Ok guys...how are you all? I see lots of things going on since my brief hiatus which I've missed out on, apparently (community atlas, I'm looking at you ) but I need advice on what to add on to my core CC3+, please
What I typically use, what I want and how:
1: I use CC3+ mainly the HW style which I can barely tolerate heh. Don't get me wrong, I like the artwork, but sometimes it just appears overly cartoonish for me. I like the JR and MS styles, but at times, they too seem a unnecessarily cartoonish.
1a: Want: all terrain fills in all styles. For example, I love the 'lava' terrain from HW but can't make it work in MS and so on.
1b: How do I get this to happen? Annual? Another product?
2: I don't use city designer...but there is a basic version in my CC3+. I dislike it. I want to be able to map a city but I need an isometric view of it. I've looked at Diorama I think it is but the examples showed a street view similar to an MMORPG.
2a: Want to map cities with overhead isometric view.
2b: umm, how do I do/get this?
3: I am an artist. I've been trained in traditional media as well as computer graphics (photoshop, etc). Back in the day, I used to manually draw/paint my campaign maps in Peter Fenlon style.
3a: I want this style for my CC3+ but I don't think that annual has yet been converted.
3b: Um, how do I get and use this?
Thanks so much for the advice in advance. Also, any other advice on what to buy to addon etc for my CC3+ would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

There are no iso city styles available. The user Tonnichiwa did a couple of iso style maps using the city and town symbols from the overland styles but this is time consuming and not something that is practical on an long term basis. If you want the Pete Fenlon style your best bet is to do like the rest of us. Wait for ProFantasy to release the CC3+ version or Install CC3 and use it from there. We are all impatient for the release of all of the annuals, but they are coming along.
Decisions, decisions heh
