Welcome Dragonhawk. What kind of maps do you plan to create?

I never used CC2, but I think CC3 is worth it. Especially City Designer 3, which I use almost exclusively. There are some excellent video tutorials on the Profantasy site (or YouTube) on CC3 or Dungeon Designer 3 nowadays. Also if you plan to do cities, I am busy creating a few tutorials myself for City Designer 3.
