    Thanks mate, that did the trick for the time being. I guess I still have much to learn about how to tame the wild beast that is CC3 and the symbol definition aspect. sigh.

    Updated map, v4. Fiddled with the scale and am pleased with it. Will add a few more tweaks and fill in the area around the center mountain and hopefully call it finished.

    FINISHED....or so I am led to believe.

    Final thoughts of this map: Much harder than anticipated. Thanks to Midgardsormr for the symbol help, and the others for their valuable input.

    Once the map elders lay their seal of approval, I will post this onto the finished maps forum. As always, one with text and one without text.

    Praise I am transported...

    << VANDY, viewing shpena's map, feels himself being transported... >>

    "Aye, laddy. 'Twas a day, it was, when the land shook and rent itself into pieces. Ye suredly wouldabeen sore afraid, ye would. Yon mountain in the center came from the depths of the airth and now stands broody-like, guarding the plain and rumbling when anya man come near."

    << Shivering, VANDY finds himself back in the thread posting... >>

    Hi, shpena.

    I must echo others comments in that your map may be looked upon as "simplistic" but it carries a heavy presence -- one that captivates and gives one pause for thought.

    Great work on this map. Thanks for sharing it!

    Regards,

    Gary

    The little grass icons really help.

    I think the latest version of the map is maybe a little too crowded. Try reducing the numbers of dead trees and chasms slightly, less may be more in this case.

    @VANDY
    That was a great post. Made me laugh.
    Thanks for the post.

    @Bartmoss
    Killed a few trees and chasms off, hopefully it won't detract too much now.
    Thanks for the input.

    Thanks guys for taking the time to view my humble little map. More to come later!!

    Glad I could help. I'm a novice in CC, as well, but I learned that particular trick early on.

    I noticed a minor flaw. You seem to have used an unsupported char in the rune text to the right...
    Good job otherwise
