I'm afraid not. It's one of the many things on my to-do list. There may be some things squirrelled away on the messageboard (I can't remember), if not just ask me on here.

Hi Vic, I'll answer the questions you asked here. Hopefully I can get you started.

To create and design a building, select a square on the map. Then in the 'Square Details' window choose the 'Building' option (below 'Nothing').
When you do this you'll see the building appear on the right and also a couple of extra little tabs in the top left. If you click on the third tab you'll see just a couple of options, garden and fence. If you click on the floor number '1', in the top right, you'll suddenly see all the other options appear. You can then click and choose them as you please, remember this only applies to one floor. To add another floor click button with two square shapes on it. You'll see a floor 2 appear which you can click on and edit in the same way. The trash can deletes a floor. Hit Save when you're done. The screen works in a similar way for trees and roads although look at the mode menu option to quickly allow you to add roads and trees and sale boards without need for the square details screen.

Finally to remove a sale board (I noticed it's not actually straightforward as I removed some options in the quick map maker app), but I worked out you can set the square as a noticeboard, then set it to 'Nothing' and the sale board will dissappear.

Hope that get's you started.

Matt.

Any Tips On what you would like to see in the island? Do you want it to have an airport? I see other little islands do I make a city there or is that a part of something else?

the main section you have is south of capeville (there's a wall there at present to stop you getting there. There's no restriction on what you want to do although in fact an airport might be nice (there is an as yet undeveloped large island to the south-east). You can develop the little islands, if you design some ports I'll create a little ferry to travel between them all.

OK I will try to do my best. Not promising it will be the best but ill do my best it will take me some time. I still have some questions but ill try to figure out things first.
