Hello brandor :)

Yes, you can do all of that.

I recommend the Tome of Ultimate Mapping as a reference book that contains all the technical information you will need to do the job, and this forum as the place to ask for freindly and usually accurate help and advice.

For the first point - was the original a CC3 map? If it wasn't then you won't find the style ready made somewhere in our stock of styles.

However, you have accurately surmised that it wouldn't be too difficult to make something similar. That would mean picking and mixing different elements of different styles, like for instance using the tree symbols from 'CC3 Mike Schley Inks Overland' and creating drawing tools for the rest of the aspects.

The only thing you might find a bit difficult to emulate is the dotty fill. The rest is more a matter of setting up the correct line styles and making drawing tools for them.

On the final point - are these maps copyright by the artist? That's not a problem if you create your own for personal use, but paying someone else to copy them may be a problem if you haven't got permission to reproduce them from the artist.

I got both because the 15% off is part of the monthly newsletter (issued today). 25% off is the specific Cartographer's Annual resubscription email (issued 20th December - yesterday).

To be clear - that's not a total 40% discount. These are two separate buying options.

It will be along soon.

I think there was a lot going on around the time there is normally a holiday sale, like the new random dungeon generator and the Humble Bundle.

Hello TakoTsubo :)

The maps cover a huge range of styles. Red X's are where you don't have the symbols for the map. They are placeholders. This is why there is also a high resolution bitmap export of all the CC3+ maps, so that people who see red Xs can still have and use the maps even if they don't have all the styles.

The City and Dungeon menus and tools were added to the core app a couple of years ago along with a city style and a dungeon style to make it possible for people to draw basic cities and dungeons even if they don't have CD3 or DD3. So those are normal for CC3 these days.
