I like it and I'm beginning to understand better the amount of work that goes in to Gandwarfs maps.
I've found a few features I'll explore a bit.. Using sheats to make multi leveled buildings and so on.
Ok, questions for the pros now:
-Using a bitmap as background.. possible?
Yes. In fact that is the method for tracing over raster images.

You actually add the texture to the symbol if you are talking raster texture. I believe you can do it with sheet effects as well, but I haven't really had time to get into them enough to explain how.

I believe that is done via the City menu. I don't have it in front of me to check though.

Turn off all other layers, save as PNG.

You can save any view of the map, but individual sheets would probably have to be saved as a file.
