Now you've got your base map. The rest is pasting bits from old
Forest, swamp, and Workshop layers, or using the custom brushes.
== Text ==
As mentioned before, the text on the map uses Monotype Corsiva (mostly at 13-point).
Before you go crazy with the text tool, make sure that the following options are enabled:
hinting, force auto-hinter, and antialiasing.
Color values are presented in the following order: HTML notation, HSV, RGB.
The text that is not overlayed on the parchment labels uses the default color, pure black (000000, 0/0/0, 0/0/0).
Finally, the text that is overlayed on the parchment labels uses this color: 413422, 35/48/25, 65/52/34.
== Parchment Labels and Text ==
The parchment labels and the text that is overlayed onto them are stored in different layers.
The parchment labels are stored in layers like this: "<insert head name here> (overlay)", while
the text is stored in layers like this: "<insert head name here> text (overlay)".
The text overlayed onto parchment labels is to be set to 13-point and is to use this color: 413422, 35/48/25, 65/52/34.
The parchment layers that are to be overlayed onto forest pieces are to have their layer opacities set to 90%, while other
parchment layers are to have their opacities set to 75%.
== Brushes ==
In order to install the cartography brushes just go to File >Preferences >Folders > Brushes
Note: Aside from the city/town/fort/signpost marker brushes, the trail dot brush, and the swamp brush, do not bother with these.
In order to install the cartography brushes, just go to File >Preferences >Folders > Brushes
Then hit the button that is to the leftmost on the second pane; then type the path to the brushes or hit
the button next to the area where one would type the file path; then direct it to the directory where
the brushes are.
