Markers, Emblem & Increasing Borders

Dynmap & Political Maps

This page will provide tips on how to increase borders, regional names, markers, and Coat of Arms. Coat of Arms can also be known as Town Emblem, heraldry, logo badge or shield.

1. Increasing Borders:

   • Borders can be increased by making changes to the nature of the land. This can include building roads, paths, flags, and claiming land by building structures.

   • Players can also use outposts at strategic locations to determine and mark their borders. Outposts can be buildings, towers, or other structures that delineate the territory's boundaries.

   • Strengthening borders and cores can be done by proposing documents and clear signals to other nations, indicating a core claim on specific land.

   • Territory can also be acquired through wars, but all players must ensure that the acquisition is confirmed and well-known.

2. Changing Regional Names:

   • To change regional names, players can use in-game commands to edit the names of towns, kingdoms, outposts, and plot names.

   • It's also important to communicate the changes with other players to ensure that everyone is aware of the updated regional names.

3. Creating new Coat of Arms/Town Emblem

   1. • Players can use tools like azgaar.github.io/Armoria/ to create custom Coat of Arms for their nations, towns, or locations.

        • The tool provides various customization options and generation examples for creating unique Coat of Arms.

      • Once a Coat of Arms is designed and finalized, it can be downloaded as a PNG and then uploaded to Dynmap through GitHub or shared through the community.

   2. How to Upload the new Emblem to Dynmap

      1. Head to our GitHub assets folder by clicking Here

      2. Click on "Add Files" and then "Upload Files".

      3. Name the Asset (Yourtown.png)

         • ℹ If the Asset name is not .png, GitHub won't recognize it as a picture file.

      4. Wait for our team to accept your change.

4. Marking Outposts on the Map:

   • To mark outposts on the map, players will need to give each outpost a name using the in-game command /t outpost name.

   • Once the outposts are named, they will be visible on the map, allowing all players to identify and recognize the various outposts.
