wow you are right about the ugly colors. The interface looks easy enough to use though. I've got a similar program that my brother gave me. Its for making dungeons and dragons maps. It's really old though. I haven't tried installing it on my system since I got XP. Thanks for showing me that screen shot.
Yes, the look is more than craptastic without postwork. But it does make laying out land masses, rivers, mountains etc really easy, And it's not really difficult to toss a hue adjustment on it on APShop, burn the edges, toss the compass rose on there and stick in nice fonts. That takes longer than the actual building itself.
Glad the screenshot helped, I always find it easier to judge by SEEING myself.
And I find it hilareous that suddenly the google ads at the bottom of the page have links to the program home page now!
