It's an area in square map units. In an overland map that will be miles if it is imperial, or kilometres if its metric. In city or dungeon maps map units are always either feet in imperial, or metres in metric.

If you are mixing styles and the symbols from a newly introduced style have the same name as those in the original or earlier style the FCW holds onto the first definition. It's hard to say what's going on, though. Maybe upload the FCW and list the missing symbols - see if we can add them and make them stay?

If you are hiding layers that might account for it, or even just the sheets. If you hide a sheet that might be the sheet those missing parts ended up on without you being aware they were there.

It's quite difficult to say what's happening without the FCW.

It sounds pretty complicated with all these different levels in one map. Could it be something to do with the sheet ordering and things not being on the sheet you think they are on?

Without the FCW it's quite difficult to make a good suggestion. If this is a private commission of some kind and the FCW can't be uploaded here, maybe contact Tech Support for help?

My goodness! 2 groups! You really are quite an enthusiast. I hope your players appreciate the care you take with your maps :)

This kind of flaw usually occurs when there are two nodes too close to each other and is more common in these heavily fractalised polygons.

When you say you tried changing the amount of nodes, do you mean you tried SIMPLIFY on the keyboard?

Great work, Mike :)

Though I am surprised about the aiming!

A dusting of snow is a really tricky thing - especially with this kind of map where its more about accuracy and altitude than artistic impression. Do you really need to partially obliterate the important information?

But if it's important maybe find a patchy snow fill and use it on a sheet with quite a strong transparency effect on it? Difficult to know what to suggest.

Yes that's right. It may just be a simple case of the TEXT sheet being too high up the list, or hidden.

Have a good sleep :)

It certainly looks like it should be visible.

Can you see the text on your cursor just before you place it? The only other thing I can think is that the text is there but incredibly small. If you think that might be the problem check the size of the font in Text Properties. Sometimes, and for reasons I'm not sure I understand, the text can start off really tiny.

Yes - but not on any set timetable.
