FT Pro: North Pole and the Shade When Generating a World

TickTick
in Mapping with ProFantasy's Software
Ok, I am not sure what the north pole is doing, is it the north axis or is it the magnetic north pole? Also, just about whenever I put in data to generate a map using the "world settings", it makes the map but then the map puts in a lot of shade for no apparent reason,I'm wondering why it is doing this, I think it is having to do with the circumference of the world I generate, but I'm not sure.
Any help with BOTH of these issues would be very helpful!

    FT has no notion of planetary magnetic fields. The north pole is the northern end of the rotational axis.

    If you'd like to turn off shading, use Map>>Lighting and Color, select the Intensity tab and move the Shadows slider to None. The shading is there to provide a sense of the local topography. It has no particular relation to the circumference of the worlds you generate.

    Ok, thanks a lot for the explanation. Also, a magnetic field can have a huge impact on the map of a world, but I was only wondering for that reason.
