Verdant means "(of countryside) green with grass or other rich vegetation." so it suits the area well.

Fire-making:

Cowboys can use flint/steel to create fire, perhaps Native Americans can rub together two pieces of wood to create fire in the natural way. Possible benefits/weak-points to either side?

It's possible that Native Americans could use the ashes in some kind of ritual? Being that they're supposed to be closer to nature than Cowboys I think that would be a neat idea (Rituals could be used to gain temporary bonuses?).

Fishing should be similar to the (old?) Unholy Nation fishing system. (Fish bob at your rod and you pull them up before they get away).

Rivers open the gold-panning job. I don't play Ol'West so I don't know if this is in the game yet, but in the real Old West gold-panning was a major profession, and used to happen in rivers.

Looks really similar to Era's Countryside

Minus the air pollution, lol.  

Looks cool, wish era had some sort of similar update.

Someone please work on a new water tile, that one is an eye sore

Again, please.  

Man, Alpho. You did it again just right after the Mining Update! How many great ideas do you have in your head? I'm amazed at your creativity for this. O_O

At least it's not going to take Ol' West's staff team 4 years to finish it.  

I seriously liked it!

Yes there should be more grasses in Ol'West, but not too many grasses. It still need to dirts, half grasses and deserts perhaps?

That's what the grass map extension is.

Well 'Howl', Coop's thread on graalians about countryside from 2011/2012 (don't feel like searching for it) says otherwise. So please, get your facts right before you question me.

On another note, this update looks amazing. Can't wait to check it out when it comes out.

Sorry it was my bad, I made a mistake, it was actually 8 months.



Oh, it feels so good correcting someone who thinks they're right.  

I got a new water tile  

Coming summer 2014 @era countryside?
Wow

He did say on the thread on "graalians". Era-go hasn't been around long enough to have a thread 4 years old.

I suggest you back off a bit and grow some common sense mate. If releasing a grassy area is copying Coop's countryside update, then goddamn, might as well go criticize any server with more than one level's worth of grass.

I swear to god, your posts get trashier and more redundant as time goes by.
