Atlas - The great move part 3

in gaming •  3 years ago 

While moving away from my regular, familiar island, we made a stop on an island in the seas of South America. Now, we're moving on to Africa!

Although I do like the place I found on the rocky island with lots of height differences, we were not done exploring yet. Next up was Africa, where I was hoping to find an island that would make it easier for me to move around without getting lost inbetween huge mountains.

We ended up at a big island where we found a dock with a village connected to it. There were lots of chickens walking around, the village was pretty cool (and not player-made), and hubby liked the docks!

Sadly though, ofcourse, another player had already claimed this particular place for themselves. They weren't doing anything with it, but there was a claim tower, so this would not be our new home.

Bah!

Annoyed, we kept on sailing along the shores and ended up on a huge beach where, miraculously, I found a big patch of unclaimed sand. So I set down two claim towers and a lumberyard and started building our sea-side home with harbor!

This wasn't the prettiest place, but a nice change from inbetween the rocks. Atleast here, I would not get lost.

I'm pretty happy with having such a huge courtyard! On one side, there's the unfinished harbor, then there's a side with our house, including most crafting stations, there's the side with the big gate and then I build a side with a bar and some tables! I think I still need to put down some chairs though...

I love my little crafting area in this house!

Ofcourse, after building our new home, I wanted to explore more of this island. I found some pretty places, most of which were already claimed. I found one awesome place with a little lake (including fish!), trees, grass and a waterfall with nice views. Problem was, it was also claimed.

However! This claim was almost gone. The player hadn't logged in for almost 10 days. And! There was a small patch of land where I could place a claim tower. It wouldn't give me much land yet, but if I was able to demolish this other player's claim tower soon, the land would automatically become mine.

I will show you this little lake next time!

This new island looks great, has a good view and is not as forested as the old one. Regarding the claim towers, do they have an expiration time? so that another player can demolish it and place their own.

The claim tower stays active as long as you are often around. If you've been away from the tower for 10 days, others will be able to destroy it.

The strategy used to find a good atmosphere is interesting.

Personally, I like a jungle island more, it seems to me that there is much more to explore, and it is more fresh, but it is everyone's taste, although this one also looks good, it is like arid or desert. We look forward to the continuation. Greetings.

I agree with you, I'd rather have an island with a lot of plants and trees, but so far, we've only found ones with huge hills. They weren't easy to navigate. Well, except for my favorite one, but I'm waiting for another player to leave so I can take his spot.

I love these adventure games, one gets so immersed that it seems that one is living his own movie, and best of all is that one has the baton and everything moves to the rhythm of our decisions. I hope to see the sequel soon. Thanks for sharing.

Haha I genuinely thought this was a travel post for the first couple of pics
