On the Map

Looks

  • Day and night looks. By default the map follows the world's clock (with Calendaria), switching at the hours set in Settings.
  • Leaning buildings: buildings rise as translucent 3D shapes that lean away from the centre of the view. Building tilt sets how far (0 is a flat map).
  • From orbit: zoom far out and the streets fade into the city's lights at night, seen from space.

Landmarks

Landmarks glow gold. Their real buildings are lit; parks, bridges and demolished places get a pin instead.

  • Hover a landmark for its card: art, a description written as of the scene's year, the address and the distance from your token.
  • Click it to open its journal page, if it has one.
  • Landmarks not yet built (or already gone) in the scene's year are left off.
  • New York's World Trade Center and the Empire State Building have their own custom models.

Search

Press Ctrl+F, or click the magnifier in the token controls. Search finds landmarks, addresses ("193 Salem St"), streets and places, nearest first. Picking a result pans to it and makes it blink. Players can use search too.
