Making ships using Cartographer's Annual Vol. 3 (2009)
I'm not sure if I'm missing something in how to use this annual. If I select the drawing tool "hull, pine wood h" it's just the regular polygon tool. It seems like I only have an option to have a symmetrical blocky ship or try to free hand two matching halves with curves and arcs to look ship-like, and then fuse them into a single shape and change properties.
Since I still basically mimic a shown process (and this annual issue didn't include a true how-to PDF) rather than have a level of casual mastery that allows a lot of intuition and inferences, it's hard to tell if I'm overlooking something really simple.
Has anyone here used this extensively? I did a search but it doesn't look like (wooden, naval) ships have come up in discussion a lot, and there's only a couple of example maps for historical wooden ships in the user maps area.
