Since this great annual came out, Watabou had done heaps of modifications. And as a result, the SVG to DXF conversion doesn't work as seamlessly as before, making everything lines, and therefore unable to use the method as outlined in the annual.

I have experimented with this, and come up with the following solution, which makes everything relatively easy again.

Please try it out, and let me know if there are any bugs. Perhaps we can convince Ralf to do a revision of this.

I have also added a few of my own idiosyncrasies in the sheet naming.

This is the png of the city I generated.

I also attach the SVG for any interested.

The first most important thing is to just export as a SVG the actual elements you want and cut out all the pretty stuff. It is, after all, the street and building layout that we really want.

So ... in the generator, first check colour - make this either B&W, or Ink in the Presets.

Next, click on Style, and make sure you check or uncheck the following. Whatever I don't mention, you can choose as you wish.

1. GRAPHICS: Check thin lines, leave the rest unchecked.
2. ELEMENTS: Districts Hidden. Check scalebar only (if you want it, leave the rest unchecked
3. BUILDINGS: Roofs plain, leave Raised unchecked. Otherwise, choose what you want.
4. OUTLINE: Check buildings, water and roads
5. MISC: Check Solids; Uncheck Show alleys and Show trees. I advise against choosing farms - they can be added as you wish, and I use the farms from other styles, especially where I can easily align the furrows using Shaded Polygons.

You should get something like the png above. ie B&W, no text or trees or extraneous lines.

The number of Buildings and suggested population is available on the Settlement menu:

Here is the 'nation' of Frostlund. it is primarily a Vynling (norse) federation of largely autonomous jarldoms, but with a High Queen as the bit-more-than-nominal ruler.

It is the region where the first campaign I have run will commence in 10 days time after a break from DMing for 33 years! Yes, I am nervous. The last edition of D&D I DMed was 2nd edition. Now it is 5th ed 2024. At least I have had about 6 months gaming experience in it - previously hadn't played since 2016 - and then that was 1 game after about 10 years absence.

The players come from Dalvik (in the upper right hand corner) and will start off overhearing a nasty argument between Sven, an old retired sailor, and 2-3 travellers to the town, exhibiting rather unsavoury attitudes (definitely more than a trace of Grimmir blood). [The Grimmir are the equivalent of the various orcish humanoids, but they can range from civilized Germanic types to yobbo Aussies, to southern USA rednecks. But the Vynlings do stereotype them as barbaric Philistines!]

Here is my Pantheon of Gods, based loosely on Slavic Gods. I used the example in CA41 as a guide. The pics came from a few YouTube videos on Slavic Deities.

The landmass is the region I am using for a RPG Gaming aid.

Halfway there. Thanks to Sue for the Marine Dungeon - for mermaid grotto and sunken city regions in the map.

Here is a region torn between the merchants of the Irisian City States, and the military Leonder Imperium. Hence the warships and fortifications on each island.

This is the beginning of a map for the Atlas in the new January 2024 style.

The final map for the Hardin region. An archipelago with Wallori (Australian Aboriginal-type) tribes (the Wombat Tribe) in the north; the centre is occupied by a warlike collection of city-states of the Kwetzatl (Aztec-Maya type) people; and the southern island is occupied by the equally ferocious Ming (Chinese-like) who are at war with themselves and the Kwetzatl to the north - the sound separating them has many sunken warships and trade vessels.

And of course, it is a mixed up version of the Falkland Islands aka Islas Malvinas

This island is tropical, and shows only one settlement, a hut village symbol. However, given the actual size of Alarius, and even this island, which is roughly 350x350 miles in dimension, I am going to imagine that as a rather large settlement, albeit a hut like one. I am using Hindi based names - the alternative name is Hindi for Hermit, and Akela means alone, or Lonely.

But there will be smaller hut settlements spread around.

The Hermit will be located in a special geological feature - not sure what yet. certainly not a mountain, since no mountains were even hinted at here.

Anyway, this is the beginning of the Hermit Kingdom - now where have I heard that phrase before. hehehe

Here is another island group in the Hardin region - inhabited by the Walloori, whose language and naming details I have taken from the indigenous language of the peoples of this area where I live in Geraldton, WA - the Yamaji or Wajarri people. However, the people themselves although dark skinned, look more like, and dress like medieval Indian people.

Here is the beginning of the region of Rewiar on the Berenur Continent, using the new style, which I think looks so gorgeous. @Ralf - more structure and marine symbols, PLEASE.

This is the region on the continent map:

This is the map so far:
