Map of New Britannia

Seriously what is going on with the compression artifacts on your maps man ... it's really bad

The other guy doing map updates is providing clean versions - it must be photobucket or something.

 

Does the text not come across clear and sharp?

The background layer is a totally different issue and I won't be changing to a higher res. background until the new map is completely revealed. I'd gladly do it now if is was as simple as pulling in new layers as easily as you can in Photoshop or Paint.net, but it's not. It takes some prep work to bring in a new base layer and then there is the rivers file which requires even more prep work.

 

I'm going to go ahead and say that these maps are pretty sexy. Thanks for the work Count Napoli!

 

You're very welcome O'Sullivan. If the maps are sexy they must be readable , but I'll look into a sharper base map with an overlay of the rivers again. Hopefully their won't be a need to resize either of them which is what I had to do the first time around since they didn't sync up.

 

Do we know whether the world will be flat or round (e.g. can you sail around to the other side of the map once the full map is revealed)?

I can't remember from the Ultima games I played whether that was possible.

 

The world is round This was revealed in the Benefactor Cloak Symbol. There's a thread discussing that here.

 

Right on! Thank you kind sir.

 

Map data from reveals provided in Chapters 3, 4 and 5 have been added as well as the volcano on Hidden Vale.

 

Do you have it in better quality?

 

I'll produce a better base layer once the new map is completely revealed.

 

Thank for all your efforts!
Down the road this can also be very useful to estimate the total number of persistent player housing available in the world.
Once all cities, towns and villages are known that number will be rather clear =)

 

And this is just an island. The mainland is way much mot bigger.

 

May I suggest to change the green fonts w/ white outline to a different color? Somehow only their white outline shows. Good job by the way.

 

I'm pretty certain that this island is the mainland. It was called an island continent once and if I remember correctly the Oracle was said to be housed on the mainland; it has already been revealed that the Oracle is located in the city of Brittany.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was actually trying to get the region text to blend it with the background. I don't think the names need to complete for eye focus with all of the other data that could be put on the map. I'm afraid it would just look too cluttered. With that said, I put the white boarder around the text to make it a bit easier to read and made the test much larger too.

 

I thought it would interesting to plot the campaign of the Obsidian Empire Army over the course of the novel. The plan right now is to chart each chapter's trek with alternating colors. Here is the first version:

 

Im not so sure, check this out:



There seems to be a lot more land that comprises the whole world of SotA. Maybe Novia is just for episode 1, but Im pretty sure this will be the final map we will play on

 

There is an option in photobucket that scales down the image when uploaded. Maybe thats the problem, cause honestly I cant seem to be able to make out the letters. Please check it. Thank you.

EDIT: I know about it because I used to make desktop images of 1900+ and it scaled them down 800x600 which was lame.

 

Ok so I reread about the world of SotA and the central island of Novia is the landmass we will be playing on during first episode. The rest of the continents will be revealed in episodes 2-5

 

hahaha what??

I call shenanigans! Please don't post misleading information like this on the forums without some sort of documentation or proof. Rumor-mongering like this can damage the reputation of the game and drive away possible backers.
