Posted January 9, 2023 With the addon of cartography to the mix of new things that lets you make maps and add to a wall . Having archaeology giving you frags and tokens , plus information on old deeds . What i would like to see is the means of adding deed info from archaeology , deed name , old owner , mayor , founded and disbanded . Also how long ago and how long it was standing , the same info you would get looking for the cache and printed in book . Being able to make a printed version same as a wall map to add on a wall of old deeds would be nice . I hope i am explaining it properly the idea i have in mind .. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Good idea. Unfortunately they won't. This would mean admitting that their cartography is imperfect. Pride won't let it. Edited January 9, 2023 by Dao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2023 +1 I've been storing all info I gathered in notepad. It would be nice to have them in-game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could use your village stamp on an arch token and then on a map to copy across the info in the token. Would be a massively helpful and cool integration of the two skills - if I wasn't already interested in doing it just for it's own sake for wall maps and war tables, I'd learn cartography just to augment archaeology given a good option for doing that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll clarify https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/193870-cartography-testing-feedback-wanted In this topic, the idea was expressed that cartography is an aimless activity. Except for 2 maps on the wall. But it makes no sense to introduce a new profession and upgrade the skill for 2 maps on the wall. Let's find at least some meaningful use of cartography. It's impossible that you don't understand this. The answer was "We created it. And you just do it to do it." "...you can consider this our official stance on the matter. " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can't argue with the official stance. Edited January 10, 2023 by Dao 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are plenty of uses for the skill, and if you're not interested in those uses that's fine - you don't have to do it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
