Usefulness of annual 2012 or 2013 with Perspectives 3
Hi. I am brand new to ProFantasy and Campaign Cartographer.
I am very much interested in the Perspectives 3 add-on. I have discount coupons for Perspectives and a huge discount for one Annual until the end of May. I am soliciting opinions on whether the Herwin Wielink Isometric Dungeons style pack in volume 6 (2012) or the Perspective Buildings style pack in volume 7 (2013) would be a more useful addition.
Since I am very new to CC I don't know its history. It looks to me as though Perspectives 3 might be a product inspired by Wielink's work therefore much of his Isometric Dungeon style pack might be included in Perspectives. Whereas the Perspective Buildings pack is a true addition to the Perspectives product. But that's just an out-of-my-hat guess.
Opinions? Thanks in advance.

I hope that is enough for you to go on.
edit: I am not a great mapper, and certainly cannot draw, but I hope you can see good maps can be turned out with this software.
{Edit] I just jumped into the community project. I see a building in Forrestal Chapel. I'll keep exploring....
I couldn't get the city in the caldera to look good. I don't do battle maps. There is an Annual issue for Battlemaps, but I haven't made any.
There are several battle map discusssions here, but I don't know which ones will fit what you are loking for. Just do a search at the top of the forums for 'battle map' ad you should see two pages of articles on that.
You asked which annual would be better. The volume 6 Herwin Weilink is a nice one. It is a symbol based set using raster (,png) symbols. The Volume 7 perspective buildings uses all vector art but works with Perspectives 3 and is a great learning resource for how to create buildings.
There are a few perspectives show and tells around that you might find interesting.
