autoborder plx, stop with autoborder and I'll give advice
Nothing is wrong with autoborder. Aslong as you know how to edit the map in RAWs aswell/make the shapes less squary.
Also, I doubt you would use only RAWs when doing a whole city/island, where there is both needed to be houses, hunting spots, quest & ofcourse nature.

I make cities in raws aswell.
But I mean the whole thing.
Spawns, hunting places, quests, houses, the shape - a whole continent - do you do that in raw? Remember, several spawns & hunting places are needed.
I doubt it.

You're improving & your mapping skills will hopefully get better.
Also, when you use the autoborder, you mapping will be more squary, while if you use the raw, the mapping will look more realistic because you won't have squary shapes.
Just continue mapping with raw & you will get much better.

So what you're saying is if you had to map a whole continent, the size of ~edron? Yalahar? Zao?
Then you would do everything by RAWs, also the spawns & dungeon quests aswell.
Why waste more time when you can just edit the auto bordered? It's not hard & you guys thinks it's a crime to use autoborder, but it isn't.
Anyways I'm off, keep mapping in RAWs but don't tell others they can't use autoborders, as you're just wasting more time.

The point is that you CAN make it less squary in autoborder too, I haven't becouse I'm still learning, but now I see how easy it is to not do it squary with the autoborder.
Exactly, for example, if you're making a whole continent, and youre gonna make the grass/water borders that is like sooo much work, then the autoborder will save you so much time and it will look identical to raw-made if you do it right.
So you make the grass/water continent borders/roads in raw too? Then you are wasting time in my opinion.
Thank you, and I don't think I want to bring this up more now haha, let me map how I want.
Anyways, im off to mapping!

Well what I mean is, that you do it with autoborder, then if ure not happy with it, u can simply edit the places where u want it diffrent with raw, simple as that.

All great mappers use raw, you know.
Just all dont use it 100%, just face the fact that some things is easier done with autoborder and the result is the same as with raw.
Anyways, I edited my last pic abit better or worse?

That doesn't mean you can't use auto border & then edit it with RAWs. Jesus, it's not hard.
