At the end of each phase I show the battle fought so far in that area on the strategic map. Not sure if I can get all of the necessary locations on the new map.<br /><br />I have two problems with map making. <br /><br />First I am just not very artistic. I am patient, and know what I want to achieve. However I have always been neat rather than artistic.<br /><br />Second I have never really mastered ProFantasy, which is the software I use for making maps. It is a bit like using the computer. Like people I know how to do the things I do most, but that is only scratching on what I could do if I could master the full potential.<br /><br />However it has given me a project for the summer months, which is what I needed. And I am enjoying trying to integrate the two different map styles.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Paul<br />thistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-28190462627155989232016-08-14T18:45:07.603+02:002016-08-14T18:45:07.603+02:00I think that the new style of campaign map is an i...I think that the new style of campaign map is an improvement, especially as it looks more recognisable as being the Iberian Peninsular.<br /><br />As I know from my own attempts, drawing maps is not that simple or easy, but I have found MS Paint to be an excellent program. It might not be the most sophisticated piece of software, but the fact that you can manipulate images at pixel level makes it extremely useful.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
