Map

Anthropus Camps contain invaders and resources and can be spied on or attacked.

• Swamps cannot be attacked.
• Mysterious Clouds cannot be attacked.
• Conquering forests will increase your lumber production.
• Conquering savannas will increase your food production.
• Conquering hills will increase your stone production.
• Conquering lakes will increase your food production.
• Conquering mountains will increase your metals production
• Conquering plains gains nothing, but you need them to build outposts.

The Dark Secrets of the DoA Coordinate System

Are you always getting lost with those coordinate numbers when scrolling along the map? So do I.

This is no surprise, because DoA uses a very strange coordinate system. I dont see any advantage in it, maybe part of the out-of-this-world atmosphere in this game.

So throw away everything you learned in school about maps and coordinates, you really gonna have to learn how to read maps like an Atlantean.

Coordinates are written in the form X/Y. The first axis (X) runs horizontal, increasing toward the right of the map. This is what you would expect.

Now you would expect the second axis (Y) to run vertical, increasing toward the top

DoA Coordinate System

or bottom. But no, Surprisingly it runs diagonal, increasing toward the lower right corner of the map.

To make things clearer, I made a drawing: centered around square 10/10 (to avoid the map rollover)

The squares 9/9 and 11/11 (in green) are not adjacent to 10/10 in any direction.You can see two very weird properties about this kind of coordinates:

The Y coordinate changesper two along the vertical axis.
