Was getting bored of 7 Days but then I found a user-made map, on 7daystodiemods website, which enlarges/alters the game's default "hand-placed/created" Navezgane map. Most of us long timers are bored of/never use the vanilla Navesgane map, because, y'know, it's static, and the towns are all tiny/spread out. But it has much more artistic charm, unique POI's and terrain features etc. I've tried other oddball user-made maps and didn't like them too much, but this one is great. Combines Navez's unique personality which helps inspire exploration more, with some RWG styled features. Suits my nomadic/roaming style to a T.
Sadly as with any map, I'm sure I won't care to play/use it more than once or twice, but at least it made the game less boring for a bit, again.
I'm still waiting for that beavers city-building game to be not-early-access. And a couple others, all in EA for at 3+ years now. Maybe in another few years. Every time I see a new early access "release" claiming they hope for " a year in early access" I just laugh. Just fess up and say 3-5+ years.
