    Fields can be a bit difficult to get right. This surprises a lot of people, but it's true.

    Here are a few thoughts on the shape they take:

    • In a medieval field system there were quite often major and minor divisions in the UK. One large field area marked by a hedge or stone wall, with strip fields that were the responsibility of different tenants, and from which the stones were cleared to either side, causing ridges to build up between the strips - strip lynchets.
    • Fields tended to follow the contours around hills, and align themselves with a narrow end to the river, so that even if their boundaries were straight the grid they formed warped around these features.
    • Even in extremely flat areas the presence of a river or a road will disrupt the gird.
    • Not many places on Earth show boundaries that are exactly East-West or North-South. The grid, if there is one, can be aligned in any direction depending on which direction allows for the most convenient layout, or the greatest area put to the plough.

    These are only general rules of thumb. I'm quite sure these things are totally contradicted in many places that aren't England, but they hold true right here where I live.

    What Simon Rogers says on this thread is key to your request about the tokens in particular. Simon is our Managing Director, so whatever he says on the matter is the final word.

    Tokens, along with all the other artwork, are part of the "OUR ARTWORK" defined in the EULA.

    Hi Gameleaper :)

    Going on the EULA, and on Profantasy Team comments on similar threads, I suspect the answer to quite a few of those questions is a 'no'.

    The EULA can be found here: https://www.profantasy.com/service/license.asp

    Don't worry - Its not one of those really long ones.

    If you are still in any doubt after reading it the safest way to go is by contacting PF through your Technical Support contact form on your account page.

    Remy is right.

    Just as a side note here - the view window colour setting requires input from the user to do anything. You have to give it the number of the colour you want from the palette. For example 15 is white, and 0 is black. I wouldn't worry about that right now though, since the view window colour isn't anything to do with the real problem.
