How very curious!

We may never know how that happened, but the drawing tools without the relevant CA are (as you suspected) useless.

A magnificent effort from both of you :)

The best advice I can give is to tell you to imagine what kind of map you would like to be shown if you were sitting waiting to play a game. That way, you have a standard to aim for, which leaves you with the task of finding the right style and getting the map done.

There is a page of postage stamp links to all the Cartographer's Annual issues here. While there's a lot more to the full range of styles available, this is the bulk of them. Each annual is sold as a batch of 12-13 issues. You buy the annual, and if it is already complete you get one installer for the whole set of issues. If you buy the current year's annual you can download each new issue at the rate of one a month.

Oh, so you are from Iceland, Tex?

I look forward to seeing your progress :)
