    That's just how copyrights works unfortunately. It's still their material to do what they want with even if the products isn't available anymore.

    Even if WOTC doesn't keep the patches on their site any more, they're still available using archive.org though. I just tested the links, and they work fine.

  • width change on citys

    Looking at the coordinate readout on your screenshot, that second map looks to be absolutely tiny. Your cursor is all the way to the right of the map, and it reads (209,55) , meaning your entire map is less than 200 meters wide, while the top map, if the scale bar is to be trusted, is about 2500m wide.

    The "road wide" tool (I see your collections are collapsed, so I assume you use the default tool in the collection, which happen to be the imperial version) is 36 map units wide, so for a map that is approximately ~100 map units tall, that result looks pretty correct.

    So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the tools themselves, but rather your map size. The first obvious question is obviously, are you sure you set it up correctly when creating it, because it is clearly not the size of the map from your other image. Assuming you did, have you perhaps changed anything in the Map Units setting (File -> Drawing Properties -> Drawing Units), or re-scaled it using File -> Resize drawing area? Or even manually resized it using the :CC2SCALE: tool?

  • [WIP] The Dancing Princess (Community Atlas, Artemisia, Spiros Isle, Helinesa)

    That bow of yours isn't quite right. It isn't solid deck there. Here's a nice image from below from a 3D-model reconstruction showing a nice view of the area: https://cdn1.epicgames.com/ue/product/Screenshot/ScreenShot00002-1920x1080-f0bde8cb76a0de8cd4b3f512f0091aeb.png?resize=1&w=1920

    This ship uses a lattice of planks, many other sailing ships just use a rope net.

    Yes, delete it, it is just leftover construction aids.

  • Community Atlas - Alarius - Seal Island

    Generally a nice map, but I am not really sold on depicting the frozen ocean like that. It doesn't really look like an island in a frozen sea, but rather a huge landmass with a weird-looking mountain formation on it.

    What makes it even more weird is the existing neighboring map which uses that fill for the frozen edges covering the actual landmass, i.e. not frozen sea.

    Assuming an earth-like climate, which is the basis for Niberium, the island is also much to far south to have permanently frozen sea around the island, it's going to be clear most of the year, which then makes it a bit weird IMHO to depict the oceans in a frozen state, as a map is supposed to be usable year-round, but now it only shows a very limited snapshot in time, because even at times where it is frozen over, the edge of the ice will never bee in the same spot week to week.
