Oh Wise One
The Spire is A bit cartoonish, but compared to the Fellowship adventure map, it's a masterpiece. While both of them would benefit from some of the attention to detail that goes into the cities, the Fellowship adventure map is particularly hard to understand. No hint of movement, no detail to explore, no accomplishment for completing waypoints.
The map should be redrawn from scratch, with at least the slightest of animations. Each stage should have a different backdrop. Fish jumping in the water, clouds moving, lights flickering in the distant gloom. Animate sections of path completed by drawing a right line in the appropriate colour over the completed sections. A sense of Adventure and Wonder needs to be introduced. Some sense that you are exploring and conquering.
Perhaps a small chance of an extra prize under any given way-point, or even a guaranteed, but small prize. a five percent coin or supply instant for each of the crossover points, or maybe a five KP instant, with a one KP instant at each non-crossover way-point.
Make me feel like I'm on an adventure.
Pros, engages players, encourages participation.
Cons: New art required, increase in certain supplies might need balance. Coding changes shouldn't be unusual compared to tournaments or Spire.
