Hi everyone! :D

In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will be starting on the creation of a new city mapping style, based on a set of maps he created years ago. This is a project that will extend over several sessions, so be sure you don't miss the first one.

Come and join in the fun live on Youtube here:

Or you can watch it here later if you wish

It's a good enough map, but I think it might look better if you reduced the thickness or opacity of the hex grid a bit.

That's a pretty map :)

This set of tutorials by Remy might help.

Depending on the type of map you are making...

Dungeon style symbols are usually imported at 100 px per map unit

City symbols are usually imported at 40 px per map unit

Overland symbols are usually imported at 20 px per map unit.

So it really depends on what type of map and how big you want your shield.
