World map: Difference between revisions

The '''map''' in [[{{gamename}}]] is composed of procedurally-generated pixel art creating complex environments and [[locations]].

<imagemap>File:World_Map_(Deep_Jungle).png|alt=The world map of the rusty world of Qud. Each significant location can be clicked to send the user to the relevant page. If the image map does not load or work, please use the regular article.

The general world map layout, including rivers, biomes, and notable story locations (such as [[Grit Gate]] and [[Bethesda Susa]]), is predetermined and will be the same in every playthrough.

The areas of the map covered by each terrain, such as the salt dunes, or the jungles, are always consistent. This can help you determine your approximate location by checking your current terrain against the world map, even when lost.

[[File:Parasangs.png|thumb|left]]Distance on the world map is measured in '''parasangs'''.

Each tile on the world map is one parasang from the next tile. This example image shows a chunk of the world map that is 3 parasangs tall and 8 parasangs wide. The player is currently one parasang south of [[Red Rock]].

Zones are the "screens" that your character moves through, fights in, or completes most other actions. Zones are the actual locations that you can enter from the world map (in other words, everything besides the world map). 1 parasang or tile on the World map represents a 3x3 area of 9 zones. When you descend downward from the world map, you'll arrive by default in the central zone of that parasang. If you've previously discovered special locations, such as ruins, lairs, villages, or other places, you'll be given an option to decide which part of the parasang you want to decend into from the world map.
