    Oh aren't they?

    Well, wonderful work by the original artists :)

    You can make separate symbol catalogues from the same folder if you haven't split them into subfolders.

    Check out page 90 in the Tome for the basics.

    If you get stuck, just shout.

  • [WIP] 1000th Map Competition: Elkton, Alarius North Central

    You can tell I haven't done an actual map for years. I'm still trying to get the right size and shape, and make enough space for a legend.

    I replaced those Darklands City trees with Forest Trail pines, and laying out the roads for a split community - some of them live on the tundra in the valley, while others live on the steep slope above it. This being a village at the end of the civilised road, the only things that leave Elkton apart from the road into the village from the west are trails. Animal trails...

  • Making new line style?

    You can't make that as an all in one line style, but you can make railroad tracks without too much trouble.

    This video should be helpful.

    Yes, I see.

    I think I'm stuck in dungeon mode at the moment. I'm automatically assuming that everything is lit from above, which is quite wrong since the shadows in the map indicate a north west light source. I might flip that to a more realistic angle from the south, bearing in mind the position of the continent in the northern hemisphere.

    I made more trouble for myself by making the snow really thin. Maybe it should all be in the valley bottom with the slope bare.

    Anyway! I decided that snow loaded pines looked wrong on the ground that wasn't snowy and switched them out (maybe temporarily) for trees from Darklands City.

    I like the map with these colours, but it doesn't really make sense.
