The Cartographer's Annual
I started this discussion about The Cartographer Annuals.
Here is my addon to the new April CA about CD3. It's a symbol of mill building in two color variations.
Feel free to use and share them.

Nice symbol! I'd perhaps include a more obvious roof ridge to make it appear less flat.
Reason for my question:
I'm from germany, where credit cards are still not very common. This means, i don't own one...
Would i really need to get me a credit card to purchase the annual's?
Or could i, at least, buy them at SPIEL '08??
And of course we'll be at Spiel.
Different media players react differently, but basically, it is impossible to jump to different locations in the file. You need to see it from start to end.
As ShadoWWW reports, it only happens with part A.
I ran the file through VirtualDub, and it complains that parts of the file is missing after analysing it.
I also notice that a lot of mountains, including a volcano, was inserted between the end of part A and the beginning of part B. It looks like something is missing here. Especially since he refers to the volcano later, but we never saw him place it. I could understand not showing how he placed every single mountain, but since we don't see the volcano being placed either, it definitely points to some of the file is actually missing. Only a very small portion though, but this would also account for the other problems with the file.
By the way, the tutorial is excellent. Joseph has done a great job. He explains the various functions in a straightforward yet quite comprehensive manner. So far I have only been interested in dungeon and battle maps. With the tutorial, Joseph has opened my eyes and shown me that the creation of overland maps will enhance the quality of my future campaigns and can be fun.
People have (sometimes) been complaining about the CC3 suite being both a complicated and not very well documented set of mapping tools. With the annuals, Joseph's movies and the upcoming user manual, I believe that CC3 will actually be the best documented mapping tool on the market. If we add the Ultimate Tome of Mapping (which will be updated to cover CC3) this will - in my opinion - definitely be the case.
And CC3 is not that difficult to use. I purchased CC3 and some of its add-ons at the end of January and have only started mapping recently (this weekend to be honest). Thanks to Joseph's DD3 videos, the tutorials posted by ShadoWWW and Neoknight, the annuals and Ralph's support on the forum as well as in the mail list, I was able to achieve good first results. True, it takes time to learn the use of the various tools and sheet effects in an efficient way but it's worth the effort.
What I'd like to see once CD3 is released: A video tutorial for mapping cities.
Lights->Show Light Symbolsto make these entities visible, then use the regular CC3 commands to manipulate them, like erase to delete them.
