[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 2686690, member: 32740"] I use CC2 and would never use anything else. But, my recommendation of it has to be tempered. It isn't everyones cup of tea. First is the fact that it typically requires a certain amount of initial learning time. It isn't difficult to learn but it does require effort, generally just so that you can finally "get it" as to how/why it does what it does. It's not uncommon that you will hear that people buy it, try it briefly, get too easily frustrated, leave it for months or a year, then go back to try it again, and LOVE it. People that use CC2 seem to handle making maps as almost a seperate, but related hobby to gaming. If that's you then CC2 is your software of choice and the more you put into it the more you get out of it. Also if you are looking to be making large-scale campaign maps, and maps of decent-sized dungeons, castles and buildings. If all you want is tactical maps for ENCOUNTERS then CC2 may not be what you want or need. CC2 continues to improve all the time, it has an amazing user community that is willing to help in any way and the actual Customer Service from Profantasy is absolutely stellar. What it can't do is make maps FOR you and that seems to almost be what some people sort of expect from it. CC2 is really just a very specialized CAD program. That gives it strengths and capabilities that other map-making software just can't hope to hold a candle to. [/QUOTE]
