The Hill shade is Solid White 20, so I will try those effects out - thanks heap, Sue - that is the sort of comment i am looking for.

Just fixed it, and the result is much better. Thank you.

Solid black 20 worked better.

I am inspired to draw upon real earth battles to illustrate battles in my imaginary world history, using this style. Thank you for posting it.

I use Ralf's method mainly, but if the map is not too cluttered, i do use the drawing over an image - which is what I did with this map.

Use the symbols, rather than the dots, IMO.

That was perfect @Loopysue . I have now got all my structures sorted (as well as the main structures one with everything in it, and sorted to my satisfaction). Needless to say, I have saved all these in another folder as well, so if I have to reload all CC3+, I will have these catalogues available. I now have Mike Schley template etc working just as I like it.

Added the symbols. On SYMBOLS CARTOUCHES sheet

And the sail was a separate symbol also from CSUAC/Dundjinni

How about this bit - 1000x1000 miles, temperate, coast, mountains, desert, oasis. West coast Doriant. The grid squares are 100x100 miles, if you want to cut it down further.

Or cut the bottom two rows off, and get the default Overland map size of 1000 x 800 miles.

Just a suggestion, based on what you mentioned. The red dots represent large and medium sized cities.

Actually, the grid street was common in the ancient world - the crazed street layout as more medieval.
