November 2017 Mapping Challenge: VeterHaven Fortress

[Mark Oliva]

I am not finding those labels to be very readable.

It all looks excellent except for the labels. I finally gave up trying to decipher a couple of them. The eye doctor doesn't think I need glasses, and I'm looking at the labels at maximum size on a good 27-inch monitor.

That's okay, guys Mark, after looking at it, other than the title, I can't read them either. So I will be changing the font at least on the text labels.

Mouse, the reason for that 'extra paper' is because of the new map border. I extended it to get a frame for the map, and cc3+ adds more screen when you extend past the original border. It's easy to fix, a simple crop job in Gimp will do it.

I did say except for the tinkering a bit, right ?

[Mouse]

You can dictate the exact extent and shape from within CC3 by using either 'Save as Rectangular...' option, but if you aren't familiar with doing that instead of relying on the frame, I won't go on about it now

[ladiestorm]

No, I didn't realize that, I will have to look into it, for next time. In the mean time, I crop it in Gimp, then I will post it.

[ladiestorm]

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen, let's try this again.

I changed out the font for my text labels, then realized with the new font a few of them ran into each other, so I went with numbers and a key to the side. I decided on a simple bevel so that they would stand out just a bit, but still keep it easy to read. I left my Title alone, because it's bigger and, well, I like the font I chose, and the color combination sort of looks like fire to me

So unless someone spots anything else that really needs to be fixed... This map is now complete!

Sorry. I can't find any more nits to pick. But I do have a curious (non-critical) question. What's this?

Servus,

[ladiestorm]

Remember I told you about the escape tunnels? That come out near the mountain cave? That's the other end

[Mark Oliva]

That's the end. I would have guessed it was the beginning! Guess I can't tell one end from the other! But at least we have a happy ending. Time to end this.

The end. Servus,
