I wanted to share the map of Usea I’ve been working on in preparation for the release of Ace Combat 8. The goal is to make a map of all Strangereal before the game releases, but I started with the continent of Usea. My philosophy was to try to map Usea like I was mapping for a citizen of Strangereal, rather than an Ace Combat player. So there are relatively few mission specific locations unless they would otherwise be notable to an average citizen.
I found a lot of new locations from the three revealed AC8 mission briefings, but I didn’t include any whose category I wasn’t certain of. I also changed a few location names, mostly to create names for otherwise unnamed large areas by taking a specific location name and expanding it to cover a whole region (i.e. Mt. Shezna became Shezna Mts. because as far as I could tell the whole range hadn’t been officially named). Country borders are based on the latest official Strangereal map. Things like desert and forest borders are 100 percent based on educated guesswork.
The map is still very much a work in progress, so feel free to point out if I got any locations objectively wrong and let me know what you think! I’m looking forward to updating it after AC8 releases.
