[WIP] Estreoth

--My eyes really want to see something more than flat blue for the water. There is a lot of blank blue space, and I am eager to see it filled--not sure if texturing it would ruin the nice soft-on-the-eyes scheme you have going or not though. Maybe you plan to add more continents in that big area to the left though. If so, feel free to ignore this.

Yeah it hadn't occurred to me yet to vary the ocean color. I was going to add another region to the south west, but I decided to hold off for now since the continent I was going to put in would've been larger then the available space.

--The snow seems to start pretty abruptly, fading from a nice lush green or brown arid planes in a really short distance. Not sure what to do about it, though. Maybe an area of really dark, cold green would make me think of pine forests, rather than warm maple-filled forests and spring-time grasslands that the current greens reminds me of.

I just checked a satellite map of Canada. Before the arctic region kicks in, there's a subtle browning of the landscape. Link here. I think mixing dark green with spots of a light brown should do the trick. Although I might end up creating another northern continent for some arctic goodness.

--Also, is this a pangea-style world map, or a single continent? The labeling, textures, and shapes of the landmass makes me think the latter is true, in which case having desert, forest, highlands, and tundra all packed so close together seems unlikely.

Well, the tundra is off, primarily since latitude hasn't ever been estimated. (I'll probably try to do that shortly.) However the desert is the result of a very large rain shadow (combined with an ancient cataclysm or two).

--I am not sure exactly how mountain ranges work, but (to my untrained eye) the Dyorian mountain range seems like it might be too be too close to the sea/ocean--like the two should be separated by a nice Californian area. Rainshadows do provide a reason why a desert would exist the same latitude as what looks like a lush forest, though the desert does seem really big, considering how well off the rest of the continent seems to look, vegetation-wise.

The mountains start between 30 and 100 miles inland. It's fairly narrow, but i don't think it'll be too extreme.

Anyhow, great map you have going here. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing how this develops.

Thanks Also i fixed the old map link.

On a side note, my shoddy math work finally fixed itself. I had been thinking the total size of this map had been 34,406,400 square km. Turns out it's probably closer to 155,946,292 square km. Horrah for my lousy math, lol.

Nice, is your map meant to be at that same kind of scale? Am I looking at an area roughly the size of Canada?

Glad to try and help. Be sure to post your progress as you go!

Actually, including the oceans, the area of the map is 3.5 times that of Asia. But that's total area, I'm not sure what just the land area is at the moment. It's still safe to say the land itself is the roughly the size of Asia. (Assuming my math isn't way off this time.)
