You are right.
Unfortunately there's several glitches, at least half a dozen. I made screenshots of parts of this map and then pasted them together. I made some errors... it's really hard to paste a map together from dozens of screenshots. I also forgot to turn of the grid and that's why a large part of the map has small dots everywhere.
I was trying to clean up the map, but it's such a beast that Campaign Cartographer 3 crashes a lot. It was getting a chore cleaning it up. And as this is a hobby and not something I do for a living, I decided to leave it as it is right now.
Next year I will get a much faster computer (this one is 3 years old) and then I will have a look and see if Campaign Cartographer 3 handles this map better.

In this verion of Sirilion I did some cleaning up. Start in the northwest corner and then move east. You'll hit a border and you will see what I mean.
I wanted to redo the whole map like this but it just got to frustrating. There's probably even more glitches in this map, as I quit redoing it when only at about 20% finished.
This map made me scared to do more city maps of this size. And I still need to map the three other great cities of Iffraon, Velakron and Miston. Ack!
Some day...

Spectacular
This is truly amazing! I have a feeling a group of players may very well be traversing these streets shortly.
Thanks! I'm really glad you've shared this with us.

So, the good news: I have found a way around the crash bug while saving (found it on the Profantasy forum). It's even a lot quicker than just rendering the map. That means I can now render maps in huge dimensions, without cutting and pasting screenshots together.
The bad news: it messes with some of my settings. In below (HUGE!) example the city walls are too thick for example. Hopefully I can fix this by messing with the effects.
More bad news: I am now running into the limitations on file size on this forum. I saved a version that started with 6000 x something pixels. Had to resize it to 4000 x something.
This is quite a breakthrough for me and very happy with it. I can now create insanely large maps. Phear my power! MUHAHAHAHA

Bravo Sir. Do you have any tutorials you've made for CD3? If you do please share, I am still new and trying to learn the program.
