Varicolour symbols aren't too difficult to make. If you have the Tome its on p113. If you need any help just shout.

Another improvement.

The labels are quite clear now at forum resolution, and once you click the image and look at the full size they are good.

I think that's already looking a lot better - especially when viewed at the true export size when you click the image.

Creepy Crypts also uses the same method, only the knockout is placed on 2 sheets with different sheet effects and different fills, so you get a rocky or cobbly wall lining the cavity you knock out. It was probably a little bit too confusing for an annual style for new mappers, but the basic concept of eating holes in the dirt and rock will hopefully become more mainstream as it frees us all from cave entrance issues and having to make floor masks.

DD4 is most of what I do these days ;)

A little background info on the village...

The people of Elkton are a mix of dwarves and humans - many of mingled blood. Some of the inhabitants prefer to live underground, especially in winter.

There are mines in the foothills of the mountains just to the north of the village where most of the people work to extract precious gems. Among the most highly sought gems are called elk diamonds for their sheer size - hence 'Elkton'

The mining community are supported by hunters and fur traders, but they don't have an easy time. Other predators compete for the game but are rarely seen by anything other than their tracks. It is rumoured that some of the hunters are more than just human or dwarf. There may be werewolves living in this community, but if there are their identities are unknown.

There is also a rumour that the pureblood dwarves have a secret cavern somewhere in this area where the largest and most perfect elk diamond is housed in a secret temple of wealth.
