So sad to hear this. Jim was a very important part of this community and I will truly miss his kindness and creativity.

@Monsen Yes, an Atlas competition in his honor. Perhaps using the classic CC2 styles?

I'm going to claim this building in the south of the city. "Pappy's Pub".

Thanks Sue! I've been quite busy babysitting a little dragon. Now that there's a new hatchling on the way I felt that I'd better figure out how to balance my personal interests with those of my little grand dragons. Time to teach the little one that my computer is not his toy. 😃

Hi Sue! Not sure if this will help... We just had 12 inches of snow 4 days ago. Here are a couple of pictures of melted roofs looking out of my kitchen window. There are no tile roofs in these but I can tell you that the snow melt is the same on tile. You can which have insulation and those that don't.

My only suggestion (which you are free to ignore because it is rather nit picking) is that the capstone of the chimney would be much too warm to be fully covered with snow. But honestly, I think that it looks amazing. 😍

Thank you! Glad you like the completed bits.

For future reference, when I put WIP in the thread title, it means that it is a Work In Progress. I do this for a couple of reasons. When it is a complex map it gives the opportunity to get input as the map progresses and before it gets too far along for easy changes. It also lets new users see the steps taken to create a map and to ask questions along the way. I almost always do a WIP thread if I'm posting a map here on the forums. I'm a slow mapper and really only finish a couple of maps a year for the community since I'm also making maps for my game world at the same time. Posting a WIP lets me participate in the forums rather than just showing up two or three times a year to add a map.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing a beautiful and well thought out map!

This is looking excellent. My only suggestion would be to move the rug to the SYMBOLS FLAT Sheet. Right now it looks like it is floating off the floor. The Symbols Flat sheet has no shadow effect so that the object looks like it is sitting flat on the floor rather than having some height to it..

Oh no! We've identified the source of the Great Vertshusen Fire of (insert game year)! Guess old Pappy wasn't thinking when he left his sacks of flour next to the wood fired stove. Before you knew it half the city was in ash!

People do stupid people things. I think I'll leave it for a touch of realism. 😉

Sorry there is no metric Quenten. I just made the art, and at a guess, Ralf worked the miracle of making it all into an annual with text and instructions and everything.

I'm glad everyone is finding these useful!
