  • can't view all of my map

    The LAND Sheet has no Color Key effect on it, and neither does the COASTLINE Sheet, on which the magenta patches have been drawn. In fact, no Sheet in this FCW has a Color Key effect on it currently. I also note a couple of those magenta patches are on the MERGE Layer - you DO NOT want them on that one!

  • A generic ruined town, 3 different settler groups

    The placement of the buildings seems a bit too uniform and disconnected from the road network, perhaps. Not sure how modern a setting this might be intended for though.

    I suspect the red British markers in the WW2 text you mentioned Mike, might be because the traditional colour to show possessions of the British Empire (as it still was during WW2) was red. Plus it's been very commonly used in other military history and wargaming texts I've read as well down the years. There may be also an element that during the Napoleonic wars (indeed also in the almost-century before and after), many of the defining British troops wore red uniforms, the French blue, hence somewhere in all this came about the dominating idea of British = red. Probably!

  • Several maps for (random forest) encounters

    The default sun position in CC3 is from the north west... even though the sun is only ever in that direction for real if you live in the southern hemisphere.

    Not quite true, Sue, as from the northern hemisphere in summer, around June-July, the Sun sets in the northwest too. From much of Britain, that's around or indeed north of, true azimuth 315°. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  • A small village

    The Cyrillics will be originally Bulgarian, of course, as it was they who created the script, back in the 9th-10th centuries ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

    Puzzled as to why the title isn't also in Cyrillics though (other than to help out most Forum readers here, that is!)?
