Our New 2D Map
Black Duke Games
Hello everyone,
today I would like to show you a new view in Rise of the Merchants ! Our game generally has three different views: the settlement view, where you can see all the details of your settlement and, for example, construct buildings.
When you zoom out, you enter the world view. Here, you can see your county at a glance in a 3D world, send trade convoys on their journeys, and trade goods.
The final and newest zoom level is the 2D map. Here, the game world is represented as a graphical map. This makes it easier to visualize and plan greater distances. Of course, you can also see the different settlements, bandit camps, rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, and trade routes!
Below, you can see a few different views of the 2D map, with the world map at the beginning as a starting point for comparison.
Be good and see you soon,
Erik from Black Duke Games
