The wilderness takes up most of the mud outside of the cities and is what
connects it all together. While in wilderness areas, the usual tactical
compass in the top right corner of the screen will switch to an overhead map
made of ascii characters. Movement usage while in this map is greatly
increased as the scale is considered to be much larger (30km per hex).
Consequently, you will move more slowly, and tire more readily, as you travel
through the wilderness. The nature of the terrain over which you travel also
has a large impact on how much stamina it takes to travel through it. New
players are advised to stick mostly to the roads!
