Map Hints

Post by edwardharvey »

Is there an explanation in the Game Manual for what the various Map Hint abbreviations mean? I have figured out most of them but a few are head-scratchers. Below are the abbreviations I have run across and what I assume to be the terrain they denote. Can anyone offer some confirmation on these assumptions and whether I have overlooked any?

CR (?) I am mystified by this one. I originally thought it might represent crevasses but this feature often lines river banks and are crevasses normally found in the steamy jungles of southeast Asia?
ES escarpment (?) If I am correct on the meaning, are these scaleable?
FD ford
HG hedge
MD medium bridge
MR medium river
PT path
SN stone wall
SR small river
RD unpaved road
RL railroad
UP paved road

Thanks in advance for any help!

Good day, Edward!

You bet, there is the 3.1.11 section in the 1.11 version of the manual.

3.1.11 What do the Map Hint abbreviations mean?

It will explain all of them for you!

Hope that helps!
