More maps in adventure mode
« on: November 08, 2007, 12:50:00 pm »

It's be nice to have smaller-scale maps for adventurers, on the same scale as the embark and fortress maps you get in fortress mode.  The larger the scale of the map, the further out you can see on it since it represents larger, easier-to-see features.

So on open terrain in good weather, you can see out maybe 10 map tiles on the world map, the current tile and the surrounding 8 on the regional map, just the current tile on the local map, and then the normal amount on the scale where you actually do things.  This should make finding towns, buildings, caves, and good paths through the area much easier.
