Sadness! I look forward to seeing this one next week when the technical issues are resolved.

I would love that! Including more dragon heraldry symbols, if the artist is taking requests.

Here are the new steps, each with their own sheet with a Glow (Outside) with a Strength of 12.5% and a Blur Radius of 2. I didn't add the Glow effect to the lowest step, thinking it would be flush with the plaza, but maybe I should add it. I first tried it was a stone fill that was one shade lighter than the plaza, but I think it looks better one shade darker.

Welcome!

For me, I learned the most from the video tutorials.

I spent years (off and on) trying to teach myself with the PDF manuals before I started to watch the videos. Joe Sweeney’s “Parrot Island” video made things click for me and set me on my way.

I would recommend going through the Learning CC3+ videos as well as Joe Sweeney and Josh Plunkett’s series that go through the process. Then the Campaign Cartographer Concepts and Quickies. The Live videos are great and I learn something new with every single one, but I’d get the basics down with the other videos first. (You may get up to speed faster than I did and might end up skipping around.) Also, bear in mind that some of the oldest videos talk about techniques that are now out of date but the fundamentals are still helpful.

I agree with Kertis. I don’t think the mountains need to pop. The beauty in this map is in its subtlety. It’s lovely. You could slightly darken them if you wanted, but I think they would well as they are.

Ralf did a Live video where he designed crenellations using a line style. (Has some odd effects when drawing circular crenellations on a round tower, though.)

Wow, this is gorgeous.

Added in bridge and cliff shadows. Writing up the description, and then I think I'm about ready to convert to Autumn, Spring, and Winter.

Here's a close-up of the fields. The two empty ones were furrowed brown fields. Not sure why those fills disappeared. (I just checked, and they now have a fill style of Hollow. Hmmm.)

This is what happens when you miss something that's not a building and then convert everything left to be a building:

In this case, it was a line used to show where the city walls should go. I drew the walls but forgot to delete that part of the line. When it converted the line to a building, it connected the two ends of the line to make a polygon. I used the "Change like draw tool" to change it to a dirt road, which resulted in this:

And then I deleted it, since it was putting in a road where no road ought to be. The same thing happened with part of the north part of the wall.
