To be honest, shortly after than last post, I grew bored of Sauerland. There are parts of the map which don't appear to be finished and there's nothing super interesting about it.
Taviana on the other hand is a truly beautiful land...


Full of interesting places to check out, like Sector B and very little, if anything, needs to be added. The game already has AI (in sector B only) but murderous and deadly heli patrols on the mainland. Lots of landmarks and features to see...

This particular version of Taviana is a mix of Origins and Epoch. Some clever person used the leaked 1.7.7.1 (?) Origin server files, mixed in the 1.7.9 Origin Client files with Epoch 1.0.5.1 thrown in for good measure. The result is brilliant!
Not all of the Origins stuff is available however - the player house system has been simplified to a single "Build Level 1 Hero House" command on a crate or gem and none of the building materials (cement, rocks, etc) are available but it still works. There's a dealer you can visit to buy the houses and you can see what is available.

It's not too hard to set up, similar to Epoch which a couple of extra steps. You can find a starting point
here. There's also a second alternative
here.As much as I enjoyed the couple of months I spent on Taviana I personally found some of the Origins modifications to the map to be jarring and not fitting in such a beautiful place.
