The major new features are:
- A child map feature (aka sub-maps.) This allows you to select an area of your map (or even the entire map) and "drill down." A new map is created with the hexes prepopulated with terrain based on the parent map. You can make the sub maps 4 hexes across for each hex in the original/parent map, 5:1, 6:1, 10:1, 12:1, 20:1, 25:1 or 30:1.
- You can right click any area with a feature and add "feature decorations" that let you put a star, triangle or some text at any clock position around the edges of the hex. This is useful for noting if a star system has a naval base, starship repair facilities, etc; the friedliness/lawfulness of a town or city; the attack/defense/hit points of a military unit; etc.
- Finally, there is a new tool set called "shapes" to draw polygons and circles/ovals and new map items for a different style of mountain ranges, forests, etc that better match the 1st edition World Of Greyhawk poster map style.
There are still some odds and ends I want to fix before this goes out as an full release, but I thought some of you may want to try it.
