Thanks for clarifying this! Again, the worldmap is a great addition to the game!sdevaney wrote:You are correct. When you go to a map it takes a screen shot of the map and stitches them together.Ian wrote:Good job! I can't wait!
Am I right that you only see the starting map at first and after that the worldmap is updated if you go into another map?

Re: World Map
excellent work guys, as always.
the only thing i can see being a problem (and this is being extreemly over critical) is that some of the maps wont 'sync' well together with some of the trees and such. for example the join between the snake cave and jans cave maps the trees dont line up (half trees). up until now this hasnt really been a huge issue for me but when you can see the 'big picture' i think it looks just a little sloppy. Again i am being extreemly critical here but for polish on v 1.0 i would love it if little things like this could be adressed.
once again great work. new content is so exiting!!!! cant wait until the release.

Game Map - NOT in game?
I see where someone asked is anyone has done up a map (the thread is locked) and was told an in-game map is being discussed. While that is splendid, I would never use it - it is a pain in the a** during game play. I need/prefer a map I can reference outside of the game. I also know many players draw/write out the "map" as they play - something I have tried but always screw up.
So, please don't give me a line about the in-game map that may be coming. Please, anybody that can, direct me to a general map of the game lands. I am so done with wandering in circles, and being told to something is north of screens that do not have the option of letting you go north. I need to be able to see the whole layout.
Thank you!

Re: World Map
I have a suggestion - Please when you have created the world map and found a way to put it in game, would you also post some sort of PDF or GIF or JPG or whatever? While having an in-game map may offer options for quick travel (if built to do so), it is not going to be as useful while trying to figure out where something is meant to be while playing - especially if trying to do this via cell phone.
Thank you
Thank you

Re: Game Map - NOT in game?
AFAIK, there is no map currently available to players, ingame or out of game, so sorry 
However, the ingame map they are producing looks amazingly promising. It shows your location on it as well, so I don't think an out of game one would even be necessary. I'm sure one could be created though. More on that here: http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1948(it also shows you crossglen
)
My advice is to just go exploring, literally. It took me a while to come to grips with all the dead ends/unusable pathways/etc. But eventually, I understood everything pretty well. Try to start with a small area first, learn where everything connects and all that.
Of course, if you need instructions to go anywhere, people on here would have no problem giving you the best detail available I think

Re: Game Map - NOT in game?
I have been playing for weeks. I still have no clue where anything is, from one "town" to the next. My memory for names and dates is so awful. A
n in-game map will be nearly useless to me. Not only do I highly doubt I will be able to get a clear & readable overview of the entire game world on a screen the size of a telephone, but I will get very angry and frustrated having to open the map in game, go foward 2 screens, re-open the in game map, go forward 2 screens, re-open the in game map...
Well, you get it, I think. After a few times going through that, I won't care to bother.
Perhaps this game just isn't for me. I can't handle things like being told I need to find a house north of a town, only you can't go north from the town. I could check a map, and reconcile how to get around ... whatever ... to end up north of the town, and possibly where I should be - only, that's not an option without some sort of map.
Thanks for your response I really love these kind of games, and of the ones I've tried on Android, this is the only one that isn't simply stupid. Really, it's an awesome game! It just really sucks that all I seem to do is get lost. (I often level up then die on purpose just to find my way home)

PM Oskar and he may be able to help you when he logs on next. Or maybe sdevaney\nyktos\pyrizzle\someone else has a solution.missladyartemis wrote:Just to update, the link to syn is a bad link. Also, is nobody able to help me & kendraso figure out how to work it, if the link could be corrected?
