Thread: A funny shaped world

  1. #1

    Default A funny shaped world

    I`m a new player and was fortunate that my citys location is (???,499) and the valley below me was (???,0)... something seemed wrong but i couldn`t put my finger on it. It suddenly dawned on me today that the world is the wrong shape, i live at the "south polar region" and moving 1 valley south puts me into the "north polar region". The world isn`t a sphere, its a torus (doughnut).

    Uhhh.....
    Yes its kinda like that. When you reach the "end of the world" you somehow teleport to the other side.

    Its probably made to look that the world is never ending. If it was a doughnut when you go to the city..what the hell do you see?!??!

    No, the surface of a cube will behave the same way as a sphere, north and south at opposite ends, for mapping reasons the world appears as a square, just the same as maps do for earth. Imagine this, take a sheet of paper and join east to west, youve made a tube, now do what evony has done and join north to south, you have to bend the tube around into a doughnut. If earth was mapped into a 500 by 500 square and i was at (0, 499) and walked due south i would cross the south pole and end up at (250,499), i evony i go to (0,0), near the north pole.

    so if it's a doughnut, does it have a delicious creamy filling or if we go to the center are we gonna fall through a hole?

    Mmmm, cream doughnut... sorry got distracted there. Its a doughnut with a hole. I wonder how gravity would work on a doughnut shaped planet.

    The Evony world is a giant square on an xy co ordinate graph with 0,0 as the centre point
    but it folds back on itself
    eg Scrolling from up from the most northerly part of the map brings you to the most southern part

    This seems to be true try it out
