    Haha. It's rare that visitors have good things to say about Bracknell, although the area is pretty nice.

    That map actually wasn't finished. I needed to do the masking at some point. After trying to make the world more believable, I'm completely stumped. I think I'll just use that one as a prototype and start a new world. Right now I have this one, which I've made some changes to.

    How could it be improved?

    I realise it's still too mountainous so I'd like to create some plains and plateaus. Some nice swamps and lake regions would be awesome too.

    I saw this tutorial, which looks great. But I don't want to create a recently-thawed post-ice age planet. How would I teach myself the skills used in that.

    I'm happy to keep working on it to get a realistic world with a realistic climate before I go into regional mapping now.

    EDIT: Thanks for all that info atlasilvapuer! It seems I need to start right at the bottom and work my way up. I have sketched out my tectonic plates. I'll superimpose them on the image above so people can see if I'm on the right track.
