I'm hoping people will try it out, and let me know of any bugs, or suggestions, so I can then talk to @Ralf about a revision of the annual. And I am sure he will also have even better ideas than me.

Do you mean make the farms smaller, or bigger?

Here is the map at present. I am happy to take on board your suggestion. I guess the paddocks are almost a mile wide at present!

Here is the final part of the map - the Kingdom of Nilterurn - a Slavic ship kingdom, and instigator of many raids on other lands for loot and slaves.

A very sad moment and I will miss Jim in so many ways. He was a friend to me when I needed one. We had great chats about so many things, not just cartography.

@Monsen Could we have a competition for the Atlas in the new Year in honour of Jim?

Jim is in hospice care, at his own request. I think Sue is in constant communication with his sister, as am I. He can talk and is sort of with it. I am sure that if any of you would like to write him a letter or card, he would appreciate it. The address to send any mail is

Jim Pierce

c/o 2955 Gladden Lane West

Alexandria

Alabama 36250

USA

His sister feels that contact with people from his hobby would help cheer him up. I have received permission from her to give out this address.

That is exactly what Explode Text does, but it makes editing them more difficult. SO make sure you get it right before exploding. I did that in the Atlas Magumul Empire of minotaurs in the north-western part of Artemisia.

Rainbows, Noah's Ark and pink elephants.

Otherwise make sure all the biomes are covered. Plus ? mangrove regions - perhaps not - leave it up to you!

Oh, what a dill I was. I didn't realise you were being ironic. It is so sad - and stupid - what we are doing to the major forests of the world. And in a way, what you have done is good- it highlights what we have done to kill off this world.

Well, real life didn't permit, but I am back onto it, and hope to have it ready to submit to Remy when he returns from holidays.

Statues, wells, fountains, market stalls, text and the actual harbour to go.

I second Ricko's comment about caves and mine entrances as stand-alones. Also waterfalls that are stand-alones, not associated with cliffs etc, so they can be places anywhere - would need 4 symbols for 4 different angles, i guess.

And Sue, you have my trust - no need to show the mountains until you are ready. One of the things I did appreciate with Spectrum was that you had green mountains , ie, those with vegetation - like so many of lower mountains are around the world (and especially in Australia, where to eucalypt oil of the gum trees gives the mountains a 'blue' look from a distance - which is why we have the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney
