- one is Birthright anuire and Rjurik kingdom contour (with cc1)
- one is the original cc1 ergoth map

have fun looking at the old stuff.

- one is the 7th sea campaign

I really like your 7th Sea map but it threw me for a loop for a minute - it's a mirror image of the original map in the book.

I love 7th Sea/Swashbuckling Adventures, and did some maps of the Glamour Isles in CC3 in this thread:

Here is my 3D test version for my gaming world. It's done in photoshop CS2. I've had a hard time with the mountain range cause I want to keep them the way they are to fit the cities at the same place.

I'm not sure about my choice of color for each country.

Also, I got a little problem: I wih to take this image back into my cc2 world (see 1st post) to replace the old landmass. I can't import the bmp version of this file in cc2, because it's too big. The only way, is to downsize the file to 25% and drop the resolution down to 72 dpi. But this small version is blury at best.

Any advice???

Does cc3 do a better job about import?

Thanks in advance,

CC2 or CC3 will only be able to import bitmap files as a background to your map. You should then trace over the features to get them in to CC2 as vector graphics rather than the bitmap image.

I've add a little correction to my post above.

(Wish I could help on the tech issue, but just wanted to chime in and say things are progressing nicely here! Keep it up!)
