Etymology

The Fender Stratocaster was the guitar of choice for Jimi Hendrix. He used it, among other places, when he performed his rendition of the national anthem at Woodstock.

My Review

The center of this map has one gigantic mass of mountains. You're going to find a ton of gravel as you travel around; no worries finding flint on this one. But the biggest feature (and the reason that travel is such a bear) is the epic quantities of water. The central island has few trees, so you either have to waste time planting more or head to one of the satellite islands. This means swimming... far! This seed is not for noobs.

Map

The center of the map has your mountains. The southwest corner is 90% flat with a single massive mountain making up the other 10%

In the distance, you can see a collection of spires and buttes past the large crater that's in the foreground. At right, two sailfin arĂȘtes spring up out of the flatland prairie.
