That is indeed a hollow in there.

Thanks :)

I always make varicolour symbols.

Don't forget this is just a first draft. There may be many different versions.

The disadvantage of having a separate sheet for the edge striping is that if you decide to modify the land shape you will also have to do exactly the same modification to the new EDGE STRIPE sheet polygons.

I don't think the hill poly works in that context very well. It was set up to be home to small smooth shapes about the size of the chameleon hills. The other options are down to personal taste. Feel free to experiment.

Great first map in the style :)

I wouldn't use the same symbol size for such a gigantic map. You would barely notice them on that scale. Perhaps create it at 1/4 of the eventual size? It's difficult to say what would look good, but why not try a couple and see how visible the symbols are. Remember that at world scale a single ridge symbol might indicate a small mountain range.

Last time, though, you weren't using a Color Key to cut huge and complex shapes out of the sea.

I wouldn't say it was overly complex - just that somewhere there are two nodes just a fraction closer than 0.3 map units.

It depends on 2 things. How large you intend to use this map, and whether it's practical to scale the river width up when there are so many of them.

For instance, if you want to have it as a large export that is 10,000 pixels on the long side you can get away with more rivers of a slightly wider line, but if you only want it to be 5,000 on the long side when exported, it might be less crowded with rivers if you delete the tributaries and just have the main rivers fractionally larger.

Best thing to do is to export it at the size you intend to use it right now and look at the rivers - see if they are a) visible, and b) cluttering up the map too much, or just about right.

This is also a good time to make sure they all reach either the coast or a very large lake/inland sea.

Looking good so far :)

Looks better now the grass is more blended :)

Oh I see.

The polygon on the WALLS sheet will have to be scaled using SCA.

The reason resize is set up the way it is, is because it's intended as a way to adjust the drawing area available for you to draw on - like extending the flaps of an extending table to spread the things on the table out a bit more. It's not actually a scaling tool for the contents of the map.

I'm not sure. Maybe we should ask Ralf tomorrow.
