I would give them a default scale in import for the reasons Remy explained. If there's no scale they don't get smaller when you zoom out or larger when you zoom in. They just stay the same size, which isn't the size you will see when the map is exported.

Giving them a scale stabilises the situation so the tile actually looks the way it is no matter how zoomed in or out you are, and no matter how large or small you export your map.

The "attached version" Ralf mentions is the "Annual Cthulhu City (metric).FCT" file - which is attached to Ralf's comment.

That is correct. It doesn't matter if it's the wrong value.

Don't worry about asking too many questions, Tako. There are never too many questions.

And that was my main answer.

I'm sorry - I did search for the 'official Game of Thrones map' and various other combinations of those words, but I didn't find anything that was some kind of bone fide official map to get an idea of what you want. Instead I got all kinds of very different variations of the same land masses done in hundreds of different styles. So maybe if you could provide a link to the one you regard as being the definitive map I might have a better idea of what you are looking for.

I suggest a hyperlink to the ideal map because every one of these maps are copyright to the artist and should not be reposted here on the forum without their permission.

Hi Kevin :)

The best way to start is to absorb the information in the User Manual and work through the practical mapping exercise it contains. That establishes the basic uses of the software and should be enough for you to grasp the 'how to' of most things.

Then there are a huge number of video tutorials you can access here:

Also remember that if you get stuck and don't want to spend days trying to find just exactly the right bit of the right video, you can ask a question right here on the forum.

Excellent!

Thank you. I will look forward to seeing your maps :)

Sometimes they are included in the main catalogue, and others they have their own catalogues. Try clicking the buttons on the lower of the two button bars above the window and see what you have.

It depends on the style.

So when we attach a palette to a map we should have the MERGE layer active?

I might come back to that leaky pipe idea when I've fleshed out the rest of the set, Julian.

I hadn't really thought of this as a steampunk style as such. We'll see...

The best way of dealing with grids (as I understand it because I don't use VTT), is to leave them out of the final export from CC3 but to add a 5ft square of a solid colour somewhere it won't be in the way and use it to scale the map to the VTT grid.
