Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Yaga said: An isometric map is totally useless as a community map, because it would be hard to place settlements and roads correctly. For example: a straight road would have to be drawn as a bumpy curved line if it goes over mountains, distances cannot be measured properly on an isometric map, mountains hide parts of the map. etc... etc... it's the contours and the gridlines, they make it pretty hard to read the roads. it kinda turns everything into a squiggly mess. I understand what you're saying about the road plotting and i accept the majority rule. I can't think of a solution to please other than maybe remove the gridlines. however Daash is making one of each so it's all good.

Posted January 23, 2017 Heh, the flat/topographical map is the first time we actually have some mapping accuracy on a large scale (yaga map is the perfect example of what you want to achieve). Grid lines are needed if you want people to use the map properly (ie, say where they are instead of just "on the map somewhere north of GD") One improvement could be the major highways drawn over the current paved tiles... with the issue of what is a major highway nowadays. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right, "totally useless" was bad wording You CAN use isometric maps, of course, but they are far from being optimal. In fact I never liked them as (while being "pretty") they are highly inaccurate when it comes to coordinates, distances and locations. Remember? Years ago, when the servers were young, we actually started out with self-drawn flat maps! Topographical maps are just optimal (just have a look at this example: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/54656-detailed-map-of-the-serendipity-bay-area/). But you are right: the current map may deserve some visual changes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
