Myrirandios, my revised version
![[Deleted User]](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c75d9a245b74d9c59be0999ea81ca541/?default=https%3A%2F%2Fvanillicon.com%2F92add7f8c954488718110edc4896ad39_200.png&rating=g&size=200)
I have revised my old world of Myirandios radically. First, I used the AE Hemisphere projection (not seen on your default projection menu, but in the FT folder). I attach the resulting climate and altitude files. I kept the buttons, but renamed and extended them to Race, Altitude, Tectonics (includes Winds and Currents), Climate, Minerals, Political after I exported the maps in FT to CC3.
I want to use this world as an exercise of going through each of the Annuals in turn (only 107 left !!) and so here is the first one, with the FT Climate Map in the Mercator border. And a pretty background, showing north and South poles to the left, and the Zodiac, stylised solar system and planet on the right - yes, Myirandios has three moons (red, black and white) and planetary rings.

As the maps all seem to be cut off at the bottom, I will be posting the links to them in Dropbox, including the hi-res ones.
Next, Annual Issue 2 - John Speed.
Try the link above for a low res picture without the cut off, or this link for a 25 MB extravaganza
and the Planet:
Again, here is the dropbox link,as the Map pic is truncated. As you may have noticed, I have also added the FCW's for those of you who REALLY want to do me in!

Have you considered using a Dropbox account (or other cloud storage) and inserting the map image with an img tag?
It works like this (remove the spaces after and before the brackets):

E.g.:
I do not know how to satisfactorily export CC3 to FT - wish I could, but there it is.
Where is the file for the AE Hemisphere projection kept? I couldn't find it on searching.
What settings did you use to create your world? I rarely get satisfactory continents. They're too often ribbon-like and the mountains are dead in the middle.
Harn fan? I saw the entry for "Hospice of Save K'nor" on the town map.
Again, great work. I'm anxious to see more.
They are divided into 3 factions, Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic, but with heaps of overlap. Evil and Good are more due to the intents and actions of the individuals or certain sects.

Straight up and slightly to the left of "C" there are two or three houses that look like they are sitting on top of other houses. It looks like maybe the object order got mixed up, and some of those should be below the others?
There's a similar issue with one house diagonally up and right from A (quite close to it).
And there is also an issue with some of the houses on the lower side of the top street. First there are two houses diagonally up and right from D that are beneath the houses across the street, and there is a similar issue with the houses in the upper left corner of the map.
I noticed one more issue with the house directly next to the eastern gate.
From a basic design standpoint, it looks like there is room for one more house next to the western gate. It looks like it would fit in the open area north of the road (maybe it was omitted for artistic reasons?).
My only other thought is from a defensive standpoint, I wonder if it wouldn't make sense for there to be a wall in the southern part of the city, with the harbor area then being outside the wall (two or three gates leading into the city proper). But that's just a thought, which by all means you're free to ignore.
Did you find it hard to work with the John Speed style? I really like the "ye olde school" look of it, and have been thinking of purchasing the first annual that has it, myself, but haven't yet done so.
