No. The issues in the sampler are complete versions of the issues included. The full annual would give you lots of other nice stuff, but nothing more for this style.

Red X'es like this means that CC3+ isn't able to find external art files referenced from the map file.

Atlas will be down for a few hours due to network maintenance.

This is due to the setup in that traveller catalog you are using. For the standard traveller map, a gas giant is treated as a modifier to an existing symbol, to be displayed in the corner of a hex, not in the center where a regular planet goes.

This means that the symbol is quite offset from it's origin, which should be noticeable already at 1x scale, but as you scale up, distances are also scaled obviously, meaning that distance is now 16x larger. (This special placement for traveler is also why it is so small)

The gas giant in the regular planets catalog is more normal, but that is a height symbol, which isn't what you want here.

My recommendation is to create your own symbol catalog. Just make a copy of the traveller one, and then go in and scale all the symbols so they are properly scaled related to each other, and not for the abstract traveller use, and change the origin of the gas giants to be in the middle of the planet.

You're probably planning to fix it already, but that farmland cutoff at the top looks a bit artificial being so straight and all. A few trees covering up parts of the edge helps a lot here.

Good luck with the surgery.

Related to the problem using the mouse in general, remember that quite a lot of CC3+ can actually be done using the keyboard. This allows you to even work one handed. Some things do get quite a bit more cumbersome, but it do allow one to keep working.

Generally, the amount of reserved areas compared to the number of maps is quite low, so finding one is actually difficult, but if there are any reserved areas on the current map, there will be a button below it named "Show reserved areas". That that button does is just to enable reserved ares to show up with a hotspot just as the existing areas, meaning every hotspot marked on the map leads to either an existing map, or a place someone has reserved, while a non-marked area of the map is open for the taking.

Yea, aligned fills makes it much more friendly for rotation. I didn't have the time to cover that in the stream, but it is worth doing if you plan to copy and paste it rotated like this.

Do you have the CA66 Isometric Dungeons issue? There is a furniture symbol catalog in that one (@Symbols\Dungeons\Annual Isometric Dungeons\CA66 Furniture.FSC) that has a proper 4-way throne that should fit.

Yea, you can put a lot of things on small islands. I've been to a couple of the Caribbean ones. Barbados for example is 169 square miles, which looks about similar to yours in size, and has a population of 300 000 and lots of interesting locations.
