Re: Maps
I tried... I really did.. but I killed the map... it was just so aggravating... I knifed it repeatedly. There was ink everywhere.. shreds of paper.. I just couldn't stop.

Re: Maps
I agree with caradon. The effort to mapping is far beyond the benefits received for doing so.
I gave up after I made half a dozen or so. Now, if one mapping cost maybe a jar or so of ink and gave you a full local map then maybe it would be a bit different. Wherein the benefits of actually going into and exploring the map in person are the ability to mark caves and check resources. As it stands those acttions are more useful and done faster than making an actual map. See the Brodgar iron mine thread for the Codexian map. Where they only bothered to make maps of relevant intersections because full mapping is never worth the bother.

Re: Maps
Seeing that I took burgingham's advice I did what Chak suggested(although I read your post just after I mapped some river flows). But while doing that I stood behind a tree that was in front of a trench. On the trench was a lightened square(like it was behind me), now I am asking you... Is that a mine? Would be very helpful.
