Hey Everyone,

I'm putting together a world map for Elgea that players will be able to purchase from our online store.  I just wanted some input on the sorts of things you all would be interested in seeing included in the world map, i.e. just geography or include faction information, political territories, etc.

Thanks!

I think faction hubs should appear on it, also regions like the misted lands, the rift and of course everyone's favorite yamagochi - Audrey.
<Deranzin> I'd agree with darkone on that

Political territories may be recounted so as not to paint the map too much. I welcome all other information.
Cheers,

I think there should be lines for the regional boundaries at least.  An indication of elevation could be interesting.  Also notable features like Audrey, the Rift, maybe fortress of shadows, misted lands.

I would also like light gridlines so I can accurately place the markers for cities and armies when I mount it on a table in my war room.

Faction areas would be great, and Rill's idea about gridlines would be handy...I can see all the little pinned flags now...

You know what would be AWESOME?  If there were a broken lands map included in the pack, maybe as a limited-edition promotion.

It wouldn't have to be a fully accurate map, maybe along the lines of maps of early European explorers of the Americas.  So we wouldn't expect it to look just like that, but sort of something like it.

Would be an awesome keepsake.

Roads will be  nice  also a  change  on how cities look will be nice as same with hubs.. 3D Map will be exellent, Just  a bit of more improvement of the world map is cool. Perhaps can include fortresses and that sort. and  bounderies   perhaps  more 7 food    or  more food.... The herald needs to be updated  a  bit more  some changes is good.. and  lastely  know its not of world  map lol but  new avatar options will be greately  apreciated   perhaps  crows  and more stuff

I agree, no coloration due to regions like Norweld and Ragallon, just outlines and labels. I would like to see biomes indicated. I like the idea of a grid, although spacing could be relatively large. Faction hubs should be indicated on the map; an icon indicating the faction would be nice, since there are so many hubs. And perhaps you could name the major forests, rivers, lakes, seas, deserts and mountain ranges?
