Device for cartographers
« on: February 03, 2013, 11:00:41 am »
For now, fog of war is removed frontward in a cone shape. It also depends on the terrain, as what we can't directly see is not mapped.

Would be interesting to have a device that could remove the fog of war around us when used.
Discovered area could depend on skills and/or on the device level.

If i was to modify this idea it would be all skills related, no device, simply a Line of Sight skill, that increases.. somehow?

A craftable device that decays over time while equipped could help those with low "Visibility" skill for a short period of time too. I imagine something like the cameras used for Google Street View except mounted on a pole strapped on your back which makes you a bigger target. It could be pretty interesting, hehe.

If this idea doesn't eventuate - then the alternative is people sharing pieces of the map and these being stiched together like a quilt.
Then it is a simple matter of having a tool where the coordinates are entered and the custom map synchronizing with those.

Perhaps this is one of the intended uses for Map Disks, which only allowed players to share map markers in AWA.
