    Hey all, thanks a lot for the positive input! I didn't realize the map was that good Anyway, it feels good when something succeeds well. Now it's time to filter out the small (and maybe not so small) mistakes I made, and then start mapping the islands and the topography of the continents.

    @groovey: Not a silly question at all! Indeed, I chose it rather randomly, and adapted it where it really created problems. So, nothing mathematical involved.

    @Triskelli: Good question, I'd like to know that too, because right now I don't have a clue...

    Cheers - Akubra

    Well, after a little research, I suppose you could go about doing that by scattering a handful of cratons in the middle of the current plates and adding mountain ranges on trailing edges or where cratons might of collided in the past. Though considering the tectonics you've got set up the centers of most of the continents already have active plate boundaries in the middle I suppose this might set itself up as a number of island chains?
