Author Topic: Allow us to access Adventure mode Travel Map even when we are not able to travel  (Read 1334 times)

Since playing Adventure mode I have found the travel map a great deal of use as a guide for travelling normally, because it is a far more detailed map than anything else.  But the game you does not allow you to travel in mountains or close to rivers, this means that one often has to leave rivers in order to simply look at the map to figure out where you are.  This is funny, if we have a map then why can we not read it even when we cannot travel effortlessly over the landscape. 

I propose that we be able always to look at the travel map but not actually travel.  More ambitiously I propose we be able to zoom in and zoon out the map manually rather than automatically (as at present).

I know that.  I am not talking about the inferior world map; all that tells you is the vague area you are in.  I am talking about the superior travel map which provides you with a detailed map of the local area, all the roads, halls, camps and so on.

+1 to this all day long.  I am often opening my travel map, not to fast travel, but simply to get better bearings. Especially now with Army's moving about.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

I've thought of this as well, it seems silly being by water all of a sudden impedes your ability to see into the distance, and look at the landscape and such. Maybe for mountains, indoors, and underground but otherwise no, like being in a hostile site.

another +1 here.  Just some sort of a more localized map would be nice, ESPECIALLY when in caverns/mountains
