Glitch with new Annual
Nope, i did not have it saved in the Wizard folder - that would explain why it didn't replace any file when I saved it. Thanks guys 😁
Also, you're right, those options were both unchecked - I wonder why and how that happened? I've never unchecked them - and it's been quite a while since it's been saving like that - i've always just edited the png in PS afterward to get rid of the screen on the sides. Weird. In any case, I'm going to have a crack at this annual though I have work to do on my own projects, I just can't resist doing something for my own campaign - it's so pretty!!

What are your favourite style from an annual?

Too early for a CC4 wishlist thread, or is it timely?

Treehouse ideas
I usually build most of my maps, even villages, in DD3+. I've even done a modified overland in DD3+, but i've always operated outside the box as a freelance contributor to ProFantasy. Often I think many of my techniques are longer ways to do things, but I self taught by trial and error as reading tech mumbo jumbo confuddles my creative mind, lol.
Some of the trees were free from the CSUAC2 and Dundjinni, some a very talented artist friend created specially for me and a few i've got from my own personal collections i've gathered over the years some free, some paid for.
So What I did was put my first level of trees up - just a few as these are the smaller trees. Then a sheet for medium trees (these are the trees that will form the bases of the tree houses). Above the houses on the medium height level I created a sheet for the planks and treewalk first, then another sheet for the buildings - all of which i also obtained through means mentioned above. Then a sheet for high level trees for shade above all the others and again the same two sheets planks and buildings for the higher level queen's hut. I then did one last tree sheet for trees i wanted to be above the Queens hut.
It took me FOREVER to sort out what i wanted to do here because i had this tree village of this race of Amazonian Elves known as Elvian that terrorized the "Witchwood" and hunted, captured and either subjugated or traded through the slave trade, mostly though not exclusively, male travelers foolish enough to try to take the week's long shortened journey through the wood, rather than around it all fleshed out and imagined in my mind for MONTHS. It was so hard to sort out...but once i got it, i have to say, this is STILL one of my favorite maps and locations in my homebrew world :)
Honestly, i'd be more than happy to share the map with you, but due to the EULA and my respect for my fellow artists, i just couldn't, unfortunately. Hopefully this will help you figure something close to this, or even better :)
