    Yup, that's Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia, repositioned. My tectonic movements aren't perfect, but they're fairly close to the various projections I've read. The altitudes are based off of Earth altitudes as well.

    Looks like a helluva project. I'm not read up on the subject enough to give any input, but I'll follow the thread and give any help I can.

    Again, just to reiterate, I'm looking for any advice on placing climate zones (as simple as the combinations of hot/cold and dry/wet) and terrain types (forest, grassland, hills, mountains, wetlands ...). Again, I'm on my way to slowly finishing it, but any advice would be super.

    Heh. I worked on the tectonics sporadically for years, and I realized that I needed to flip the map upside down to hide it. Apparently there's pole shifts, so I can switch which way compasses point and it will switch the map. The only issue is that East and West apparently refer to the sun, and my world the sun will rise in the west and set in the east if I keep the cardinal directions in the same order. Africa is too difficult to mask, though; nothing I could do would do it.

    Maybe someone has an idea?
