My very first map
This is pretty much my very first complete map ever. It's been done with CC3 in the what I think excellent Pete Felon style and shows the Free City of Myr and the surrounding area for a planned campaign in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" setting. Criticism and advice are welcome.
That's a pretty nice isometric style map, far better than anything ISO that I've ever done. Good job
Good work Wired. Thats a real neat job for a first map.
Beautiful map, and an excellent rendition of the Pete Fenlon Style. Have you ever played around with the Sarah Wroot map-pack from the 2007 Annual?

Not yet, I'm just getting started with the standard CC3 and the Pete Fenlon styles, but it looks interesting enough.Originally Posted by NeonKnight

Welcome to the Guild Wired! Very nice map. ISO mountains + ISO trees = everything right with the world. In my personal preference though, the trees are way to densely packed together,especially in the upper right of the map.
Anyway, post tons more! And if you need any inspiration or tips, be sure to check out the tutorial section.

I agree with you there, but I'm not certain as to whether I can even change that. The CC3 toolset allows you to draw larger swaths of territory basically with one brush instead of modelling them all individually. In the normal CC3 style that works okay, but with the Pete Fenlon style it always looks this densely packed.
I surely will. Right now I'm working on a larger map showing all those Nine Free Cities, still with the Fenlon style.Anyway, post tons more! And if you need any inspiration or tips, be sure to check out the tutorial section.

I have no idea how CC3 works. I know with Fractal Mappers "fill with symbols tool" you can set a density so that your items can get a bit of breathing room if you like. In any event, still a very nice map.

I've never played with the Fill with Symbol feature of CC3, but I am quite sure it has controls for density and what not.

It's the default terrain feature. Might be I can change the property settings for it, though I have no idea what to look for. ENglish not being my first language probably doesn't help either...
For the short term since I bought the programme I've come to prefer manually drawn settings instead of the "default" features.
