La France Map Wiki & Guide

You'll spawn into a default location, but you should explore immediately to find your bearings—look for nearby roads, rivers, or landmarks to orient yourself. The wiki's screenshots section shows recognizable locations you can use as reference points.

Horseback is fastest for roads and open terrain, boats work well along rivers, and walking lets you explore at your own pace. Choose based on the landscape ahead—roads favor horses, waterways favor boats, and rough terrain might require walking.

You can build almost anywhere on open land, but avoid building directly on top of handmade towns and landmarks to preserve the map's design. Flat areas, forest edges, and hillsides away from major settlements are ideal for bases.

Landmarks are scattered across different regions—travel through towns and follow major roads to discover them. The 'Finding and Visiting Famous French Landmarks' guide has specific tips for locating major sites.
