So I've been working on building a new world, and I'm going for smaller. I was thinking of having two or three major factions and of course many minor factions. The dilemma I've run into is generating land masses in FT3...I'm unsure whether I want one big continent that's spaced over the whole of the rowld, or several continents? My current favorite is two medium size continents, but I also like the ones that consist of long strips of land that spread along the whole equator like a ring around the planet...

Anyone want to give me some arguments one way or the other? I'm looking for scientific/geologic reasons as well as world planning reasons...Aesthetic reasons are good too.
