Update on Mercator style map.

Forests, deserts, swamps, some volcanoes, cities and a few names to go.

The grey mountains represent the highest altitude mountains.

I thought I would illustrate the whole world of Dashamargo using two different styles.

The first is for the equirectangular projection, using Erdam Worlds. Obviously in the early stages.

And the Mercator style for the two hemisphere style

The last is best viewed as a large map and high res. though I may change over to larger and fewer symbols.

But here is a close up, which doesn't look too bad.

You can use symbols in area - which i use a lot - you just have to fiddle with the parameters. one thing I have noted is to make sure the default symbol size is appropriate for the map - and it often is not what is set, so you may have to alter that. Furthermore, you can pick from a variety of trees - and even make your own symbol catalogue by renaming some symbols (clone them first) so they have the same name with ascending numbers.

And it is very quick and easy once you get the settings right.

Only 1 criticism - the forest seems very uniform, and ultra dense - perhaps a bit of variation, and variety in the density?

Thanks Jim - not sure what TLDR means though. 😃
