One of my characters is walking and I noticed something which appears odd.
This character was about half way between locations yet it said 19%
now this same character is more than half way to the next location and it only says 22%.
It's just odd the percentage and the visual location doesn't match at all. Perhaps this is a 'bug' ? Just it is strange how the visual versus the textual % doesn't even come close to matching. It also appears to be taking much longer to get to the next town...
If this is truly a strange scenario I can pm more details....

It's been uphill all the way, so far, you'll run the rest.
I think those maps are only a very rough thing. It's the percentage that matters. That should increase by about the same amount every click.

Are you sure that your charrie didn't take a road to a town that is further away from the one you think you're walking to and in generally the same direction?

Not sure how that is possible. Came from the mountains , going to the forest. I see the black dot and heading towards it. Now I'm closer to the black dot and it says 23%. It just can't be that percentage. it should be more like 80%.
Oh and wouldn't it be downhill? (from mountains to forest)

I guess we'll just have to wait with bated breath until you get there to find out what's going on.
I bet 20g of iron you walk right past the dot and keep going!

I raise the bet for 30g of steel, he will reach the location and the % is still going to be that low...so I bet that it's just a bug.

Nope still walking and yep walked right past the dot on the map... only 47% geesh this is a very very long road. Hope my character doesn't run out of food. Don't ever recall travelling such a long path before.

You have chosen path to the more distant location than you thought. Everything seems to be fine, though we can check this if you wish.

Marol I didn't think they'd walk past the location and yep Doug was right.
Guess it's just a very very long path.

What % are you at?
According to my calculations, based on your posted previous progress, you should be at 132%, which means you should have gotten there six days ago. I'd have marol look into it like he offered, because something seems off.
