It's down to personal preference in the end, but that looks nicer to me.

Don't worry too much about what other people (including me) think and say if you feel it needs to be more obvious/darker than that.

You might find this FAQ helpful - particularly the short video:

Not to worry. I work from home and live alone. It was over a day before I remembered the hour had changed in my own country.

Hi Brian :)

There's no catalogue of fills, as such, but they are usually named in a fairly standard way. For example if you go to the C:\ProgramData\Profantasy\CC3Plus\Bitmaps\Tiles folder and put "Farmland" in the File Explorer search bar, you will discover all the fills called Farmland from all the styles you have installed.

Can you link to the video where you saw this fill being used? Many of us can identify styles from the fills and may be able to help you locate it that way.

There are lots of free third party assets available. This is a useful thread to explore:

That's better again because the lit side of the dunes aren't bleaching out now. Depending on time you could play with all the settings till you get it looking how you want it to look.

A beautiful map :)

Good luck with the writing.

CC3 provides a way to automate hex grid creation.

In the Draw menu find the "Hex or Square Overlay" option and click it.

This will show you a dialog like this one below, where you can specify which way up you want your hexes and how big you want them in map units. If your map is an imperial overland map this would give you hexes that are 6 mile hexes. In a metric map the same settings would give you hexes that are 6km hexes. In a city or dungeon map, 6 map units would be 6 feet in imperial templates and 6m in metric templates.

If the grid you create is wrong just delete it and try a different scale.

I hope that helps.

You should find it a lot easier to see where the moon should go once you've done that.

Your rivers are set to be colour number 14, which is towards the end of the top row of palette colours. Those top 2 rows aren't meant to be modified at all, so before we put the changing colour problem right it's best if we use Change Properties to make all the rivers some other colour that doesn't appear in those top 2 rows.

I picked a dark purple swatch near the bottom of the palette (number 227) and changed 227 to be your specified RGB shade, then attached the palette to the map and saved it. Then I changed the properties of the rivers to be colour 277. Let me know if this has cured the problem.

There are lots of bits of river in this map. If I've missed any all you have to do is use Change Properties to make them colour 227.

When you open the palette you should see the altered colour.

60 minutes :)
