Based on the number above and some of my own observations, I reckon that Shartak is ten days travel East-West and about about four days North-South. This is assuming 1 AP per square of movement. At 15 miles/24 km per day that would make Shartak 150 miles by 60 miles or 240 km by 96 km. I've pulled the distance per day out of my head, but it does give an idea of scale.

Revision as of 14:27, 5 March 2006

At present it doesn't look like there's any way to change which of the villages you call your home.

Native Villages

Other Features

Terrain Types

Within the navigation map there are a number of different coloured areas which correspond to the different terrain types.

beach grass-

land

jungle (d = density level) mount-

swamp water deep water ocean (inaccessible)

d1


d2


d3


d4


d5


d6


d7


d8


d9


d10


In addition you may find other zones or details within the terrain. A common one for those first arriving are those considered part of a village where, for example, a d0 space within the village would be labeled "Dalpok" instead of "Jungle". Others exist as well; for example, bushes and trees in the jungle and there are caves and tunnels in the mountain terrain.

Beach

.

Nothing specific is known at this time.


Grassland

.

There's a swathe of grassland cutting north-south, a few clicks west of Dalpok. Can be found by following the road north from Derby.


Jungle

0 . . . . 5 . . . 9 .

It is everywhere, some places it is too thick to travel through and you will have to use a machete to chop through.


Mountain

.

Impassable mountain in the middle of Shartak. Seems quite large. A waterfall on its south side forms a river leading south - climbing the waterfall takes you to a small ledge of jungle with no apparent features.


Swamp

.

Follow the river south of the mountain to find an alligator-infested swamp. NOTE: It takes 2 AP to move and 3AP per search in the swamp instead of the normal 1 AP.


Water

water deep ocean

Movement in water takes 2 AP by default. Movement in deep water takes 3 AP by default. Sharks, which cannot be seen, attack in deep water. The attacks take 2 HP and leave the player wounded. The wound takes 1 HP per move and can only be healed by a first aid kit or healing herbs.


Details

Bush

Tree.gif

Found "a bush covered in berries" in the jungle to the east of Dalpok. Searched and found berries which took away 2 HP when eaten.


Mango Tree

Tree.gif

Found a mango tree on the road leading north from Derby. Searching seems to provide a ready source of mangoes, predictably.

Known loacations: [-70.380,+26.369]


Banana Tree

Tree.gif

A banana tree, it appears as a little tree icon in the corner of a map square. Seems to be a reliable source of bananas.


Cave

Cave spotted somewhere near Dalpok. Unexplored. At the edge of a mountain came across a cave went scavenging but was only able to find broken knives. Another cave led into a tunnel through the mountain itself.

Hut

Hut.gif

Huts are generally found in villages. Players can enter huts for shelter.


Ruins

On the west bank of the river that runs south from the mountain. Also [-70.391, 26.48]

Tunnel

At least one tunnel traverses through a mountain.

Size

Based on the number above and some of my own observations, I reckon that Shartak is ten days travel East-West and about about four days North-South. This is assuming 1 AP per square of movement. At 15 miles/24 km per day that would make Shartak 150 miles by 60 miles or 240 km by 96 km. I've pulled the distance per day out of my head, but it does give an idea of scale.
