Polythreme

[Anti]

They say it lies across the Sea of Voices. They say it imbues everything on its shores with a most inconvenient vital principle. They say that the King with a Hundred Hearts tithes the Clay Men to London.

What they don't say is in which direction, other than generally East, the accursed place can be found. Have any zailors found this place yet?

They say it lies south of Abbey Rock, they say it lies no further east than the mysterious Station III, they say the sea there is infested with unfinished pirates. But they say many things, who knows how much is true?

So I just go South, right?

Polythreme can be north or south of Abbey rock.

If you aren't aware, the map is semi-random. There are things that are all within the same region, but within that things can get mixed around. If you want to see the full map for one generation, divided up into regions, go here:

I do wish the characters had some intelligence to tell you something more useful than "east", though. If only they could say "northeast", for instance. I think it's because the character interaction engine is a completely separate part from the map engine.

Of course, there are other stupid things like it claiming Mt. Palmerston is "to the east". Yes, in the most unhelpful sense, it is. More accurately, it's far to the north. I mean, if you think about it, almost everything in the game is "to the east of London."

If you find Godfall, Polythreme is usually right next to it. Both tend to be near Khan's Heart, which actually is more or less east from London.

Random indeed (though I took my first Captain's map, because (unprepared as I am) I can't face true random yet)

could be worse, he could have made a thread threatening to uninstall lol
But yeah finding Polythreme was hell on my first try. Bruiser kicked my butt when I got back to shore without finding it lol

Much like in the Neath, it's hard for a thread to truly die...

[jep]

And then there are times where the game well and truly doesn't know what the firkin it's doing:

The Unterzee shifts and changes about. Clearly the Admirality was working from outdated information, as can only be expected from an organisation that is a rump of its former self and, well, out of its depth.
