Kingdoms, settlements and roads

The Human layer

Switch Layer to view to Human. The Human layer panel has five tabs: Build, Plan, Roads, Names and Manage. Setting chooses the list of places you can build (Fantasy or Cyberpunk).

Place settlements

1. 1Choose the Place tool.
2. 2Pick a place in Build: settlements (hamlet to capital, port), strongholds, sacred sites, arcane sites or wild places.
3. 3Click the map to place it. It gets a made-up name; rename it in the panel.
4. 4Use Select / move to drag it somewhere else.

Kingdoms and regions

1. 1In Build, make a new region (a kingdom or another type).
2. 2Paint it on with the Region brush, or draw round an area with the Region lasso.
3. 3Erase region takes land back out.

Borders show as coloured lines and each realm's name is written across it.

Roads, names and fog

Roads: in the Roads tab, Auto joins settlements for you. Draw a road from one settlement to another; rivers on the way get a bridge.

Names: in the Names tab, draw along a mountain range, forest or bay to name it. Names show on the 2D map and the Map view.

Fog of war: choose the Fog of war tool and drag to reveal fogged land, or switch to Fog to cover it again.

Tip: Manage lists every settlement and region, with search, rename, delete and a button to go to each one.
