It also depends on what look you want. I’m working on a large map (3500 x 2400 miles) and I’m using smaller fonts as I want them visible in a high res version when zoomed in but in standard res version don’t really care if the text is readable. As the text is a distraction from the map it self if the text size is readable.

personnel choice as to what your looking for and what you want to bring attention to. The text or map it self.

With that said it is possible to find a happy medium for text size depending on the size of the map.

choice of font and color makes a big difference also. Don’t be afraid to use a more readable font for small text like on your borders. It doesn’t have to match the more fancy text your using for the other areas.

As someone who has purchased the annuals through the years I can tell you that there is no single year where everything that was released was useful to me at the time and in some case still is not. What I can tell you is that you will find that down the road something you thought was not very useful when it was released does become useful. This has happened numerous times recently has I expand my mapping and learning. So even if you have a couple of the issues in an annual from a humble bundle deal and currently only see using a couple more from that same year it is worth getting the entire year.

The $40 cost of the annual is well worth it even if you only use a handful of issues from that annual. There is a lot of value in the annuals and at $40 each and it is a cheap purchase. Yes to buy all of them even at the 50% off seems expensive but compare it to other purchases you make. How much use with you get out them is what is important. Let's say 1/2 the issues in an annual you will use, now compared that $40 cost to buying new video game (which you will set aside once you complete it) or even a dinner out, the annual content will last much longer that either of the other two purchases and you will have extra issues to explore down the road as you grow in your mapping experience.

Ok I'll fix that real quick. It's link to a file. Should be fixed now.

Thank You Sue.

Here is the final map. Added some exploration areas and added couple of islands. I also resized the fonts. Attached are the .FCW files for the regional map, Mah Asari and Roadhouse. Remy should already have the map for Austfiroir.

Ok Almost done. Needs location names (maybe still undecided). Cities and towns added, roads and paths are done. Maybe add a couple of dungeon locations. Thinking of adding some small islands off the coast. Higher resolution image in gallery.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
