DAI 323 - Blog Exercise

This is an battle ground map from the game World Of Warcraft. If you have never played this game, the point of this battle is to capture as many bases as you can while collecting resources.To navigate through the map, you  must follow the road, you can tell it's the road because of the contrast in color form the field and the road. The problem is sometimes you can't tell if you can use shortcuts on the world map because it doesn't show them. You actually see the shortcuts you have to explore the area yourself. Theres an area in this map where you have to jump a river for a shortcut into another base. The thing that captures the most about this map is the bases. They are completely different but all have the same purpose. When different factions control the base the color and the symbol of the faction is shown. In this picture the red and black flag of the Horde is shown. If you were to see a blue and gold flag as a faction of the horde, you must assault the base as quick as possible to prevent them from gathering resources. That is when the attention of the player or user is moved.
