Damelon: Are nodes created on an x, y axis or on an x, y, z axis? In other words, are nodes placed on a flat plain and elevation (negative or positive) is placed on the node? Or can nodes be placed at elevation on the map itself; i.e. a high mountain valley between two peaks that are 1000 meters above "sea level" of the map.
Sarah: Try thinking of nodes as if they were Legos. Each piece fits to other pieces along predefined sides, called doors; you can stack them in any direction along those doors. When you first begin a map, you start with empty, black, "node space," with a single node of your choice. By adding more nodes to that first node, you grow the region outwards, upwards, downwards, etc just by adding more nodes.
