They're in the set, Calibre :)

That has little to no effect.

What usually causes the problem is if you have loads of House entities rather than symbols, because they are built from filled polygons and dramatically increase the node count.

You can work on a district at a time and then move a completed district to a layer of it's own and hide it until you need it later to check on how things look overall, or for rendering.

Try pressing CTRL+F, which toggles the control point visibility. What's visible in the map (that isn't a snap grid) will be visible in the render.

From Google:

In south and western England, a hundred was the division of a shire for military and judicial purposes under the common law, which could have varying extent of common feudal ownership, from complete suzerainty to minor royal or ecclesiastical prerogatives and rights of ownership.

From me:

I live in Uggscombe Hundred, though I'm more likely to call it the Parish of Chickerell and Chesil, which is the modern unitary authority (similar, but not identical in shape and extent). As I understand it the ancient hundreds were presumably resposible for providing at least a hundred men at arms in response to the local lord's call for arms.

Thank you :)

It's an annual issue for later this year, and was initially inspired by DD3, though I have already gone off on something of a tangent with the colour scheme to the point where Creepy Crypts is now distinctly different. That is not to say that you won't be able to use DD3 symbols and fills with it if you want to - just that I am no longer adhering as strictly to the colours and textures of DD3.

I've more or less done all the textures now, so the next few weeks should see some suitable symbols appearing in the test map.

Just one little snippet of information here - I once lived in an eighteenth century cottage. The walls were over 4 feet thick on the ground floor, and much thinner on the first floor. The building material was local flints, which are quite small - about the size of a fist. We think the reason for the thickness of the walls is the poor nature of the building materials and the fact that they had to support 2 floors and an immensely heavy thatch on top of that.

@AleD Thank you :)

@Quenten It was a built in symbol, but there is a variant that has no arrow.

Recently (today, actually) I decided that even though there are graphic issues with how well arrows render in isolation, they should all be separate. That means fewer symbols overall because you don't have to have two versions of each set of stairs.

Hi everyone! :D

This week, Ralf will be using the Fantasy Realm style of the Cartographer's Annual Vol 3 to draw an overland map in a classic D&D style.

We hope to see you there, but if you can't make it you can always see the show later :)

Its a lovely map. Amazing what a difference a change of colour makes, isn't it :)

@Bidmaron - This is the spot where I started looking, and the search for all the possible textures and symbols took me 8 weeks. There's no guarantee that I got them all, either.
