The problem you are encountering here is that there is both an outline and a landmass. When you use change properties, you end up changing both of them (or all 3 in this case). You need to select just the land poly.

In your case, the easiest way to do that is when using schange properties to select the landmass by the edge of the inner lake, instead of the outer coastline. There should only be one entity there. This saves you from doing other tricks to select only the right entity.

The august mapping competition and voting is now over, and here are the results.

As announced, there are 4 prizes. A $50 store voucher for best map, while the winner of most interesting floorplan can pick from one of the three products gifted by Steve Smith, Cosmographer 3, Source Maps: Cities and Fractal Terrains 3. The remaining two products goes to the two random draw winners with the first one getting first pick.

I'll send PM's to the prize winners.

And while some people will always end up ranking above others, all the maps submitted where great maps. Thank you all for participating, and congratulations to the winners; Quenten and AleD.

Note the following:

• Some people (like me and PF employees) are not eligible for the prizes, in these cases, it will simply go to the next person on the list.
• Only one prize per person, if the same person wins multiple prizes, following prizes will go to the next person on the list.
• If you don't want your prize, you can either accept it and just give it to someone else on your own discretion, or you can decline it and let it pass to the next person on the list.

So, with august firmly in the rear view mirror, the competition is over and it is time to vote for the winners.

As stated in the rules, there will be two categories to vote on. Think these through when voting, best map and most visually stunning map isn't the same thing, mapping is more than making things beautiful.

• Best Building: Who made the best building overall. This includes all the floors.
• Most interesting floorplan: Which floorplan is the most interesting one? A floorplan can be interesting because it has a special twist, because it is very highly detailed, because it has an interesting story, or whatever you think makes it interesting. Note that this is judged on the basis for each floor, not the building as a whole. For this category, visual looks is low priority, unless the visuals is what makes it interesting.

I am giving everyone two votes here, which means there are 4 poll questions below to answer, 2 for each category. Please vote even if you didn't take part in the competition.

I am going to keep the poll open for a week. I am also drawing the two random prizes at the end of the vote.

And as usual, don't despair if you end up with 0 votes. The number of people voting in these contests aren't large enough to give a proper distribution, so the votes tends to clump along the handful of maps that people like the very most, with the maps receiving few or no votes, even if they're not that far behind. That's what happens when you convert quality to numbers through voting.

All submitted entries are included in the vote, but certain people, like ProFantasy employees and contest managers are not eligible for a prize, so if they get into the top, prizes will just move down to the next one in the list. Same if someone don't want their prize, or one person wins multiple (Each entry is only eligible for one prize)

The entries are presented below

So, why draw maps yourself when you can just have the cat do it for you?

Guess I'll make sure to actually submit my own entry as well. Here's the final version of the little smithy.
