  • Thinning out Styles

    If you mean the end of year installer that contains all that year's annual issues (12-13 separate issues), then no.

    All your favourites should be easily picked out of the list of templates in the New Map Wizard. Are you having difficulty finding things?

    That might be this post:

    Paragraph 4 gives you a general all-around fix for the problem.

  • Numbering/Labeling Conventions thread

    I was taught (several decades ago now) that you numbered the municipal buildings and churches first, then the features of interest like parks and historic sites and finally the local landmarks - waterfalls, etc. However, given the same map two different cartographers would probably number it quite differently according to their personal opinion on which of the features or which of those groups is more important than the others. So in the end it boils down to what Wyvern said:

    As long as your labelling is clear and unambiguous, and makes sense to you, I'm not sure anything beyond that is altogether important.

  • How Can I Draw Real-World Places in Campaign Cartographer?

    It sounds like you need a hex style where the hexes are ready-built to be placed on a snapping grid, though that might mean the coastlines, rivers, and boundaries, etc. are more hex shaped than you would probably like them to be.

    Perhaps something like Hex Overland? It's in the same Cartographer's Annual as the last example I showed you - the 2010 annual, or "Volume 4".

    These are the symbols from that style.
