Thanks very much folks!

Of course, to be strictly accurate, most of the maps I've submitted for the Atlas this year were actually completed last, though of course there are often things that need tweaking even after they're "finished".

Thank you all so much! Came as a big surprise to me to be catapulted into such elevated company, I have to say!

Fine-looking map!

It's a little difficult to advise much with it, without knowing how like Japan it's intended to be though, beyond what you've already created here. For instance, is it at a similar latitude, as that might affect features such as vegetation? The frozen (?) islands towards the north suggest it may be further north than Japan now, for instance. Hokkaido is cold, but not glacial, by contrast.

Similarly, the sea to Japan's west is relatively shallow and very enclosed (obviously not the case here), while to the east in places, it drops away very rapidly, such as into the Japan Trench. That may only be of significance if you intend to make use of the seabed, however, though it could also have weather-pattern/climate implications for the land areas.

Yes it does, and will let me save the file to the last place I saved an FCW as it's supposed to.

Makes me wonder if it might be a Windows 10 thing, as I can't be sure it's always done this, or if it's just recently started. My recollection is that most of the maps I've started as new and saved from the usual templates have needed to be redirected away from that "wrong" (i.e. program) directory for at least the last half year or so. I haven't been keeping careful track though, so the actual time could be longer or shorter than that, albeit probably not shorter than since about May-June this year.

D&D, homebrew RPG systems, Ars Magica, Call of Cthulhu, Erin (fantasy Irish-myth-based wargames), Laserburn (science-fiction skirmish wargames) and Hordes of the Things (fantasy tabletop wargames), in terms of specific game systems, though a lot of what I've used CC3 and CC3+ for has been to provide maps to illustrate published ancient military history factual articles. I have a lot of hand-drawn maps from other RPG systems going way back too which might be fun to convert into CC maps at some stage. However, the Community Atlas mapping takes up most of my mapping efforts presently!
