Thank you! The original resolution of the map is 9000x6116px at 300 DPI - so it's quite large up close. I've attached a close-up screenshot with this post.
As far as the lush areas, I'm not well learned with climates, though I had looked at something called the 'climate cookbook'(which helped some).

I was planning on doing another projection aside from the cylindrical sort - the Van dir Grinten projection is what I leaned toward. But, that's another horse, for another rodeo right now.
I'll see what I can find as far as wind and weather patterns go, though. Click image for larger version.
