You get the height contours of your selected area drawn on the game map.

Everything else you will have to manually add yourself - roads, woods, water, urban areas etc. But, the hexgrid in the Venhola program corresponds to the one in the game so it is a great help when map making - even if it is time consuming should you go for crazy detail and the map is complex.

I recommend using a second screen of some kind, one with the venhola map, one screen with the game to speed things up. The last few maps I've built I used the TV (HDMI cable) as my second screen.

Buut - Venhola is not working for me anymore...

It works...... mostly

If the bottom button shows M and the screen is white........


Press it and it will turn to C and you will start to see the map


Press it again and the map will be clear
