation Seed so you can share it or reference later.
