Dundjinni V CC2, Please Help

[DralonXitz]

Hello ENWorld members, I am a GM with a Dilemma. I have decided it is time to get a Cartography software. I have tried many, and narrowed it down to these two. I used both demos, but I am still unsure. Here are my dilemmas:

Dundjinni Looks Better
CC2 Seems to Do More

I love the way Dundjinni looks, but I have not seen any World Map type things, Plus since I do Sci-Fi, Cosmographer seems good. Can someone reccomend me which would be worht my 40.00?

They really do two different things. CC2 excels at larger scale maps while the Dundjinni maps make phenominal small scale and battlemat maps.

That said, CC2 can do the smaller scale maps, although they will lack the pretty that DJ has. Also DJ has a campaign art pack that met with mixed reviews but does allow for a little larger scale. Still if you want to map out a whole country or world, CC2 is your best bet.

Now DJ is a little easier and faster to use, I find CC2 to be much more powerful and flexible.

My solution was to use both. I use CC2 for my world and larger area maps, while I use CC2 for my actual scenario maps and occasionally as a battle map.

One other issue is that CC2 maps can be easily used in an item you want to publish. DJ has a pretty restrictive EULA regarding the publication of any of its maps.
