Ideal resolution for working with Ancient Realms

My computer monitor is a 46 inch big screen television. I noticed that my rivers come out fragmented when I do them on this screen. I know I can bring down the resolution and it looks fine but I have to bring it down enough that the icons are pretty small. Is their a way around this other than adjusting screen resolution, so far I have only noticed this issue with the Ancient Realms package.

In all of my work I have noticed that the symbols are very small for a map sized 500x800, the size I am using for my Eglandia kingdom map. I have to scale them up all the time. Is there a way within either CC3 or CC3+ to auto adjust the symbols to fit whatever map dimensions I choose? Thanks to any that respond.

    They typically do adjust for size accoring to the map size. 1000 x 800 miles is 1.0.

    If they don't, pick up a symbol from the left hand symbol display. Right click and then click on 'Set Normal'. That symbol will then shrink or grow for the size map you are drawing.

    I've drawn maps using a 39" screen. So I don't know what could be causing the river fragmentation.

    By default, the symbol scale for overland maps are set to map width divided by 1000, so for your 500x800 map, they would be set to 0.5 by default. You can always change the default for any map by going to map properties. This setting saves with the map, ensuring you always get the same fdefault for any particular map.
