Advice
Hello everyone,
This is an outline of my world map. I want a good idea of which overland style to use to create it. I want something that's color, but not TOO much to become distracting. It won't have to contain ciites or anything so 'zoomed in.' Just kingdoms, and the average terrain. I think I'm going to make scaled down, regional versions of the map on Parchment Maps and Worlds of Wonder (since they are the nearly the same thing, just parchment and color). '
I only work with CC3, not FT, just so you guys know.
This is rather picky, and that's why I'm coming to the best map-making community out their XD
Thanks,
Pyro

Probably the best thing to do is just try one of the built-in CC3 styles, since it's not too difficult to convert from one style to another if you decide you don't really like the one you're using. Just a case of pasting what you've done into a new blank map created in the new style, and changing properties substituting symbols using the Symbol Manager.
In fact, there are several examples on this forum of people deliberately making the same map in a number of different styles, or swapping styles half way through.

thx, and sorry for more stupid trouble
Here is the climate map, followed by the geological map, showing altitude, tectonics, currents and winds.
And Quenten… WOW that is one heck of a map - I will definitely stick to a more basic color and symbol scheme as you said - nice work man!
What do you think, Quenten? Would that be too difficult for what I'm going for - it seems more regional, but it might work, right? Do you have any preferences? Thanks to all of you, by the way.
