This is what happens when you paste together all the automaps on the "ground level" and then shrink 50% (axial shrinkage, that is - it's 25% of the original area) http://www.silverchat.com/Avernum/avernum_4_map.jpg Posts: 206 | Registered: Thursday, April 18 2002 07:00 |

Ooh, neat. I mean, I'm not sure I personally have any particular use for it, but it's still pretty damn cool. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Now I truly see the value of town/outdoor separation. According to this map, the distance between the major cities Dharmon and Blosk is about half the width of Blosk. -------------------- Are we there yet? - Common adventurer complaint prior to A4.

It's good to see more maps from Silver, although A4 doesn't exactly require detailed annotation for secrets. —Alorael, who was most bothered by the proximity of Fort Avernum, Silvar, and Cotra. The last two are practically on top of each other now that Silvar is a town and then another town to the west. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

It gives the best idea of how huge Avernum really is compared to my tiny little scenario. :rolleyes: Well done. -------------------- "Build a man a fire, and he´ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he´ll be warm for the rest of his life."

Nicer than the sections in the hint book. It gives a better perspective about how claustrophobic the world has gotten. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The castle is so large. Only 7 castle lengths across the Eastern gallery. No wonder Avernum has monster problems. Spending priorities? -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

I like! Now all the underground and above ground levels are all that we need. Everything must be mapped. Perhaps not so much out of need, but because it's standard. Not that it wouldn't be useful, of course. -------------------- "I'm not crazy!" "Well, whatever.

Yeah I must agree, while the merging of indoors and outdoors was an interesting experiment, and I guess it's quite fun to play something different once in a while, I have gone back firmly to the indoor/outdoor split. Just feels so much more... epic :) Posts: 30 | Registered: Friday, March 17 2006 08:00 |

I actually like the fusion of the indoors/outdoors. It adds to the realism and works very well with the idea of caves, where everything is going to be very close together due to space limitations. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 | Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00 |
