Map view[]
The upper left corner of the user interface has a Mapquest-like slider bar. The game's castle view is at far right. Slide one notch to the left to move to the local map view. At the local map view players can see neighboring castles and other game features.
Only the right two notches on the slider are widely used by players. The left notches give a continent view and a world view.
Lord mode and hero mode[]
Local map viewing comes in two modes: Lord mode and Hero mode. Lord mode shows the locations of oases and other features of strategic interest. Hero mode shows monsters and equipment.
Players can navigate map view either by clicking and
dragging the screen or by inputting X and Y coordinates.
Entirely different map features are visible depending on whether a player uses Lord mode or Hero mode. To change modes, click the Lord or the Hero tab at center right on the game screen beneath the globelike mini-map.
