Campaign Cartographer query

I have CC2 6.X along with the City/Dungeon Designer add-ons.

.....dabbled with them...made some spiffy maps for my campaign.


1) Is it worth upgrading to CC2 Pro? Why?

2) Is it just the core program that has to be upgraded or do I have to
purchase the add-ons again as well? (which would triple the cost of
upgrading)

CC-Pro adds a lot of new tools, mainly aimed at speeding up mapping by
circumventing the learning curve somewhat. There are some additional
interface niceties, too. However, Pro is essentially "6+" - before
upgrading, try d/l the current Universal Upgrade from ProFantasy's site
(you need to register CC to do so) and run that. I *think* (not 100%
sure - I went from CC2 5 to Pro) CC2 6 -> Pro is encapsulated by the UU.
The version of CC2 I use is 6.12.

The UU upgrades all of your add-ons. It figures out which ones you
have, and upgrades them accordingly. So, no, you don't have to purchase
the add-ons again. I don't think you even have to purchase CC2-Pro,
either - try the UU first, then go from there.
