User:64k/Map Plan End 2024

From The Mana World

I have ideas for map related contributions. I am here to make suggestions and ask for your feedback. I will probably need a lot of feedback, mainly on Goal2.

Goal1: Explore the west coast of Argaes

Rational: It would be nice to see the west coast.

Ideas:

  • There could be an Observatory on the west coast, with a large telescope.
  • The observatory could have a researcher or be abandoned.
  • The telescope is there to see the other continent even further west. Maybe the telscope is broken and works at some point in the future.
  • The observatory could be on the small island west of Asphodel Moor.
  • There could be a shipyard near the observatory with a half finished ship. The ship might be finished in the future.
  • Maybe Jacks Brother Jim lives near the shipyard to supply wood. Maybe a lot of log heads are there.
  • Harbor Area. Dense small houses.
  • Classic:Grenadier (Pirate) in a jail.


  • The road there could be a long but straight line. So it gives the impression of a large distance.




Progress I looked a lot into the map related things. I have looked into Tiled (nice software). I understabnd like 30% of how to use the terrain drawing more. (I want to understand this for the shore, for the cliffs)

Maybe use flawed lens for the lens of the telescope.
