Test Release Notes - January 13, 2009

[Edward Edgemenace]

The map looks really neat. Very interesting that it is such a small portion of the island. I love how it shows the crew-bonus-radius circle. I hope they can generate the maps for all the islands, fairly easily. (Don't most games have map features similar to this?)

I think pirates of the burning sea does but I'm not sure.
Runescape has a map, though. It's similar to this but I think POTCO's maps look better.

I would like to see these maps extend to sea so we can see maps of our ships.
I think that would come in handy for the crew-bonus-radius circle you were talking about.

I like how you can also see the location of enemies if you get closer to them.

I didn't mean specifically pirate games, but all games. :shrug:

The non-fog-covered area in your picture is what I am calling the "crew-bonus circle." COOL BEANS! It should help a lot of people understand how/when crew-bonus kicks in.

Thank you for the great map pictures, MacIronhawk!
