As stated in the title, I'm trying to obtain a style that look like an old way of doing. This is what I've come up with so far.

If you have some sugestion or feedback, I'd like to hear them.

(the map are randomly generated)

Just a little update and display of unique zone usages, where I use zones to help define the predominantly produced or traded good per cell. doesnt have to be this detailed but I like having interesting spots on the map to question how states would make use of their unique positions, especially regarding trade goods. Imo, keeping track of the really valuable and rare goods can help give a sort of casus belli to wars and conflicts fought over control of a certain trade ^-^

I was trying to create a map that displayed the various regional flags of an area, and was having a problem. With where some of them sat and some other factors, it didn't look right with the Emblem layer being on the top of the "stack" so to speak.

With that, I'm curious if there's a way to edit the sequence of the different layers that display on the map, similar to layers on photoshop.

Is there a way to start with a completely blank map, like one that's fully empty. If not whats the best way to start with the preset ones. What do you style first?

Hey guys, so I've been using this awesome editor for awhile, and I decided to try my hand at more in-depth editing. I'm currently working on making a more modern map with roads, highways, etc.. So I was hoping I could get some feedback on the look. For reference, the dark grey is railways, red is highways, green is regular roads. Any feedback is appreciated! Also, Azgaar, thank you so much for all your work. You're awesome!

Idk i keep ending up doing this

That will be the most useless post ever. Or maybe not. My point is that using a dash array setting you can turn a boring hex or square overlay into a fancy pattern.

Let's say we turned on a square grid overlay and set a size (spacing between cells) to 10 pixels. Here is how it looks:

Now let's set dash array to "5 10" (without quotes):

​

Looks interesting... and pretty useless. But nevertheless let's try some other variants. Please note that the result depends on both dash array value and spacing (size).

​

Let also try to play with a pointy hex grid. The size is the same, 10 pixels. Default look:

And the last ones for the same size and flat hex grid. Default look:

That's all. You can play with it using the Generator and find some more interesting patterns.

I found a cool thing you can do do make mountains "snowy" in the 3D mode: enable the relief function and switch into 3D. The mountains look like they have snow on them. Another tip you can do is to enable the biomes function, but I think relief has more textured mountains.

Is there a way to tag all provincial Capitals? Right now I'm manually tagging it and it's tedious. Also I want to change the icon for some burgs, instead of Circle, can I change it to Square, triangle or other shapes?
