Hello. What do you think about playing without a map (m)? In my opinion it is great because it provides a lot of tension and… adventure. Cata is much more realistic without a map. I always set city spacing on 8 just to create an environment in which I need a lot of water/food just for travelling to another city. What is more, I don’t know an actual position of a given horde and of course I have to rely on my memory. I like the fact that I am not aware of a given building position in cities. I have to see the building to know what kind of a building it is (it is impossible to distinguish building from few miles). But what I love most is the fact that I DON’T SEE A NPC that is five/eight miles from my position(and through forests or a huge city) 
That actually sounds like a really interesting idea. But I think it might be a little too random for my taste. I am the kind of player who likes to sit and plan before moving.
I think without the map, cities would be absolute death traps; especially if you start in a city - how would you tell where your nearest bolthole is? You’d just be wandering blind until something stoves your head in.
I think I could only play this way if i was actively drawing a map by hand… but then that is what the ‘m’ simulates so it seems like just a self enforced handicap. Not a bad thing but I have my own handicaps I enforce and this one seems tedious.
I think the overworld LoS is a bit overly permissive, but it’s intended to reflect your ability to see things, especially large structures, at a greater distance than you can see them on the main view.
Ability to spot NPCs at great distances is a bug or feature, depending on who you ask.
It might be fun to add an alternate mode where the map doesn’t store tiles or show coordinates, only shows what you can see. Then you could add a map and/or compass and/or gps to bring back the other features.
That might be nice just to get an idea of what’s visible.
Maybe a system where you still reveal the map but you don’t actually get a bearing on where you are?
