A cold start with a nearby village and a fast track to an Ancient City.

Worth it for

  • Village within easy reach for early game needs.
  • Ancient City is relatively close for a powerful mid-game objective.
  • Good variety of snowy biomes for exploration.

Worth knowing

  • Spawn area is somewhat flat and lacks immediate dramatic terrain.
  • No lush caves directly under the spawn area.
  • Long travel for some later-game structures like a Stronghold.
