Map of New Britannia

Agreed. I too found the text a little difficult to read. I wasn't sure if that was me, the map, or a combination. Most likely, and sadly, I think a combination. Maybe I should check into getting glasses.

Overall though, I appreciate the effort. It's nice having a map handy. Especially now since we're getting names and locations and such. So thanks and keep up the good work.

 

Here is version 2 with the rest of the revealed names. The lables are now easier to read too. I'll use less fancy font's for the tiny print if I have to, but I was trying to use fonts consistent with the theme. Thank you everyone for your input.

 

Its much easier differentiate between villages, towns and cities once you outlined them. As a prospective house buyer, should I be worried that three of the settlements are right beside volcanoes Great job on the map!

 

Valhold should be a popular place in the winter and as a Real Estate Agent, I can assure it'll never erupt in your liftime. Sign here on the dotted line.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

 

I updated the map due to some of the some of the geographical information revealed in the 6 Month progress demo.

• I added a village -- Kingsport and the "Isle of Lost Vale -- Although the map location is not an island it matches the layout/geography in the video the best. What led me to this spot was the original hexagon map, that had a city in this same spot that never made it onto the artisticly rendered map.
• Reading the conversation between the player and the Owl's Head town guard we discover that Owl's Head which is in "the Vale", isn't part of the "mainland". I had always assumed the larges land mass on the map was a continent in itself, but it sounds like it really is an island so I have labled it "Novia" as some suggested in the first version and also moved the lable of Elysium to the island at the entrance to the Sea of Storms.
• Moving the lable of Novia, also required the movement of Foresaken Vale. Since the Isle of Lost Vale, and "the Vale" are somewhat close, it makes me think that Foresaken Vale may be in the same area.

 

I think red gave a better contrast for the towns rather than green. Great map. Thanks.

 

I agree, and that is why I choose red to begin with, but along the way I suspect other items of greater importance will come along and the need for contrast will be even greater. I'm just planning ahead so that we don't have too much red and make it more difficult to easily see what is what.

I went with a color coding theme:

Green = good/safe
Red = potentially dangerous

I don't expect to make this a rule, but it does make a nice guide.

Thanks for the input though. I'll keep it in mind as I continue to add to the map.

 

Keep up the project, love that someone is doing this!

This update includes the Nov. 1 Story Sneak Peek. Crossing fingers that it's close to correct.

 

Glad you like it.

 

I see what you mean now. I was looking at a copy of the Ultima 3 map and noticed a storm symbol in this area. I'll keep this in mind for future updates.

 

Great Job, thanks

 

You're welcome.

 

Zeppelins are so cool...hopefully they have kodos too...

 

That was difficult to listen to. Hopefully RG doesn't let our bubbles burst by not implementing hot air balloons, but with no mentions of it, I wonder.

 

After today's update there are some changes to make. Going to attempt to decode each map piece.

Piece 1:





New Britannia
Island of (something)

Piece 2:


Brittany (name on the scroll. Does this mean that scrolls denote cities?)
Regalis (name above Brittany)
Spindr____ (can't quite see - right side of the map)


Piece 3:



Looks like this is at the bottom of the map too, near 20 degrees (left side of zero?)

Kuel? (given the use of k from elder futhark in piece 5 I don't think this k is correct but it would be true if younger futhark -- also not confident with the U)
Quel - (replaces the above guess! Just checked the story. See the four lettered word in the middle)
Barren (of Quel - the "of Quel" is off the map, but see the story)
__eter (town at the top)


The Oracle:



Port Graff
To Hidden Vale (arrow)
The Sir (cuts off)


Piece 4

From piece 4:
Ardoris - (possibly the "region" name, although it could be another city? Looks like it should be at the bottom of the map by 20 degrees).
Tempest (west side of the delta).
Rage (east side of the delta).
__ennial _oast (Perennial Coast? That's the words on the left side of the map)


Piece 5:



Piece 5:
This piece is obviously the top left corner

Skrekk (K from elder futhark here. Word to the left of the skull)
Thrones (of Skrekk? story suggests it might be - word just beneath the skull)
Norguard (the runic word underneath, across the trees, and is cut in two - guessing this from the story)

 

Couple corrections in bold.

 

Oops. Thanks.

Single N was a typo
O instead of A was a braino.

 

Jatvardur : No biggity

 

Nice, thanks for doing this . I have a village property deed, this will help as long as all these villages are in game. Town and cities will have village properties on their outskirts I think too?
