That introduces a new problem and doesn't solve the old one. That means that the distance across the game map will be different depending on the latitude. A loop around the inner part of the torus's ring is shorter than a loop around the outer part of its ring. "Circumference of the outer ring" actually doesn't make any sense, which brings us to the second reason that it doesn't work mathematically. It is not possible to construct a torus in which the "girth" of the torus is equal to the cicumference of the ring. Most commonly, the CRPG world map has the same north-south distance as it does an east-west distance. Mathematically it wouldn't work for several reasons. Logically, as Odin points out, where do you put the sun? Why doesn't the sky change to show the underside of the inner ring? How would such a planet even form? Why wouldn't you become weightless as you reached the inner ring? I don't have an aversion they just don't make sense either logically or mathematically. Now that there's been two replies, I can't delete my weird misspelling above. In other words, it's the usual colorful, densely-packed Mike Winterbauer map. There are also representations of creatures that are probably real creatures, like a giant in the tundra and a pegasus in the desert. There are depictions of elemental lords in the corners, and I wonder if they'll play a role here as they did in Might and Magic II. From there, the map is divided into quadrants-a desert to the northwest, a volcanic wasteland to the northeast, an icy tundra to the southwest, and a forest to the southeast. The center of the map has a large lake with Castle Burlock on the northeast shore and Darzog's Tower on an island in the middle. Instead, a black void forms the borders of the roughly-square land. For the first time in Might and Magic history, the world map doesn't wrap. The game map shows this on the far eastern side of the map. The gates of Vertigo dumped me into overland map area F3, at coordinates 10, 12.
