There are a few things that aren't on the right sheet, but I'm not sure which sheet these things should really be on.

For instance, you have what appears to be the landmass on the POLITICAL BORDERS FRONT sheet, which is on top of most of the other stuff - hence everything vanishing.

This is what's on the LAND sheet.

And this is what's on the POLITICAL BORDERS FRONT sheet

If I start moving stuff around between sheets for you that will leave you in an even bigger mess, so I have turned the background to the sea texture and left everything else as it was.

If you want to move things between sheets, like moving the land to the LAND sheet from the POLITICAL BORDERS FRONT sheet, first isolate the POLITICAL BORDERS FRONT sheet by hiding all the rest (that's what is shown in my second screen shot). Then right click the Change Properties button on the left and pick Move to sheet...

Select all the land polygons and hit D for do it, then pick the LAND sheet as the destination.

I've noticed that you appear to have the land polys and a set of identical black outlined polys on the same sheet and layer, so you may have to select by colour or fill to separate them. Select options can be accessed by right clicking when you are asked to make your selection.

Thanks Helen :)

This is just an analysis of what's there and what isn't on the WALLS sheet alone.

There are 3 entities on the walls sheet. One is a spiral staircase symbol, and the other 2 are lines drawn with one of the Bogie's Mapping Collection tarmac fills. I don't have the BMC installed, so these are all red X entities on my PC.

There is a Color Key on that sheet, but there are no pink polygons or lines, so nothing is being cut.

I totally forgot to extend the forest and the cliff shadow where I expanded the map a little to make more room for the legend, so here is the final version uploaded to the competition thread.

There's a hi res image in my gallery here.

Here is Elkton, Alarius North Central.

The WIP thread is here.

Larger version in my gallery.

Good luck everyone! :D

Oh I see! Yes, I didn't like the dashed lines. Sorry Wyvern! All my elks have four good legs and are big enough to just wade through the snow.

Still open to suggestions.

I've changed a few names and written a possible history...

One possible history...

The first to come this way were the elves, who escaped the growing noise and fuss of the humans to come and live in harmony with the wilderness. As these things happen, eventually tales of gold and incredible wealth to be found in the hills around caught the attention of the dwarves, and they were not the sort to let an opportunity go by.

Akiya Pine is said to grow on the spot where the elven queen made her last stand. Some even say that the pine is Akiya – that she transformed herself on the point of death, and that her people likewise comprise the trees of the south facing slope either side of Elkton.

It was only after they were gone that the dwarves realised the elves had never been wealthy. However, they followed their dwarf instincts and found a pipe (a deep igneous intrusion) of diamonds deep underground through Maws Cavern.

And what diamonds they were! Big as elks, some say. This is how the settlement they and their human partners built came to be known as Elk Stone, or Elkston.

The dwarves worked out the diamond mine and moved on. In their wake they left a perfectly good but rather empty settlement, much of which fell to ruin. However, Elkston was now on the map, and eventually attracted a slow trickle of outcasts running for cover – criminals mainly, but among them the various were-folk who had been treated little better than they by the everyday folk of Alarius.

Today the population is low but steady. Strangely, they are mostly were-folk - mainly were-wolves and were-elk, but there are others among them who are a little more unusual, such as the huge were-boar, Jungen, and the tiny were-hawk, Shinsa.

Outcasts continue to arrive in Elkston; thieves, murderers - anyone with a price on their head, but for some reason they don't seem to do very well. Most inexplicably vanish within the first year, along with their associated bounty hunters. Maybe they cross the bridge and flee the ghosts of Akiya’s battle along the trails of the lost.
