As you can see from the image above, most of the screen is given to the map view. Through the sidebars and tool bar at the top of the screen, a player can access all of the information that is needed for them to play the game.

The game screen is made up of three toolbars.

  • The left sidebar is the place from which the player is able to access many key features of the game such as your Alliance Forums, your reports and the world rankings. You will also find the mini-map, which advisor's are active, and the game clock.
  • The right sidebar contains the god which is being worshipped in that city, the units which are currently in that city (including support troops) and your reports.
  • The top toolbar shows the city name, attack notifications, buttons to switch between cities, movement indicators and also resources in the city (and, if you have Administrator activated, a 'quick-bar').

It is possible to zoom in and out while looking at this view to see more of the local ocean. To do this, press either Ctrl + to zoom in, or Ctrl - to zoom out.

Map Details

There are a number of details which appear on the map, most of which are specific to the island on which your city is located.

Island Details

In the center of each island, there is an icon which describes the fertility of the island's resources. There will be one resource which is more abundant than the others, and one resource which is more scarce than the others. Adapting your build strategy to these changes in resources will help to improve your ability to get your city up to speed quickly.

  • For instance, if you have a +silver and -wood island, having Poseidon as your worshipped god and taking over the villages which trade for wood will be helpful in the early stages of the game.

World Map

World Map - Quadrants.png

The world is divided into 100 oceans in a grid layout, and each ocean is numbered from 0-99. The number of the ocean correspond to the (X,Y) location in the world. The first number is the beginning of the X coordinate, and the second number is the start of the Y coordinate.

In addition to the oceans, the world can be divided into 4 quadrants which correspond to the ordinal directions on a compass. They are in clockwise order: NE (Blue), SE (Purple), SW (Green), and NW (Red). The direction in which you choose when you join the game will impact on what alliances are located near you.

The world can also be divided into regions: Core Oceans, Expansion Oceans, and The Rim. Many players agree that the Core is made up of Oceans 44, 45, 54, and 55 as they are located in the exact center of the world. The Expansion Oceans are those which surround the Core. The exact number of these oceans depends on the world and how active it is. Beyond the Expansion Oceans is The Rim. New players and those players who have lost all of their cities or restarted will be found here. As more players join or others are conquered, The Rim moves further out towards the edges of the world.
