Great Houses of Calderia News

[h3]One of the most important things in strategy games is the map.[/h3]
Indeed, for players to oversee their kingdom, how they progressed, and check what happens in the neighborhood, that's necessary!

The first version of the world map was this one:


As Antti, game designer, said on the Great Houses of Calderia's Discord: "This is what the map of Calderia looked like when I designed the layout of it to the artists. Surprisingly, quite little has changed from the original designs."

And yes, it hasn't changed that much! We were really confident with the overall look of the map. We especially appreciate its bright Mediterranean colors.

Have a look at our last version of the map (still a work in progress):
