First: When choosing Shaded Polygon by Edge in the Polygon drop down menu, it is a bit annoying to then have to type in editshading (if you even remember the command) in the command line - could editshading also be part of the dropdown menu?

Second: When choosing fractal polygon or polygon line, can a drop down menu option (ie right click) be added to edit the fractalise inputs.

Third: Could drop down menu (right click) on the erase button be added to just erase the top entity of the selection. Sometimes there are unintended duplicates. While I can deal with these by first clicking the top visual edit button, then Del then P, it would be so much quicker if I could just delete the top entity of the selection where I have had accidentally created multiple copies.

Finally, can the List command produce an output with about double the font size, and also perhaps a bigger window as well.

These are the most common procedures I use that would help a lot if put as drop down menus.

Jim is in hospice care, at his own request. I think Sue is in constant communication with his sister, as am I. He can talk and is sort of with it. I am sure that if any of you would like to write him a letter or card, he would appreciate it. The address to send any mail is

Jim Pierce

c/o 2955 Gladden Lane West

Alexandria

Alabama 36250

USA

His sister feels that contact with people from his hobby would help cheer him up. I have received permission from her to give out this address.

No, that is OK. I shouldn't have used the word fatties, sorry. Just wanted to let people know that by changing the x and y axis independently, you can get useful distortions - from severely anorexic, to morbidly obese (all medical terms).

I'm hoping people will try it out, and let me know of any bugs, or suggestions, so I can then talk to @Ralf about a revision of the annual. And I am sure he will also have even better ideas than me.

Here is the 2nd floor - with the players' version as well as the gamesmaster one.

Gamesmaster version below:

Do you mean make the farms smaller, or bigger?

Here is the map at present. I am happy to take on board your suggestion. I guess the paddocks are almost a mile wide at present!

A very sad moment and I will miss Jim in so many ways. He was a friend to me when I needed one. We had great chats about so many things, not just cartography.

@Monsen Could we have a competition for the Atlas in the new Year in honour of Jim?

Oh, what a dill I was. I didn't realise you were being ironic. It is so sad - and stupid - what we are doing to the major forests of the world. And in a way, what you have done is good- it highlights what we have done to kill off this world.

I have changed my mind about this map completely, and chosen the Mythic maps style instead. I will use Myrklund on a more jungle type area, which this is not supposed to be.

I used hill symbols from Sarah Wroot style, to make up for the fact there were no hill symbols in this style.

I think this is ready for Remy.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

This is the next section I will tackle - the 'Viking' kingdom of Skalamark. It also includes the island of Llum (but with a new name) that I did for the Atlas, and for which I wrote extensive notes. Obviously, this is only a beginning.
