World map overhaul - Part 1
🕑 Added 2020-02-29 17:00:56 +0000 UTCIn the past I had redone the world map to make it prettier, however, this time I am overhauling its functionality.
This idea was born when someone let me know how the world map had too small buttons on android ports and while I have to yet support android "officially", it is true how the areas were starting to get too cluttered and often were in the wrong position (like the Great Forest of Tob).
This overhaul tries to fix both the issues by using the world map to define the various kingdoms and once you click on one, it will open a secondary map where you can select the city/place you wish to travel to; This post will focus on describing the changes of the world map alone.
This change does not simply solve the clutter problem, but it also helps in understanding the plot and why it was such a big deal adventuring in Arwintar for some characters in Re-Estize for those who did not read the Light Novel or did not watch S3.
The game has finally reached the point in which Momonga will form his own kingdom and with this new world map, you will be able to see the world map change as you progress in the game:
One of the earliest examples, way earlier than Momonga forming his own kingdom, is Abelion Hills.
In the game I never managed to properly convey the importance of "Demiurge's farm" through text alone, for those who never read the Light Novel it may as well be just a little farm just outside of Re-Estize.
In reality, Abelion Hills is a chaotic location full of demi-human tribes who used to fight against each other, but Demiurge through his "Jaldabaoth" persona brought them all together and his farm is but only a location in that newly formed "Kingdom" where he runs some experiments.
They are united to fight the Roble Holy Kingdom and it shows in the world map if you pay attention: An island previously owned by Role Holy Kingdom (Yellow) is one of the first locations conquered by this new Demon Kingdom.
At first it will be unofficially part of the Sorcerer Kingdom, but as you progress with the main storyline, it will become officially part of your kingdom.
Depending on your choices, there will be many ways to conquer a place... Ultimately, the whole new world will turn black (Sorcerer Kingdom's color)!
Stay tuned for part 2!
