    Nice, my only crit being the "Lost Coast" (?) label isn't very clear, particularly zoomed out.

    Yeah the labelled version is in the finished maps. I've been playing around a lot with text for various things in CC3 this weekend to try and get a style I like but that's for a new project I think. I've found that the text can really ruin a map or can elevate it, more important than I gave it credit for until I tried this! I've only really done dungeon/battle map type stuff before and I label nothing on those, I don't even put a grid in.

    The criticism of the title being too hard to read is more than fair, I think what I might do next time is have something like an open scroll as a backdrop for the title text to separate it from the background. Unless I'm mistaken though, I'll probably have to do that in Gimp after the fact, not sure you can do it in CC3.
