side-by-side of the Hereford Mappa Mundi and the world map from Kingdom Come: Deliverance. On the left is a zoomed-in view of an old medieval map, with water filled in with dark ink, surrounded by drawings of buildings, shapes, and walls drawn at all angles. Text is mixed in with the images, making the map feel busy and full of information. On the right is a screenshot from a modern video game map, drawn in a storybook style, with forests, rivers, farm fields, and town buildings placed neatly on the map and coloured brightly.
