Yeah, I'm seeing several large desert areas, including two huge ones to the north and south of mudkipzania.
Are there any savannah type areas? Im asking because when I went to the new map on the old server I played on, I found a savannah area that I really liked and had acacia style trees.
Also, What are the red labelled/bordered areas vs the yellow ones?
I can't really decide on a specific sandy zone atm, although I don't necessarily need a massive zone, but I'd like a location with a scenic view.
White borders are states, which can contain multiple regions. Solea and Rift Auspkitan is managed by Atomic and has multiple regions, but for example the Union of Blacraft Socialist Regions contains many regions which different people manage.
Yellow borders are regions, which can contain multiple municipalities. Usually a region is managed/developed by one person, but they can decide themselves how to do it.
Red areas are municipalities. They're usually just names for a small area within a region, but in Yukiland/Chazabethia for example, I think Naru manages Yukitown and Darvince manages Plaidania.
I'm planning to expand into the desert south of Mudkipzania in the future, so if you want your own area, or if you don't want your villa to be a public building, you might want to build it in another place. The edges of deserts probably have the most scenic views, imo they seem sort of boring because they're usually very flat and barren without any special features since the Beta 1.8 update.
The desert near Revolutea has a generated village which could be fun to utilize, maybe (that's the area in the northern part).
Also, landscape can always be epicfied by some terraforming.
And you can see the height of the map showing up as higher altitudes having lighter shades, so very uniformly colored sandy areas are flat.
