Creating Map
See World Generation page for more advanced details

You can leave default Trailblazer settings for a good experience of all the game has to offer, although it is advised to change the map type to lowland lakes/plains for your first run as other map modes provide prohibitively uneven terrain or are lacking in resources.

Placing your Town Center
You will now need to place your Town Center before you can do anything else, note that the center itself offers little use besides safety during raids + some desirability so its not critical exactly where you place it, as long as the general area is satisfactory.

Note:
 * Press F4 to toggle between different resource views (switch to quantity view)
 * Press f to toggle the fertility view

Things to look out for:
 * Wolf dens will destroy your villagers in the early game if you settle close to them, so try to steer clear
 * Deer herds, which are an excellent early game of food and will provide important resources like hides and tallow
 * Enhanced fishing spots. While fish can be gathered around any water body, enhanced fishing spots provide a 50% bonus, which makes them on par with deer herds
 * Fertile Land. Find this using the fertility view (f). Settling near high fertility land will make farming easier (but its not critical)
