Easy enough to lighten up (depending on the program you are using), not sure how to do it in CC.

[RogerStenning]

SG - this is how I did it... note that this definitely works on CC2 Pro, dunno about CC3.

OK, there are a shedload of layers in a CC2 map. The important one for the grid point of view is "HEX/SQUARE GRID". Make this your active layer, and freeze and hide all other layers. You should now only see the hex grid.

Click the "Change Colour" icon (left hand icon bar), then select the entire hex grid in the drawing area (I find clicking outside the grid, andthen dragging the clicked mouse over the grid most effective). Then click the colour you want in the left hand colour bar.

Voilà.

New hex grid colour.

Repeat as required until satisfied.

Thanks for posting your solution - I'm not a CC user but I'm sure others will find this useful.

Some day Steel General. Some day. You will turn.

The version 3 map is looking very good.
Can't wait for the big bad-tempered Ewoks to come out and play

In CC3, you've also got the option of adding in transparency of the sheet being used for the hex grid.

Valarian -

Oooo Transparency I likes transparency...

I hugs it and pets it and squeezes it till its' eyes pops out at supersonic velocity and calls it R'Kdhrhejwelizfgt'khertfgi

Oh, if you can pronounce that, you get to construct the H'Hnaarouhwn language!

Hmm ... Rah-Ker-Der-Hedge-Well-Iz-Fer-Ger-Teh-Ker-Turf-Gee
How's the pronunciation?

The sheet effects in CC3 allow you to do some really nice things.
e.g. Raised cliff edges on coastline and blurring to soften the image. The roads and contour colouring in the image have transparency applied

Close. Unfortunately, you just asked for ham, paper, and extra-strong mustard. You did not, regrettably, call it a Hyperdyne Spanner

Hope you gargled plenty of TCP after trying to say that, by the way - Hnaarn has a habit of shredding Human Vocal chords

Nice map, yeah, I can see how certain effects might now be possible with CC3 - cheers
