Hey, look on the bright side. All those abandoned towns, villages and cities are adventure magnets. Who knows what's living there now. And of course someone left a treasure.
There's a woman who rode a motorcycle through the area abandoned after Czernobyl. Well, maybe... but the pictures are interesting.

Hmm, do you know where I can get some symbols for that? Mostly I just want some city symbols, but really I only have found one so far. That goes for anyone who knows where to get some city, or similar, symbols. PLEASE

Have you checked out the symbol fonts in these threads:Originally Posted by Airith

Apparently they're all CC2 symbols, or just Profantasy related ones, and I cannot figure out how to use them? Since it does say free I'm guessing I just can't figure out this 'View' program

AFAIK, most of them are ttf fonts (like wingdings). Just use them as text once installed into your system.

They're all .FSC files. Which is used by CC... But not the Viewer? I'm guessing I'll have to have that program to use them.
edit: I guess it's 'free' for CC2/3 users, which I guess I can respect. Now, any other symbols one might know about?

I thought I'd finally post an update of my redo. I quite like it, although this lack of symbols is stalling me a lot. I like and dislike how the forests turned out, I decided to follow the dirt a bit, that's why it's so broken up, although I liked that. Just that some parts stick up and look like clay or something.
Does the southern mountains look different from the northern ones? (divided by Torenir) It's just something that's been irking me for a while.
I can't make the current text more readable because I'm missing some of it still, sorry.
edit: Also, how does one go about connecting rivers to oceans? Although I only have one spot, it was just a 'meeting.'
(Sorry about the double post)

Most of the catalogues in the first link are CC2/3 format, but the second link has several wingding fonts suitable for mapping. Start with this post: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...91&postcount=8
I've used symbols from a couple of the Wingding fonts that come with Windows on at least one map.
