Concept Map of Calligo

Calligo is the name of the land in Anvil Empires.

Welcome to Calligo, a land that once birthed an enlightened people who represented the pinnacle of civilization, now finds itself a canvas for bloodshed and conquest. Three desperate alliances vie for control of Calligo’s land and resources.

The industrious Novan Remnant return to long abandoned outposts in a bid to reclaim their lost valor. The displaced Aranic, savage Pagans of the south were forced to flee their storm-shattered islands and find hope on Calligo’s shores. The Mirrish, Blood of the Ancients steel themselves with the will of their Calligan ancestors to defend their sacred land from the unworthy.

This isolated continent holds an array of deadly creatures and bountiful features. From craggy highlands to swaths of verdant fields; North Astria’s dense forests unfurl into the murky mires of Lisinger. The northern mountains of Etenweall are frigid and unforgiving, while the southern islands are home to barren land and fertile soil alike. Dark secrets lie hidden inside Calligo’s primeval mountains, beneath its abyssal seas, and between grains of the very soil itself. Tread carefully, for this land may not be so easy to conquer.

Development of Calligo

The development of Calligo has been a continuous and evolving process, with gradual updates expanding the play space over time, and refining its existing landmass.

Pre-Alpha Current Map

This update marks the largest map expansion to date, increasing the total area to 480km², with dimensions of 20km wide and 24km high. The original main continent has been divided into three large sections now joined by four additional landmasses along the map's edges, with 14 smaller islands scattered throughout.

Pre-Alpha Map West Coast update

The next large update to the Calligo map came in an overhaul of the current west coast, a new artistic map format, and a return of named locations to the map.

First Pre-Alpha Map Expansion

This map expansion added an extra 4 regions to the map for a total of 6. The map size increased to 8km wide and 11.1km high. The expansion added new north and eastern coastlines to the now peninsula.

Second Pre-alpha Map

This map marks the official starting point for the official map of Calligo. It was a single large landmass 4.2km wide, 8.2km high with a coastline running the entire length of its west side. The map area was split into 2 regions, north and south, with a transfer border in between. Entering the border region would then seamlessly transfer you from one region to another


First Pre-alpha Map

The first Pre-alpha map was a small single region map 2.8km wide by 2.2km high. It featured 3 landmasses, 2 islands, and a single main landmass in the top right corner. The two spawning Alliances would spawn with the Remnant in the north and the Ancients in the south. Both alliances were divided from each other via a river that ran the length of the main landmass.

Earlier Maps

These maps existed during closed tests, earliest stages in development of the game. Even though last version of Calligo during closed tests lived through first tests of Public Pre-Alpha, after the map rework, no parts of the earliest maps were used, hence making them completely obsolete and non-canon.
