Fortunately I had a few screenshots of parts of the map, so I won't have to rebuild the entire continent from memory. I've made a little progress already, and finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Worldographer - the interface takes a little getting used to, but it runs so much smoother. I'm also being more careful with my files, and have copied a backup of my work so far onto my external drive in addition to sending it to one of my partners.
Lesson learned: Back up your data before you have a total system failure.
My reconstruction so far; hopefully I can at least finish the Kingdom. |
