What are the best practice for a world map?
Hi Doose :)
It's best to add hyperlinks to the world map that lead to continent maps, and for there to be links in the continent maps leading to regional maps... and so on down the chain.
The best current example of this technique is the Community Atlas.
I don't recommend trying the 'all in one map' method. There is a level of detail problem where a house described as a dungeon map will just be a messy splodge if you zoom out to view the city, and the city drawn with individual houses will be a similar mess if you zoom out to view the region. Your world map would be a mass of noise with all that detail included in it.
