SS5 and B&W Cities
It's been a while since I played with SS5, but I remember one way of turning the map to greyscale was to add an RGB Matrix Process to the Whole Drawing and pick the Gray preset for it.
The fact that the folder is called Color doesn't mean there is a black and white version.
Here is a shot of one of the example maps with the RGB Matrix Process added.
I've just noticed that you may have to change the shade of the glow on the text sheet to the palest grey to stop bits of the letters falling out when they are over black parts of the map.
Theoretically, you should be able to turn any style to greyscale using the same method, but I've not tried any of the others.

CA212 Terrains with Symbols not working
Here's a short checklist of the repair process:
- Delete the forests in your existing map, save the map and close CC.
- Download a fresh installer for Sarah Wroot Revisited, and install it by right clicking the icon and picking Run as Administrator. Use the Repair option, and allow CC to open the example map at the end of the installation.
- Reopen your map and try drawing a new forest.
If that doesn't work you might have to contact Tech Support.

Mapping Europe 1790s
The dotty fill is the grey shading. I don't think we have one like that, though I do remember showing a dotty fill on here some considerable time ago. It's not a published fill.
I found it! Wow, that really was a very long time ago. The third one here is probably a possible fill, but use it very small scale so it looks grey. https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/7039/dotty-fills
