[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1510954, member: 172"] I use Fractal Terrains and CC2/FT. Which means that from the beginning, my scale is "the whole world on the screen", whatever that means. The largest map I'll print out is of my South-America sized continent. More typically, if I want to focus on a region, I'll slice off a peice of my map and detail it more, about 500-1000 miles on a side printed on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. I forget what size my hexes are, but I seem to remember the numbers 250, 125, and 50 for various maps. Here's a very low res version of my continent map: [url]http://members.tripod.com/~hawk_wind/trinalia/tringuid.html[/url] And this page has an old version of a smaller "sliced" local campaign map: [url]http://members.tripod.com/~hawk_wind/trinalia/ssccamp.html[/url] Note that those two are older maps from my 2e campaign (I think they were for CC1 in DOS). I imported them into newer versions of CC2 and even pulled it into an FT world map, and they are much more colorful and nicely detailed. I am currently not using that world but a fantasy version of Earth. For a while, I was just using an inexpensive small world atlas as well as a world history atlas I have. FT has a great utility for pulling in real world data, so I am now using that to make maps with my fantasy details. [/QUOTE]
