Chronicles: Medieval exploration map

Fog, settlements, and tools

The current scouting range is the party line of sight, and that data is live. Points of interest named on the Dev Diary 2 caption are Village, Town, City, and Capitol. Capitol is spelled that way on the caption. The same diary says the king had no fixed capital in the modern sense, so the label is the settlement tier, not a promise of one permanent seat. Three tools build that map in development. Borg is the procedural settlement generator inside Unreal Engine 5, placing Skapa compositions into Voronoi settlement zones, and it is still in development, including rivers.

Skapa composes building and prop assemblies with Unreal Engine procedural content generation, and it is not generative AI. Ymir is the modular landscape and biome tool. Battlefields are generated with Ymir during development, not while you play, and the tool is planned for modders at the full release. Borg was also the first mod-side tool the studio named, which ties this map back to the mod pillar without putting the tools in your hands on day one.
