@RetailPleb I think the shape of what you are asking for there may be some kind of 'Encyclopaedia of CC Mapping' (based on the Tome of Ultimate Mapping and all of the 220+ Mapping Guides) in numbered parts that includes not just the core app but every part of the software. That's quite different to the hour long friendly mapping sessions we call Live Mapping, as the Tome has 754 pages, not including the appendix or index.

Ideas like this are nice, and I think most people would agree that it would be an excellent thing to have such a set of reference videos, but as most who have attempted it in the past have discovered there is just so much of Campaign Cartographer when you include all its add-ons and annual issues that actually doing it might be an impossible task.

We also have CC4 in the making, so anyone that completed such a heroic task would have to do the whole thing all over again - if they succeeded the first time.

...

EDIT: Visualising this for some reason recalled a memory of having to watch a 3 hour instructional video on how to use Affinity Designer that covered pretty much everything I've ever used in that app. I was exhausted, and have never forgotten the experience - something a bit like helpful torture.

Cities are well known for it.

While I can't explain all the technicalities involved there, I can suggest a few tips on how to cope with it.

In addition to reducing the resolution, you could also try 1 or more of the 3 options available in the Shading panel of the Display Settings dialog.

If you work on one sector at a time you can put all the other sectors on different layers and then hide them, though they might be on the same sheet.

No worries. Blogs tend to get forgotten these days. I forgot all about these two myself.

I think the written tutorials Quenten was referring to are these two blogs?

EDIT: I can't believe they're 6 years old now.

Ah, a good choice. I used that one to do the Ferraris Style a few years ago. I've moved onto other apps these days, but I still use Krita from time to time to touch up seamless tiles that didn't quite go the way I wanted them to in other apps.
