That's quite an interesting look. I had never envisaged Spectrum being used with political borders, but it seems to do ok :)

Playing with sheet effects to see what they can do is the only way to really learn how to use them in the future. Too many people never even try the less common ones, but they all have quite interesting uses.

When you put more details on the map, if the borders really start to look odd, try making them a lot thinner first before you get rid of them. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

This is looking so much better now there isn't all that huge area of white space without any detail :)

It's good, but I feel like there is a fog or something. What blend mode are you using for the blue sheet?

Oh I like the transparent water... or are those transparent rocks, around the base of each support :)

That's a really lovely map, Andre :)

It's a similar idea to the one I had with my own area - to show the street within the area. I think mine will look quite a lot different though. I've decided to use a parchment background for the area and map the houses of my street as detailed House objects using the CD3 roof fills, grass etc - much like you have there with the Schley style.

I think, though, that I will have to revise my rather sketchy idea of what is actually in my street. Your idea is perfect. Maybe I will go for a coven, since I only have 6 houses in an out-of-town place. So where yours looks like a delightful place to visit, nine can be a street to avoid! LOL!

That's really strange. It worked for me just now. I will say that it took a few seconds to wake up and respond, but I guess that my download manager was doing a load of handshaking stuff with the host. The file is 1.87GB. That's fairly large because of the graphics it contains.

What browser are you using. Mine is Edge, and I'm actually using IDM (Internet Download Manager) which speeds things up considerably.

The one without the grid.

The tiles on the floor texture work as enough of a grid anyway.

Nice work, Andre :)

Whatever you did differently with the smoke at "Mist and Fog" you might want to repeat with all the other chimney smokes.
