it was a reflection on the small chain of 'islands' that gave me the idea for the name, @Loopysue, although you've missed Katisland! :D That will stand out better when I change the colour of the islands.

I find reading decorative fonts difficult when small, @Ralf but I'll experiment with slightly decorative fonts today and post the results.

no need to comment, I've sorted things out

This map will be a mix of symbol styles and textures on top of the watercolour background. Ideally I'd like to somehow overlap the set of overland maps but I'll see what happens, but that's why I am using the watercolour land background. I like it - which helps!

I'm sorry @JimP - I had a chaotic weekend. You fixed it wonderfully, thank you for your help. What does movesht actually do? If I get myself into a similar mess I'd like to know what command line commands do so I apply the right one first time!

yes, Sue, I did, and it didn't work 😥. I'm thinking of putting something like a dot hidden under the map border on an otherwise empty sheet and doing a gigantic blur below the text sheet! might work, might not.........!

EDIT: I had to step back a saved map because none of the sheets had the RGB Matrix settings. Thankfully I tried the RGB first thing so I  only had to re-place 3 symbols after stepping back.

thanks guys.

true, but this is a fantasy setup inside a massive castle so I'm imagining perfectly level ground. I'm making reasonable progress on it today, so might have something to post here later or tomorrow.

sure - as soon as I can find it!

sorry about the entire screenshot - couldn't crop it. The buildings are ALL isomectric as are the market symbols.

EDIT

here's a better one @Loopysue =

thanks both of you.

EDIT

the settlement has already gone through many iterations. And I prefer doing the dominant feature of my maps first - I know what's going where.
