    OK so I've remade the forest three or four times now. but I think I now have something that looks good. I've also put in the major settlements around the lakes. Two major roads leads to neighbour mps. Are they OK? Do you want me to change them? Hopefulle they don't end up in the middle of a mountain :-)

    OK here's the map.

    CC3's forest fill has always been my least favorite part of the application...I wish instead of filling it with a close-knit obviously tiling tree graphic it would instead randomly draw trees closely packed in the space you specify. Thats really my biggest beef...I love the colors...desaturated colors are my favorite.

    As for the forest, if you have the patience, I'd just place the trees yourself instead of using the forest fill.

    Ok so here is the latest version of may map. Some rather big changes has been done. I've also put in some names, mostly for cities. Still some things to do but I'm starting to feel that I'm in the right direction here.

    Still have to get a name for may region though....thinking...thinking....thinking....

    Any comments are welcome.

    That's looking awesome Clercon, the only thing I can say is that some of the city names are a bit hard to read, but that could just be me

    I love the levels each part of your map has, high barren hills to dirt covered ones, to grass covered ones.

    Those city symbols, came with CC3 right?

    Thanks for the nice words :-)

    Yes they did, the city symbols came with the january edition of the annuals. The hole style is from that set. The names of the cities are more readable if I increase the zooming. But I don't know how to save that to a jpeg file from CC3. Can you do that? Any expertise around here that knows? All my maps are saved in the same scale. you get no choice at all. Probably its possible but I don't know how.

    Try the command "wbs." CC3 will prompt you for two corners of your image. Once you click on the second corner, it will open the export dialogue. If I recall correctly, though, there is no option to set the resolution--it will use the resolution you last set for a normal export.

    Thanks for your answer. I did eventually find where to change the resolution of saved maps. When you set it to jpeg you have a button that says options. If you press that button before the save button. You get som options (quite obvious). I can't understan how I missed that before :-)
