I'm a middle aged wargamer who started drawing fantasy maps at about the age of 10, long before I had any idea that they might have any use.

I am now starting an 18th Century Imagine-Nations project to run as a campaign for a group of friends, and I want the maps to be a cut above my previous efforts; so I have acquired CC3 and am trying to find whatever long-suppressed genes for artistic ability I might have inherited from my mom. Once I have tapped the knowledge here and practiced my way up to mere incompetence, I shall be back for advice.
