    new guy with a few questions.

    Atlas RTS can make a perfectly good plan, and it's not too hard to work with at all. This was done with RTS and then I added scenery suggestions with Microsoft Paint: as to the 4x8 question, it sure is easy to get started, but it's not the best use of space since you need walking room...
