When I say I had a lot of help from Ralf, I mean a LOT of help! LOL!

Hello chongjasmine

This is quite an old thread, so the information is no longer entirely correct. These days Profantasy have taken to doing the occasional Humble Bundle. You happen to be in luck, because there is a bundle you could have if you wished right now - here:

Profantasy Humble Bundle - 2020
(I suspect this link will not work after the bundle is over)

But there are now only 3 days left to get it as I type this comment, so I hope you read it before it's too late to choose.

Looks like a great starting map, Jim :)

Remy is right - the Community Atlas might be a good place to source some additional maps if you need stuff in a hurry.

I think this one has already been asked and answered by Remy in the Welcome thread at the top of the forum. I don't think Vanilla supports it.

I'm only speaking from memory here, but I think you have to go into edit mode to create a poll anyway. It's an integral part of the initial thread-starting comment.

You could always try one and delete it if it goes wrong. That's one of the advantages of the forum - you can delete stuff that goes wrong.

Try a dummy thread, then delete it once you've worked it out.

Yes :)

Just like any other symbol. You right click while you have the symbol on the crosshairs, and click Separate x and y values, then enter different values in the boxes.

You're welcome

Now I'm really looking forward to the rest of it.

You've done a really great job with this map

Does any world map need a scale?  I sometimes draw one, but I often wonder why, since the scale can only be accurate at the equator on an Equirectangular projection - which I am usually careful to point out by calling it the Equatorial scale.  As for the rest of it - I'm totally all at sea!  I only know what I learned from Geoff's Climate Cookbook.  I'm more of a geologist and biologist.

Thank you Sue and Remy for your input.

On Shessars world map there is a scale - I will adapt it in some way in my map. I like the scale on your world Jerion - @Loopysue - maybe I can use that one? Or will my map then look to much like a copy of yours?

What do you think - should the map also contain the names of the continents and should major drifts be named?

For the latter, however, I have to admit that I lack the creativity for creating fantasy names...?

Use away, André.  That's what the stuff in the annuals is for
