Here are a few zoomed in maps in the Jerion shading style:

One other thing just occurred to me. See where it has a Blur Radius of 7? If you want bigger beaches, increase that number.

Here’s a tutorial video focused on Trace. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet myself. It’s older but if it’s just focused on the Trace command, hopefully it won’t be out of date.

Figured out how to do Roman couches without resorting to symbols that couldn't be used in the Atlas. DD3 has an armless cushioned chair, so I just stretched it x3 on one axis. I know some Roman couches have a partial back on one side, and others have the armrest (or backrest?) on both sides, but unless someone can find a chair with two arms but no back, this will do. Does anyone know how they would have been oriented? I'm thinking that the riser side in this configuration would all be on the left side so that guests could lean back while facing their host on the coach that's along the eastern wall.

I am writing up the description for the Eknapata Desert area of Gold Coast region of the Community Atlas. It was designed using the Scorching Sun annual. Any feedback on the map before I submit it?

Hi @Quayuazue! I think you’re describing a different place than mine, but just in case, I wanted to show you the place I’ve already adopted. It’s the village in the red box here:

I’m looking forward to seeing your approach to these villages!

Related to this village: I am planning on submitting an intermediate map of the Kingdom of Enía portion of the Gold Coast. And now I'm thinking that I might also do another map of just the Firessí Woods. I think it might be easier to do the Firessí Woods map now than after this temple village is added to the Atlas.

If I do create a Firessí Woods map, are there any sorts of adventure hooks or mapping possibilities you'd recommend including? I have the Tempuwari Ruins, which were meant to provide a place for an adventure reminiscent of the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Other than adding a few more tiny elven hamlets, and maybe a few cave openings in hills, are there other mapping/adventure hooks you'd like to see?

This is really lovely. My only ever-so-slight feedback is that my old eyes are finding it a little difficult to read the legend, so I would consider increasing the opacity of the background fill/color slightly.

Per Quenten's suggestion, I have been playing with the Line Styles for the roads. I didn't try creating a custom one, but I did try some of the other presets, and they didn't really work. I also tried checking the Paper Scale checkbox, and that had weird effects when I zoomed in.

Here's an attempt that sets the roads to be solid and leaves the guided routes as dotted lines. I like that it makes it a bit clearer which ones are actual roads. I will also put it in my WIP gallery to make it easier to zoom in. Thoughts?

I have been looking forward to seeing what you do since you first claimed Elkton.

Also: DD4 things! Squeeee!
