Man I really want to play this map but I as soon as I spawn into the stone ring I get wiped out by seekers. I guess there is Mistlands right next to the spawn point? I hope this gets fixed, I am dying to build all the cities of Tamriel.
I'm working on a fix, when they added mistlands it messed up my biome placement. I just never got around to fixing it. I will hopefully release a new version soon.

BIG WARNING HERE: This map mixes the different biomes in strange ways, and you get Fuling towers and seekers spawning in the middle of the meadows biome, particularly around the stone circle. This map is best used for either a challenge to see how long you can survive, or used by a character that's already at the Mistlands level, because otherwise you will die pretty quickly after spawning in. I managed to sneak away from the stone circle and explored a little bit, but then nighttime hit, and I got killed by seekers. There are these tiny little spots of different biomes throughout, and enemies can spawn there at night, making for a very challenging world, but it can definitely be fun too, so long as you're prepared to die a lot.
Yeah its very out of date and the biomes were all messed up when they added Mistlands. I'm working on a fix now to clear things up. Hopefully I can release it soon
It's a masterpiece. Unbelievable. If you add roads and cities, then we won't have to wait for TES6.:D. I noticed small buildings from Skyrim, as well as a path to the throat of the world, and I was glad. In general, why make a multiplayer mod in Skyrim if we already have a whole Tamriel :D. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Amazing map in terms of geography. I think you nailed it! I like that the map isn't overly filled with hills. The more leveled landscape makes it easier to build. I really like that some areas are basically meant to have buildings (Solitdude or Riften for example).
I do wanna criticize the biome distribution though. While I do like the sprinkles of different biomes in another biome as a concept, it doesn't work like it should. For instance, and that's the biggest critique, it doesn't really work to have Swamp biomes near the starting area. Once I spawned in I got obliterated by Draugr and Blobs that spawned nearby. This essentially makes the map unplayable. I also think that it's bad having Plains inside of a Black Forest, as it causes Fueling Camps and Tarpits to spawn. The little pockets of the Mistland Biomes make for really weird fog bubbles that look terribly out of place. They also don't add anything gameplaywise.
What does work though are the following biome combinations:
Meadows + Black Forest
Black Forest + Swamp (all of Black Marsh i.e. the southeastern part is amazing, EXCEPT for the few pockets where Plains and Swamp meet near river Niben)
Mountain + Deepnorth (obviously)
Mountain + Black Forest
Mountain + Meadows
Meadows + Plains
The rest don't fit together. Also I think, for progression reasons, there shouldn't be biomes above Black Forest in the Cyrodiil area. As stated above, it can make the map unplayable.Mistlands biome should really be confined to Morrowind / Vvardenfell. I really hope you make an updated version addressing these issues. I really have to emphasize again how great the map is though! Amazing additional Island locations, amazing continent terrain! Love it!

Any thoughts on doing an Ashlands update as well?

now the ugly part, in my version i cannot see haldor the merchant and eikthyrs offering table.
some biomes and enemy spawnpoints aren´t good placed.
i hope there´ll be an updated version in the future, maybe after firelands update

The river is supposed to be wide enough for ships to sail through to the capital its not that narrow lmao
The river is plenty wide for ships, much wider than the one in Oblivion x-x
I only wish there was a server with already build structures. That would be awesome
