    We have a long way to go before release. Maybe the overland map will be part of the polish for R6. For me I'm not a huge fan of switching to the overland map, but I'm willing to give it a chance and see how it progresses.

    I would have said something but, as you have surely seen by now, I didn't want to steal DarkStarr's thunder. He has a post on the overworld map now somewhere.... go find it!

    Huh... I called it. No response because of a mega-post type thing.

    Pulls up forum map to try and find the post.

    Hey, why don't we have a proper 3D map for navigating the forums!

    ;)

    That is the secret hidden $20 million stretch goal. Each forum member gets their own forum navigational map. :p

    I agree. This forum just is not atmospheric and immersive enough!

    I enjoyed Release 5 and was very pleased, especially because this was still early alpha state. Thank you Chris for giving us a look behind the scenes.

    Got a true Ultima feeling during playing, therfore I sorted SotA within my Ultima game bar :)

    Good job, keep up the good work!

    OoooooooooooooooH! I lIke this
    "Then we have a spell that senses danger that shows you where people have been dying in this dungeon and put up small ghostly tombstones at the spot where players have died"

    I would like to see you do less and not update a test every month, I would rather see one test every three months, with a lot more content, Perhaps do it over a long weekend. cheers.
    My only crit was the dungeons were too dark overall, Perhaps make the torches (handheld) give off a bigger light radius, But overall the new lighting was the mutts nuts m8 cheers!

    Good post and I am extremely pleased with Rel 5 and 6 as the 1st 3 because of my older system and internet speed I was unable to play at all. Just mostly log on. I was able to play both releases and found I would like a few more days of testing :p
