Paper based Map Item

Players can have a printed map of the area of operations (AO) as part of their equipment in the form of a paper map.

  • If players have a pen in their inventory, they can use it to draw hand-drawn markers, lines, and shapes on the paper map in the same color as the pen. It's important to note that these markers will not be instantly shared with surrounding allies like digital markers on a digital map. The hand-drawn markers provide a more realistic and localized communication method that requires physical sharing of the map among teammates.

  • If a player has an eraser in their inventory, they can use it to remove map markers and drawings from their map. This provides the ability to modify or update the information displayed on the map, allowing for more accurate and up-to-date planning and coordination. The eraser serves as a valuable tool for players to make adjustments or corrections to their map, ensuring that the information reflects the current situation on the battlefield.

  • There are two versions of maps available: one with a legend and the other without.

  • The maps are designed with textures and language specific to the owner's army, distinguishing between Russian and US forces. This customization adds authenticity and enhances the immersion for players representing different military factions.

  • Players has ability to physically pass or trade their maps with other players, creating a sense of camaraderie and collaboration. This encourages teamwork and reinforces the importance of map-sharing as a strategic tool.

  • Implementing an animation that indicates when a player opens and views a paper map can enhance the immersion and realism of the gameplay. This animation could visually show the character unfolding the map, studying it, and making observations. By simulating the process of map reading, players can feel more connected to their in-game actions and the environment, further immersing themselves in the gaming experience.

  • If a player has a map protractor in their inventory, they can utilize it to accurately measure angles and distances on the paper map. This tool enables precise navigation and tactical planning, enhancing strategic decision-making and coordination during gameplay.

  • When a player has both a map and a compass in their inventory, they can make use of the compass to orient themselves on the map. By aligning the compass with the map's orientation, players can determine their current heading and navigate more accurately. This combination of using the compass with the map allows for better navigation, waypoint identification, and coordination with teammates. It adds an additional layer of realism and strategic planning to the gameplay experience.

  • Players can utilize a magnifying glass from their inventory to zoom in on specific locations of the paper map. This allows them to closely examine details and enhance their situational awareness without the need for a digital zoom function.

  • Players have the option to post their map on a wall board, making it visible to everyone in the vicinity. This allows for easy sharing of information and strategies among teammates. Additionally, players can copy markers, shapes, and drawings from the wall board to their own map copies. This feature facilitates collaboration and coordination, enabling players to replicate important map details and enhance their own situational awareness. It encourages teamwork and efficient communication within the game.


  • In addition to being posted on a wall board, players can also place their map on the ground for the same purpose of sharing information. By placing the map on the ground, it becomes accessible to nearby players, allowing them to view its contents, copy markers, and gather valuable intelligence. This feature promotes collaborative decision-making, fosters a sense of teamwork, and facilitates efficient communication during gameplay.


  • When the surroundings are dark, players can utilize a torch or flashlight to illuminate their map for better visibility. By activating the torch, they can shed light on the map, making it easier to read and navigate. This mechanic adds realism and strategic planning, as players must consider lighting conditions and adapt their gameplay accordingly. It enhances the immersive experience, particularly during nighttime operations or in areas with limited visibility.

  • Players have the option to steal the maps of deceased or captured enemy players or NPCs. These maps may contain valuable markers that provide intelligence and strategic information. By acquiring and examining these stolen maps, players can gain insights into enemy positions, waypoints, and other pertinent details. This feature encourages tactical gameplay, reconnaissance, and the utilization of captured resources to gain an advantage over opponents.

  • The Game Master, also known as Zeus, has the ability to add additional information in the form of markers and drawings to NPC maps. This feature allows the Game Master to provide visual cues, strategic insights, or mission-specific details to enhance the gameplay experience for the players. By modifying the NPC maps with markers and drawings, the Game Master can guide players, highlight objectives, or introduce new elements to the game world. It adds a dynamic and interactive aspect to the game, creating a more immersive and engaging environment for both players and the Game Master.

  • To enhance immersion, the map can undergo changes based on certain conditions. For instance, the map may get dirty or wet in specific situations, such as being exposed to rain or mud. This visual effect adds realism and reflects the challenges faced in real-world environments. Additionally, if the owner of the map gets shot in the map's location, it could sustain damage in the form of holes or tears, further emphasizing the impact of combat on the player's equipment. These dynamic changes to the map's appearance add depth to the gameplay experience and reinforce the sense of realism within the game world.

  • Waterproof cases can be used by players to store multiple maps and carry all map tools, providing protection against environmental effects. These cases ensure that the inner maps remain safe from water damage, dirt, and other potential hazards, allowing players to access their maps and tools in various weather conditions without compromising their functionality.
