Nice. Thanks, Polar!

Mad Jack Nickname of Jack Churchill who took a (broad) sword (and long bow and bagpipes) into battle during WWII. (Yes, I know it is the wrong kind of sword) Submitted more for a quote of his: “Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.”

Sorry for not updating this sooner Athas North is no more (pls delete): https://independence.yaga.host/#3086,444 Figs 738 GT is no more (pls delete): https://independence.yaga.host/#3090,468 Athas Annex can be deleted: https://independence.yaga.host/#3058,485 Athas Farm Annex can be deleted: https://independence.yaga.host/#3042,445 New location for Athas Farm Annex: https://independence.yaga.host/#3014,491 Athas can be moved down a bit: https://independence.yaga.host/#3088,486 But can stay as noted if you prefer. It is on the highway map, so easy to find. Athas South is correctly marked. Thank you

https://imgur.com/a/f1hKQT2 The highway is reconnected. Much work to be done around it to make it look better, but the main focus was getting the highway reconnected (and bringing the underlying rock layer down (which is what took the most time, of course ) to lower my deed adjacent to this area). There will be one more bridge put in, but the disconnect should be less than a few hours to dig the dirt/build the bridge. There is still a small detour of the highway (5 tiles at the most) that will stay in place until it is all done. https://imgur.com/a/NRJHEGj The above link to where the 3rd bridge will go in. Flat pottery. Lights and stuff will be added as well as some other features. My apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced by this work.

Wow, those sound fun! I've never wanted to hunt for artifacts, but suddenly I would like a few of those :)

Deleted. Info was for temporary sharing.

The highway has been diverted (slightly) while roadwork is being completed heading down from the guard tower at the top of the mountain to the north. The new road (which may include bridges) will replace the 20 slope highway in that area. Bridges may not go until all the local terraforming is decided on. The highway system is not interrupted and anyone wanting to find deeds for the new exploration can still find their way. The detour is only 4 or 5 tiles.

Thanks, Chakron. For all the hosting/work to date!

https://prnt.sc/CMvwCRTGVF0C This link shows where the "Farm Annex" is currently noted on the map. It should be at the quadrant area just to the south.

Athas: 3087, 457 Athas North: 3087, 446 Athas South: 2096, 548 Athas Annex: 3058, 486 Athas Farm Annex: 3043, 447 There is an "Farm Annex" on the map north and northwest of my deeds that is incorrect. That reference refers to Athas Farm Annex and it is to the south a bit from where it shows on the map.

58 AH can see It seems vibrant.

deleted. i found the info on another post.

If implemented, please give an option to not use one at all.

While I can see you put a lot of thought into this, I just don't think there are ever going to be lots of freely roaming horses or bison, no matter how high they make the spawn rate. And the other suggestions will only perpetuate the leading away or killing ones found in the wild. Either for their hides or (leading away) a source for buffalo milk. Additionally, with the requirement to kill 20,000 animals and obtain 90 fight skill to complete that book/section of the journal, wild horses and bison will never last long in the wild. The miscarriage idea would make me hate breeding. As it is, the original birth expectancy can be up to 11 days and sometimes server restarts (i assume this is what does it) changes my timers, so it might be 14 or 15 real life days total before a baby is born. To have it then randomly miscarry due to server population, which is outside my control, would be extremely disappointing. After years of breeding, when I am expecting new foals, looking for them is the first thing I do every day when I log in. If people can't find bison or horses (or cows/sheep/etc), I suggest asking someone who has a pair to breed a pair for them. I have happily done this many times with many types of animals including bison (always for free). I understand finding your own in the wild is "more fun", but it might be better to focus on it giving people the opportunity to interact with other players.
