Here's the full map, courtesy of 1000 hours of putting it together in MS Paint.
diebesgrab I feel like you'll also find this useful if you don't have it already.
diebesgrab, maybe append it to your
post with end-game prevention guide? Thanks.
Thanks to both of you. I went ahead and used
Stes's map as my base, and
butchered it cobbled together a version with highlighted points of interest. Which took about 1000 hours in GIMP since I'm used to Photoshop but my version of Photoshop doesn't frigging work on my new computer and rarrghfragglbraaztiglh—er, never mind.
(Apologies to both
Stes and Venus Noire for doodling all over your hard work.)
Anyway, I'll be cobbling together another version showing optimal routes eventually, but for now this should maybe be helpful. I'll post a link to this post in both my previous guides. Also if you're gonna Like, Like
Stes's and
HK51's posts instead of mine, I was too lazy to make my own damn map.
Without further ado, the
Annotated Map of Rosaria:
KEY:
Important Locations
Locations that are plot-relevant. For more information on how to proceed around these locations, visit the links in my signature.
Portals
These are locations you can warp directly to at the start of each week of exploring (you can also resume your explorations where you'd previously left off). The southwestern portal is where you start out when you begin exploring; the one in the extreme northwest can only be accessed after first discovering it.
Villages
One of your main goals while exploring Rosaria will be to make contact with villages, either conquering them outright or negotiating their submission to the twins under trade agreements.
Abbeys
Cloisters dedicated to Solansia scattered around Rosaria. Capturing them can help boost your research capabilities.
Mines
Capturing mines will secure a steady stream of iron ore for the twins' forges, which in turn will let you better equip your soldiers.
Orc Camps
Small independent orc camps are scattered around Rosaria. Play your cards right, and you might be able to win their support.
Drider Nests
If you can sneak into a drider's lair and steal a few eggs, you can breed your own horde of monsters of... questionable loyalty.
Vineyards
Also scattered around Rosaria are several vineyards. Capturing these may lead to a happier army, if not necessarily a more effective one.
