The Forlorn Cottage style is a very limited Subset of the main SS4 style, and doesn't include things like room tools (The room tools are generally designed for dungeon rooms, not building floorplans like the FC is).

I recommend you just create the map in the SS4 Dungeon of Schley style which is a full-blown dungeon style, which also includes all the tools and symbols from FC.

Just open the existing catalog files in CC3+ (open them in the main window, as a map, and not just in the symbol catalog window).

Now you can use Import png's to import new images, or if these images are already defined as a symbol in another symbol catalog, open that symbol up in the symbol catalog window, and click once on each symbol you want to import. When done, just hit save and you're done.

Use the Bearing angle modifier (Tools -> Snaps), or you can type the coordinates using radial coordinates using the < symbol (f.eks <45,300 where 300 is the length of the line).

Edit. Ninjaed by Sue. But just a comment about the snap grid then, that works very well if your starting point is on the snap grid, otherwise, not so helpful.

This happens because CC3+ uses the names of the symbols as the unique reference for them, so there can only be one symbol of each name in the map. If a symbol already exist with the same name in the map, it will use the symbol already there.

Workaround for this is to use symbol manager and rename the symbols already in the map to something else.

Yes.

The way to edit fractalized coastlines are with the edit feature of the drawing tool. It lets you easily replace sections, be they large or small, and is the preferred way to edit landmasses and other entities.

Try this version

There was an extremely long line on the rivers sheet (extending REALLY far beyond the map). Seems to cause a crash when effects were applied. I forced the map to load without effects, then deleted the line. Seems to work fine now.

Looks very nice. Love how you did the central roads and avenue.

The amount of detail really depends on how dens you want your printouts to be. Generally, a normal map is normally more than dense enough for multiple sheets, like 1x2 or even 2x2, but when planning for 3x5, then yea, you'll probably want to include some more details, although probably not 15 times as much. Be a bit careful though, the more detail, the longer it will take you to make the map (and the higher the chance you will feel burned out during the process)

For symbol size, that depends on the type of map you are making. For dungeon/city maps, the scale should be 1 no matter the size of the map. But for an overland map of this print size, I might be tempted to set the symbol scale to half the default value (The default value varies with map size, but you can see and set it from :CC2PRESETS:)

I would probably make a few very simple test maps and then print them to pdf as JimP describes just to see if you are happy with the scale. You could even start out with one of the existing example maps and just see how it turns out when you tile them like you want.

Maps are now in the atlas. Thanks.

Now in the atlas. Thanks for contributing.
